External Interference In Africa

External interference in Africa is not a new phenomenon. External interference has taken the form of economic exploitation, military intervention and political manipulation. As far as I’m able to judge, interference happens because of our own inferiority and the supremacy views of others.

A Future in Crisis

Our perception of land size can influence how we view a country’s potential, resources, and even its people. But does land size correlate with power and potential?

Determining the Future Now

I remember most of the things I learned when I was young. I always joke that I have a bad memory given that I never remember to complete tasks and always forget details of recent events. But I still remember intricate details of activities I engaged in when was young – even the faint smell

KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE

Not even the effulgence of the bright morning sun and the cock crow were able to brighten up Afua’s morning as she pondered upon how bleak the future of Ghana seemed. She describes it as ‘Ghana walking on a razor’s edge.’ She looked dejected as we spoke. Finally, with a deep sigh, she said “Ghana
