Africa May Not Survive The Challenges Of 21st Century With This Current Approach by youngEmelex(op): 12:36pm On Sep 25
The challenges of this 21st century are in multiple dimensions and can only be contained by experts in certain fields of study.
It is not a century for the illiterates and unskilled people like it was in previous centuries where people needed to only hunt and farm.
There will be a lot of pandemics in this century. We have already seen COVID-19 and Ebola. These pandemics can only be contained by experts in medical fields and those who can quickly come up with vaccines.
This century will also face the wrath of the climate as a result of industrialization and humans' interference with the ecosystem. This again requires experts to contain.

Islamic terrorism and the ideology to kill all unbelievers is another thing to watch out for in this century and this requires security experts and high level military involvement to contain.
To make this article short, I will skip the remaining details and other challenges that is confronting and will confront this century but the summary is that Africa is not in anyway scaling up to meet any of these challenges.
We depend on Europe and America for vaccines, drugs, technology, military training etc. Donald Trump recently cut some fundings and we are finding it hard to sustain those areas now.

If we refuse to put all these into consideration, there will be a time when America and the rest of the world will be too busy with their internal affairs and Africa will be left to take care of all her needs.

100% .
There might come a time in the near future when Africans will be begging any interested powers to come and re-colonize us.
