Politics and Economics of Africa. Volume 9

A continent of vast diversity, stretching from the deserts of the north through the equatorial tropics into the more temperate south, Africa brims with challenges and issues. This book collects a series of papers examining a number of these topics and how they impact African nations, the United States and the global community. The book discusses the current conditions and crisis in North Uganda; U.S. foreign assistance to Africa; Kenya's elections and the challenges ahead; the crisis in Darfur and the status of the North-South Peace Agreement; the humanitarian, political and security conditions in Somalia and current issues in Morocco.
