In a contemporary context where there is no longer an African country under colonial rule, it is questionable why the ‘scramble for Africa’ narrative is resurgent, writes @folasoule https://t.co/AwqOtVILwN

@folasoule's perspective on the 'new scramble for Africa' narrative is an interesting take on the single story narrative of Africa as a victim without agency; https://t.co/WfXZebyK7E

Excellent read on why the "scramble for Africa" narrative denies Africa's agency, and actually hurts African interests! Next question could be to see beyond the African political leadership and explore how civil society, the public consider and interact
