Talking Africa - Leadership and nation building in S.Sudan by ALC Pan-African Radio

Les pays francophones d'Afrique de l'Ouest ont une histoire complexe et interdépendante. Ayant traversé l'esclavage, la colonisation et accédé à l'indépendance au cours de la même décennie, ils sont aujourd'hui politiquement et économiquement liés par le biais de deux principales institutions régionales, à savoir la CEDEAO (Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest) et l'UEMOA (Union économique et monétaire ouest-africaine). Cependant, malgré la fin du colonialisme, la France maintient toujours une forte présence dans ces pays et certains d'entre eux ont connu un niveau d'insécurité sans précédent ces dernières années. Raïssa Zoungrana, membre de l'African Leadership Centre s'intéressant aux questions de sécurité en Afrique de l'Ouest/Sahel, elle en explique les causes et comment différents acteurs dans les pays francophones prétendent résoudre la situation.

In the age of globalization food security and stability are interlinked; armed conflicts are a key driver of food insecurity affecting regions beyond the battlefield. The ongoing Ukraine war is testament to this notion as it has created new food insecurity whilst highlighted existing systemic weaknesses in global food security. The European Union’s partial embargo of Russian oil and its plans to phase imports of Russian natural gas, creates an opportunity for African oil and natural gas-producing countries to access global market. Sara Tadesse a fellow at the Africa Leadership Centre has an academic background in International Relations and African Studies. She looks at the implications of the ongoing war in the Ukraine on food security in the continent.

In 2013, the African Union adopted its Silencing the Guns initiative with the aim of silencing all guns and ending all conflicts by 2020. For the past nine years the African Union has undertaken efforts to realise this laudable objective, guided by the AU Master Roadmap of Practical Steps to Silence the Guns in Africa. In a quest to ensure that all guns are silenced in Africa, the AU has earmarked September as the Africa amnesty month, where all Africans can return their guns without fear of prosecution. Gorata Chepete shares with us what the amnesty month means and how Africa can better prepare for its success. She is a Motswana criminologist with a Degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Botswana and a Diploma in Political Economic Risk Analysis from the University of Stellenbosch. She is currently a Fellow on the African Leadership Centre’s (ALC) Peace, Security and Development Fellowship Programme for Early Career Women in partnership with King’s College London (KCL). She previously worked close

Wokedje Homawoo is a Togolese and French Leadership and Development MSc student and Peace, Security, and Development Associate Fellow at the King’s College London African Leadership Centre. She holds an International Management BSc from The University of Manchester Alliance Business School and The Chinese University of Hong Kong. With experiences in both the private and non-profit sectors, her research interests include food security and sustainable agriculture, education access, and digital transformation. Today we will be exploring notions of media and communications in the African context. What role do media and communications play in governance and culture? How can an intergovernmental continental institution such as the African Union openly admit their inefficiency in communicating with its constituents?

West African francophone countries shave a complex interrelated history. Having gone through slavery, colonization and reaching independence within the same decade, today they are politically, and economically interwined through two main regional institutions, namely ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States), and WAEMU (West African Economic and Monetary Union). However, despite the end of colonialism, France still maintains a strong presence in these countries and some of them have been witnessed an unprecedented level of insecurity in recent years. Raïssa Zoungrana a fellow at the African Leadership Centre with an interest in security issues in West Africa or the Sahel, discusses how different actors in Francophone countries are pretending to resolve the situation.
