“Africa’s prospects for growth and development are
affected by the trends prevailing in the global community.
The most important recent developments are the
emergence of the global war on terrorism, and the wars
in Afghanistan and Iraq. International security issues have
supplanted other priorities on the global agenda. The fear
is that this may eclipse the focus on poverty and
underdevelopment, particularly in Africa…”1
