The Impacts Of Political Conflicts In Africa, Douglas Kimemia
The Impacts Of Political Conflicts In Africa, Douglas Kimemia
Journal of African Conflicts and Peace Studies
The number of conflicts and deaths in Africa is rooted in the complex constructions and conjectures of Africa’s political economies, weak institutions, social identities, and cultural ecologies, as configured by specific local, national, regional, and historical experiences.

Corruption And Soccer In Africa: Empirical Evidence On The Determinants Of Association Soccer Success In The Continent, Mustafa Zahid
Undergraduate Honors Theses

In 2006, the Chinese government released its first ever Africa policy paper.
