ACCORDING 2 AALIYAH

Welcome to According 2 Aaliyah (A2A), a weekly space for analysis and reflection on Africa's international relations. Each week, I delve into topics that matter: from high-stakes multilateral summits to under-reported bilateral agreements, from electoral contests that reshape regional dynamics to conflicts that demand international attention. The aim is to provide context, challenge assumptions, and offer informed perspectives on the issues that too often receive superficial treatment in mainstream coverage.

Africa is not a monolith, nor is it a passive actor in global affairs. The continent's 54 nations pursue diverse strategies, hold distinct interests, and wield varying degrees of influence. A2A seeks to capture this complexity while making sense of the bigger picture. Whether you are a policy professional, investor, researcher, student, or simply someone interested in understanding Africa's place in the world, A2A offers rigorous analysis delivered in an accessible voice with a door-open policy for engagement.
