Africa in Crisis:
Seeking Solutions for a Region in Turmoil
Failed states and lawless enclaves – some of them larger than France – dot Africa. Numerous de facto civil wars, the worldwide greatest increase in radical militant Islam, potential for genocide – the outlook for the dark continent seems dark indeed.
The implications extend far beyond the suffering of the African peoples. Terrorists
and drug cartels are using Africa as a convenient stepping stone to Europe. Al Qaeda
allies control Northern Mali. Iran and China, among other rivals to the West, are
investing human and financial capital to establish footholds in Africa, and gain
control over the continent’s strategic minerals and energy reserves.
