The urgency of training and equipping African thought leaders | Thabo Mbeki African School of Public & International Affairs

This map shows how Africa’s borders and political landscape have changed dramatically over two centuries. In 1818, most of the continent was defined by colonial ambitions, but by 2016 it had become a vibrant mosaic of 54 independent nations—each forged through stories of resistance, resilience, and redefinition. A powerful reminder of Africa’s journey and enduring strength. Map via Ollie Bye Credit: @the.world.in.maps What did you guys think? Let us know in the comments. Follow @authentic_africa
