ANDREW MURRAY surveys a quaking continent whose leaders have no idea how to respond to an openly contemptuous United States
A new Pan-Africanism for a New Century
Following the Eurocentric pathways to identity and development are a fallacy that is holding Africa back, ROGER McKENZIE argues

THE story of the remaining three quarters of the 21st century will be the phoenix-like rise of the Third World.
A key part of this new beginning will be the development of a new pan-Africanist movement to end what is increasingly being labelled as the 500 years of exploitation and humiliation faced by people of African descent.
It will also be an indispensable cog in the machinery that will build a new multilateral world.
