Africa will remain turbulent because it is poor and young, but also because it is growing and dynamic. Development is disruptive but also presents huge opportunities. The continent needs to plan accordingly.
Levels of armed conflict in Africa rise and fall. Data from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, the Global Terrorism Database and others indicate that armed conflict peaked in 1990/91 at the end of the Cold War, declined to 2005/6, remained relative stable to 2010/11 and then increased to 2015, although it peaked at lower levels than in 1990/91 before its most recent decline.

The woman in the middle is called 'Progress', and she carries a book which represents the intellectual developments. These developments came together with the innovative tecnical and farming mechanisms that the indigenous people who moved to the area had to put in practice in order to make a living in the new lands, and that allowed them to undertake agricultural activities profitably.
