Economic reforms, elections, transitional governments, social unrest, shifting militants, and much more in this forecast for #Africa in #2020. GANJA - Africa’s outlook for this year is as diverse as the continent itself. In the west, the geographic focus of militant groups is moving south, placing the coastal nations at jeopardy. It’s also affecting the behaviour of the local policymakers. To the east, the quest for revenue is leading to economic liberalisation. The road ahead is riddled with controversy as the old political elites are unwilling to give up power. Meanwhile, in south and central Africa, people will vote for new representatives. Some elections will be free, some will be unfair, and some hold the potential to turn violent. All these trends are taking shape in addition to the usual economic shortcomings and political reforms. So, let’s talk about Africa in 2020.
