In the five years that have elapsed since the publishing of Kaplan’s original book, change has taken place in several African countries, including North African Arabic ones; from Egypt to Kenya to Liberia, politicians male and female who embody some sort of change toward stability have been asserting themselves, with the support of a undisputed majority of anarchy-weary and exhausted inhabitants. How permanent this change may be cannot be judged as yet. The continent is seeking a new identity: the establishment of the African Union is supposed to create conditions for co-operation; the participation of African countries in developing countries’ associations within the WTO is a sign of the will to participate in the joint creation of a global political system by overcoming continental disintegration. The governments of the wealthiest industrial countries, associated in the G8, have played an especial role in this process; in 2005 they agreed to take measures to cancel the African countries’ debt in order to set the fundamental preconditions for a consolidation of their economies. | In the five years that have elapsed since the publishing of Kaplan’s original book, change has taken place in several African countries, including North African Arabic ones; from Egypt to Kenya to Liberia, politicians male and female who embody some sort of change toward stability have been asserting themselves, with the support of a undisputed majority of anarchy-weary and exhausted inhabitants.
