Rebel groups are controlling broad swathes of the country, exploiting mineral wealth, and levying taxes on cattle migration.

Ainsi, il n’existe pas une seule jeunesse africaine mais des jeunesses a ...

    The author is an alumnus of the Atlantic Dialogues Emeging Leaders Program 2014. The discussion on industry 4.0 (also often referred to as smart manufacturing or industrial internet of things – which is the term mostly used in the United States of America) has graduated from being a niche topic discussed (and implemented) by engineers in the world’s richest economies. If industry 4.0 has not physically arrived everywhere, it is at least in the minds of some: industry 4.0 in Africa, ...
