    During the 1960’s, most African countries previously held by the Europeans were released from colonial rule. The Europeans didn’t put in place any government or infrastructure before they relinquished control. This vacuum of power led to an influx of totalitarian regimes and dictatorships followed by a pandemic of poverty across the continent. Many of these dictators aligned with the Soviet Union, who further exploited Africa’s vast natural resources with no compensation given to the local people. In the past half century, some of the Soviet aligned dictators and hierarchies have been toppled in violent civil wars and replaced by democratic elections. However this new concept of African “democracy” has not brought peace and prosperity with…

    Africa has seen its fair share of controversy politically. This is apparent from the readings we discussed in class: They Poured Fire on us from the Sky, A Grain of Wheat, and Half of a Yellow Sun. In each of these books, the author or authors tie in ways politics or government itself impacted the continent of Africa. The countries I chose to compare with these books are two that experienced dramatic change, whether that be from rebellion from nationals, a new religion trying to make its presence known, or corruption within the political system itself. Through the 20th and 21st centuries Egypt and Angola experienced these changes and much more.…

    Balancing media regulations with freedom of speech is the overriding problem with this debate. On the one hand, there is a regulation process whereby parliament appoints a regulatory leader, or group of individuals, to act as a regulator of journalists and journalistic practices. That group or leader is also given jurisdiction in terms of fining, reprimanding and jailing those journalists if they are found to have infringed on the regulations established. This form of media regulation, known as statutory regulation, is frowned upon as being undemocratic as it hinders the rights of expression of journalists and the rights to information of the consumers.…

    The average citizen would be surprised how often he/she looks at any media related things, such as newspapers, television, books, even the internet, that are censored. Think about it. Have you ever watched a movie like 21 Jump Street on TV, and during a conversation, a character’s dialogue goes silent? The character’s lips seem to be moving, but no words are being expressed. That is an example of censorship. Sure, censorship can be used for great things, especially if you have children running around. However, there have been times throughout our world’s history that censorship has been abused and used for the wrong reasons. Censorship should be eliminated due to the abuse…

    Journalist Allan Jenkins once said, "Censorship in any form is the enemy of creativity, since it cuts off the life blood of creativity: ideas." Censorship weakens a society's ability to produce provoking and interesting things, and ultimately results in a homogenized world where all is made bland in order to avoid offending anyone. Censorship is an all too common plight of the art community; pieces are censored because they are deemed offensive, irreverent, or just plain misunderstood. Dennis Oppenheim has first-hand experience with the wrath of censors; his artistic tenure has suffered from many of his adversaries' attempts to hide his works from the public eye.…

    Lasting peace and stability remains one thing that for a long time has eluded the African continent both in the pre colonial and the colonial era. The scourges of slave trade, inter-tribal warfare and more importantly the imposition of colonial rule on the people of Africa made peace and stability on the continent quite elusive. Obviously, one would foresee emancipation and independence as a sure way to relative peace and stability. Unfortunately, the post-colonial conflict situation on the continent has proven more disturbing than ever in the history of the continent. The formation of the Organization of African Unity(OAU was seen as an effort to resolving the conflict situation on the continent, but hardly had the ink dried on the OAU’s Charter than the continent witness a myriad of civil wars and military coup d’états. The concept of non-interference in the internal affairs of member states and respect for the sanctity of boarders was to blame for the OAU’s inability to resolve these conflicts. Subsequently, amendments were made to the OAU Charter which led to the adoption of a new charter which marked the birth of the African Union in Addis Ababa on 26th May, 2001. The Union was launched in July 9, 2002 in South Africa to replace the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). Among the AU’s objectives is the promotion of peace security and stability on the continent. Embedded in this objective is the Union’s role to intervene and resolve conflicts in the continent. Since its inception, the African Union has intervened in and helped to resolve a number of conflicts on the continent, some of which were in Burundi, Sudan (Darfur),and Comoros.…
