In a continent bedeviled with conflict in smaller, but key areas, with a humanitarian crisis the world has chosen to ignore, hunger and disease, more conflict and migration, remain Africa’s daily worries.

Amid such chaos and disorganisation, witnessed in Sudan and DRC, and the instability in Southern Sudan, and other parts of the continent, hunger and disease visit, and linger longer. Corruption also thrives. Besides, there is a likelihood of unchecked and unwarranted public borrowing, and spending on things that do not necessarily benefit the masses.
