Abstract:
Africa is located far
from the Russian-Ukrainian armed conflict, but is suffering the consequences of
this conflict. Most African countries have "failed to choose sides"
to avoid risks, but are suffering from escalating food prices, fuel prices,
inflation, economic recession while still grappling with the consequences of
the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, Africa faces the opportunity to assert its
independent position in the new world order, as well as expand food farming,
meet consumer demand, and avoid disasters during a time of food prices rising; improve oil and gas extraction
and production capacity to fill gaps arising from supply chain disruptions;
eradication of hunger, poverty and inequality.
