Abstract:

In contemporary times democracy is threatened across West African states like never before. Democracy is under increasing assault from the elected leaders and their cronies. A noticeable, subtle, stifling strangulation of democratic structures and substance leads to the erosion of democracy in more than a few West African countries and a total breakdown of democracy through coups in others. Despite the attempts by the ECOWAS and AU to discourage democratic breakdown in Africa, military intervention continues to truncate democracies in many African countries.

Maize and other cereals are the commodities most contaminated with fumonisins. The maize acreage is increasing in Africa, and the maize harvest provides important foods for humans and feeds for domestic animals throughout the continent. In North Africa, high levels of fumonisins have been reported from Algeria and Morocco, while low levels have been detected in the rather few fumonisin analyses reported from Tunisia and Egypt. The West African countries Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, and Nigeria all report high levels of fumonisin contamination of maize, while the few maize samples analysed in

Monkeypox (MPX) is a re-emerging zoonotic disease caused by the MPX virus (MPXV), a member of the orthopoxvirus genus of the poxviridae family. Before 2022, local transmission of MPX was essentially limited to the rainforest regions of Central and West Africa where the disease is known to be endemic1. The MPXV is a large DNA virus that is very stable and more efficient than many RNA viruses at detecting and repairing mutations. This makes the virus less prone to higher transmissibility unlike RNA viruses such as SARS-CoV-22. Prior to the 2022 outbreak, two distinct clades of the MPXV were reco

Abstract:

The West African region has experienced high economic development. With the increasing energy consumption and emissions, how to coordinate the relationship among energy consumption, trade opening, and economic growth, and how to develop a low-carbon development pattern are becoming the most important issues in West Africa. This paper uses the tri-variable Toda-Yamamoto model to investigate the dynamic interactions among energy consumption, economic growth, and trade in West Africa. The findings indicate that, first, the positive impact of energy consumption on economic growth in West Africa ha

Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) Is an evergreen perennial tree crop that produce hard greyish nut enclosing a white nutritious kernel. The kernel is one of the major edible nuts or snacks with increasing global demand. The world's largest and most active cashew production region is in West Africa; where Cote d’ivoire, Nigeria, Benin, Guinea-bissau and Ghana top the list of countries where it thrives best. Since 2014, cashew has become the second-main crop after cocoa in terms of export value, in these countries. It is one of the essential agricultural commodities that have significantly boo

Abstract:

To a large extent, the world seems to have seen more films from the West than from anywhere else. In sub-Saharan Africa for example, it was not until the early 1960s that the Africans had the opportunity to stand behind the lens to tell their own story. Unlike the cinema of the West, ‘African cinema’ was borne more out of the resistance to its representation by the West. From Ousmane Sembene’s time till now, other filmmakers from Anglophone as well as Lusophone countries have made different films on different subjects about nation and culture.

The progressive development of African societies directly depends on the formation of modern mechanisms for the progressive modernization of all spheres of public life on the African continent. Thus, the primary role on the path to modernization and development of Africa is given to infrastructure projects implemented by joint efforts of African states and international companies. The creation of transport corridors connecting several African countries is a priority for infrastructure projects. Such corridors are a kind of multimodal solution for solving several strategic tasks: the possibilit

Africa is a pivotal continent for international drug traffickers and criminal organizations. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) estimates, approximately 40 to 50 tons of cocaine destined for the European market passes through the African continent each year.1 The illicit profits from such activities amount to at least 1.8 billion dollars, but it could be much larger according to some estimates. Such profits provide drug traffickers with the financial means to destabilize already weak governmental structures and law enforcement institutions in various African coun

Incidentally, this tends to hurt middle- and low-income populations and corporate investors as it limits access to finance and reduces prices. However, when efforts are exerted to increase capital flows, it deepens better opportunities in enhancing economic prospects. This study examined the effect of capital flows on real interest rates of selected West African countries.
