Deep historic and cultural links are keeping the West engaged in Africa, but changing geopolitical dynamics are changing how its economic and strategic importance is viewed.

Accusing Without Proof In a Time of Mourning Is Not Journalism, It’s Cruelty

By any democratic measure, the abduction of a journalist is alarming. It strikes at the heart of media freedom, chills public discourse, and threatens the press’s ability to speak truth to power.

A free press is a non-negotiable pillar of democracy. And yet, as we condemn his abduction, we cannot — and must not — ignore a painful truth: Kofi Asare’s own conduct, just days before his abduction, was a shameful dereliction of the most basic human decency required of a journalist. On Saturday, August 9, while a nation reeled from the horrific helicopter crash that claimed eight precious lives — including...

But as this tide rises, we must also ask: What happens to the male child? Who is preparing him to stand alongside the empowered woman with emotional intelligence, purpose, and stability?
