OverviewMost attempts at trying to reach an understanding of the true causes of the woes of the African continent harps at the injustices of the imperialist on the one hand, who disfigured her territorial boundaries, throwing her into utter confusion and exploiting the same, and consequently, the corrupt and inept leadership that took over from there to wreak even greater havoc. Throughout the discourse on the state of the continent, one thing that has remained missing, however, is a new vision with brighter prospects to which the continent could aspire. It is in response to this great need that the African Union developed a plan (Agenda 2063) to serve as a beacon for the continent and its member states. This work, therefore, and in its unique way, draws attention to this aspiration, informing and educating the reader of its relevance and urgency. It also suggests and demonstrate how that a rights-based approach is the best way to go, as the needs and the shades in which they appear are as diverse as the people themselves. The book also explores the place of peace and security in the entire equation, stretching a bit further and away from the original conception contained in the agenda. With an analysis tailored to reflect and address the unique African landscape, certain principles that would serve as undergirds to positive peace were discussed. The work also explores what security really entails and the hidden reasons why security and security agencies in the continent are often compromised, attempts at rejuvenating them notwithstanding. Other ramifications of security and safety are equally captured and linked to the overall success of Agenda 2063 and its sustainability once accomplished. The book is, therefore, potent not just in educating and informing one, but also in engaging the interested mind on the subject of reinventing the continents existential realities.
