The borders of Africa's countries are defined by the European partitioning that came from the Berlin Conference of 1885. Today, these borders cause numerous problems, and the push for a United States of Africa, originally suggested by Kwame Nkrumah, is beginning to make sense. 2. Restoring Democracy in Africa, Larry Diamond, USA Today Magazine (Society for the Advancement of Education), January 1998. There is a new spirit and awareness in Africa today, and, as a result, some states are beginning to record economic growth. "If the structures of democracy and the market become institutionalized in Africa, development will follow and the continuous cycle of misery and violence" should come to an end. 3. Economic Takeoff in Africa?, Deborah Br utigam, Current History, May 1998. Sub-Saharan Africa has been mired in almost two decades of economic crisis. Today, in the aggregate, many countries are experiencing a positive growth rate. Even given the high increase in population, growth has expanded on a per capita basis. 4. Africa: The Next Tiger Economy?, World Press Review, July 1998. The image of Africa as the sick continent of the world is firmly entrenched, and the idea of explosive economic growth there comes as a shock. Indeed, Africa is experiencing an unprecedented rate of economic expansion, and it may soon play a larger role in the world economy. 5. Sub-Saharan Africa: At the Turning Point, Shanti R. Conly, The Humanist, July/August 1998. Africa is making new headway: democracy and economic reform are revitalizing the continent, and a number of countries are experiencing dynamic economic growth. However, control of population growth is needed, and with greater political openness, many African governments are addressing health and education needs. 6. History As Guide: Thinking about Human Rights in Africa, Martin L. Kilson Jr., (Part contents).
