The Political Situation of SSA and North African Countries

There are two regions in this world that conflict and political insecurity existed at the highest level—Africa and the Middle East. Political instability appears to be one of the most important obstacles to economic development and has become endemic in several African countries. Africa is the source of civilization, the cradle of mankind, the very richly endowed with natural resources, and yet Africa is the poorest continent and paradox of plenty, an example of poor governance and plagued with authoritarian regime, civil conflicts, and human rights violation. Bad leadership has long been a brake on the political, economic, social and cultural development of several African countries. Africa will remain a corrupt nation until the end of the time, as corrupted leaders continue to emerge into power every day through crooked means. Africa needs courageous, moral, responsible and selfless leaders.
