Africa, a land of breathtaking landscapes, diverse cultures, and vibrant people, is also a continent often associated with poverty. This can seem puzzling at first glance. After all, Africa is blessed with an abundance of natural resources – oil, diamonds, gold, fertile land, and more. So, why is Africa still grappling with widespread poverty?

The answer lies in a complex web of factors, some stemming from the very resources that hold so much potential. This paradox, where resource wealth can hinder development, is known as the “resource curse.”

Let’s delve deeper into this phenomenon and explore the challenges and opportunities Africa faces on its path to prosperity.

Embedded within the rich tapestry of Africa’s diverse nations lies the intricate phenomenon of media censorship, an intricate web of control, regulation, and cultural sensitivity. Across this expansive continent, media governance spans a spectrum, ranging from authoritarian control to nuanced restrictions, shaping the narrative fabric of each society. This comprehensive exploration of media censorship across various African contexts endeavors to unravel the complex layers shaped by historical legacies, sociopolitical landscapes, and cultural nuances.

Examples of forbidden content underscore the diverse nature of media censorship within African nations. In certain regions, explicit materials, including video porno or provocative content, face stringent prohibitions. This illustrates the intersection between cultural values and media censorship policies, showcasing how certain expressions are curtailed to preserve traditional moral frameworks.

Africa’s history is a testament to the resilience and transformation of nations bound by a shared struggle. The epoch of decolonization, spanning from the mid-20th century to the present, stands as an epochal period that witnessed the continent’s metamorphosis from the clutches of colonialism to the embrace of change. This article embarks on a profound exploration of the intricate tapestry of decolonization and its enduring reverberations across the intricate political landscape of Africa.

The liberation movements that swept across the continent were not mere rebellions; they were manifestations of the human spirit’s unyielding quest for self-determination. The struggle for independence was not confined to geopolitical boundaries; it resonated as a collective call for freedom, dignity, and sovereignty. African leaders and activists, often emerging from the crucible of adversity, spearheaded movements that shattered chains and ignited a new era of political awakening.

Pornography has been a controversial issue in many countries around the world. While some people see it as harmless entertainment, others argue that it is harmful to society and should be regulated.

Although pornography has been around for centuries, it wasn’t until the 20th century that it became a mainstream industry. With the advent of the internet, access to free porn has become easier than ever before.

This article explores the politics of regulating pornography and the various arguments for and against it.

Corruption has remained a significant problem in many African countries, and it affects every aspect of life.

From the provision of basic amenities like healthcare and education to economic growth and political stability, corruption in African politics has created a massive barrier to development and progress.

Corruption takes various forms, ranging from embezzlement of public funds to nepotism, and bribery, among others. Despite efforts to combat corruption, the scourge remains pervasive, and its effects continue to be felt across the continent.

This article explores the root causes, consequences, and possible solutions to corruption in African politics.

It is a fact that the infrastructure deficit reduces the economic growth of the African continent by 2% annually. The figures are very alarming: only 34% of the population had adequate road access, 70% lacked electricity and only 6% of the population can enjoy the internet and its free porn videos.

Historically, the lack of infrastructure has hindered productivity and raised production costs on the continent, which has ultimately affected the implementation of social development policies by the UN and African governments.

However, there are some projects that could completely transform the African continent and with which anyone can collaborate. Here we tell you what they are:

The Presidency submitted the draft Conclusions on Mobility Partnerships as a tool of the Global Approach to Migration. Their objective is, taking into account the experience of the pilot Mobility Partnerships, to confirm the value of this cooperation instrument, which addresses the three components of the Global Approach (legal migration, illegal migration, migration and development) and to set criteria for the identification of third-countries with which the European Union could conclude new Mobility Partnerships.

Important changes have been occurring in the ill-defined area of partnership in Africa, mainly in the context of the African Union’s quest for development as well as peace and security on the continent. The purpose of this ISS paper is to identify and describe the implication of these partnerships, as well as their long-term development objectives and, subsequently, to evaluate their relevance to the present economic conditions of African countries.

The Presidency submitted the above draft Conclusions on Migration for Development, in relation with the issue of the Policy Coherence for Development. The objective of the draft Conclusions is to identify a number of challenges relating to Policy Coherence for Development (PCD), to be addressed by the Commission and the Member States.
