Changing Security Threats: What Africans Must Accommodate in the XX1st Century.

Abstract

The increasing number of states in Sub-Saharan Africa that are failing has led to an extended and agonizing search for new international mechanisms to prevent the complete collapse of government structures and to begin the rehabilitation effort. The threat environment for Sub-Saharan Africa for the twenty first century paints a bleak picture for the region. A cooperative approach entailing decisive ways by international and continental role-players are necessary to stem the tide of deterioration. An aggressive strategy towards improved socio-economic conditions in the short term and regional development in the long term is critical to ensure Sub-Saharan Africa becomes part of and play a participating role in the global economic community.
