As Africa hopes to gain from the "new scramble'

Feb 16,2020 5:38 am

In the past year, China-Africa summit, the majority of participants from African heads of state and government

Major World powers are jostling for political and economic influence in Africa , but what is behind the renewed Interest on The Continent , and what African countries are doing? The BBC's Dickens Olewe reports.

In recent years, the Africans are used to see their leaders, collect air miles, while honor-invitations to participate in a number of Africa -themed summits around The World , often promoted as win-win partnerships.

Last year, Japan, Russia, and China hosted the African presidents and heads of government; last month, the 15 African heads of state and government attended the UK-Africa Investment Summit in London, and invitations are already sent, for similar events are reportedly planned to be held in France, Saudi Arabia and Turkey this year.

What is the Interest ?

A mix of The Continent 's rich natural resources, untapped Agricultural Land , the 54 votes in the UN, the growing threat of Islamist militancy, the economy, migration and the fear of, say, the racist, to its growing population, are among the questions behind this newly awakened Interest .

AfpAfrica is More Than just a continent, the production of security threats or unregulated migration, which must include" Uhuru Kenyatta
President of Kenya

the Zambian economist Dr. Dambisa Moyo argues in her 2018 article with the title: Africa Threat.

"There has never been a greater need for a constructive international engagement on The Continent . Besides, The World could have wrote considerable economic rewards to reap from positive engagement," said Dr. Moyo.

Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta said during a recent visit to the USA, Africa , "More Than just a continent, the production of security threats or unregulated migration to be included," but it offers investment opportunities around The World .

However, he warned of the frenzied competition between China, the USA, Russia, and other countries:

"I've noticed the conversations that are returned in the Western countries and their counterparts in Asia and the Middle East , the competition over Africa , in some cases,... which is like Africa for the recording. Now, I want you to not," Mr Kenyatta say, it added.

Ugandan workers are used to assemble cell-phone-cases in a factory in Kampala, But Africa has a Plan ?

In 2013, African heads of state and government, under the African Union (AU) agreed on a proposal to tackle The Myriad of challenges The Continent is facing. The Plan was called Agenda 2063.

It contains a vision of the end of the wars on The Continent , the development of the infrastructure, and allow the freedom of movement on The Continent .

Another flagship project of the African Continental free trade area (AfCTA), The World 's largest free trade Pact in relation to the countries involved expected to improve, and increase trade among African Nations.

the poor condition of The Road infrastructure in the 49 countries in sub-Saharan African countries, resulted in the isolation of the people from basic education, health, services, trade hubs, and economic opportunities, says the ADB.

"Only 43% of the roads in Africa are paved and 30% of them are in one country: South Africa ", Mr Moore says currently a Senior Policy Fellow at The Center for Global Development in the United States.

"It is almost impossible to built a modern society, to build a modern economy without roads," Mr Moore says.
