Africa has a long and hard road ahead of her. Her children must start somewhere, and this is as good a start as any. What they will have to do, because the Western world depends on African nations being poor for resource acquisition, is work on creating technologies that enables the countries to protect themselves from Western influence, sabotage, and military aggression. Her nations need to recall home many of her children from around the world with Medical, Technology, Scientific, and Engineering degrees along with those who have studied Western War Systems.
Western nations will not allow anyone on the continent to have nuclear weapons, so our cousins there will have to be creative and find ways to neutralize those weapons. (*Militarily speculative on my part) I personally would seek to learn to minaturize weapon systems, protect them from external electronic defense systems, and also push in the direction of fast speed minature drone missiles with a high yield to mass ratio (*end speculation). There will be an attempt to stop all of this by every other region that benefits from cheap resources. I just hope our cousins over there look beyond their various ethnicities and see each other as allies in this fight, while also focusing on creative measure to defend each other from the outside aggression that is surely to come.
