In this chapter of the Strategic Survey 2004/5, the authors analyze issues & events impacting strategic geopolitical developments in four African countries as related to the development of internal & international security institutions. The relationship of the US to Sudan's crisis indicates a strong commitment in the alignment with European & UN allies, but is argued to still require a multilateral commitment from the region itself. Tensions between factions & party conflict are seen to create political instability in the Congo, in spite of international intervention to establish electoral procedure. The pervasive conflict in West Africa is claimed to have overcome peacekeeping efforts, & the possible the insinuation of outside powers into internal security policy is suggested. The discord in the Zimbabwe government is predicted to possibly need the creation of a shared transitional government as a venue to surpass the current land dispute. J. Harwell

Facing problems of poverty & AIDS, the Iraq war has not been a pressing concern for Africa. While many African leaders & citizens condemned terrorism, others focused on economic development & poverty relief programs as more pressing concerns as well as better approaches to prevent terrorism. This chapter examines the complex relationship between Africa & the United States mainly due to the fact that some countries -- Ethiopia & Eritrea -- have joined with the United States in support of the war in Iraq, other countries -- Libya & Sudan -- are seen as supporters of terrorism.

Not since the countries of Africa tossed out their colonial filters several decades ago has there been this much optimism and excitement about the continent's prospects. While China's economic expansion has slowed, and while Europe and the US try to dig themselves out of recession, Africa has not only weathered an up-and-down global economy -- it's been booming. According to International Monetary Fund data, sub-Saharan Africa has grown at an annual rate of 4.8% over the last five years, a period that includes the trauma of the global financial crisis. That means it has outperformed other developing regions -- like Latin America, for example, at 3.3% -- and it blows out of the water the advanced economies, which expanded just 0.5% per year. Foreign direct investment in sub-Saharan Africa has leapt from $6 billion in 2000 to $34 billion in 2012. Adapted from the source document.
