Given the currently unfolding dynamics in the international system, my next reflection is on war, its philosophical underpinnings, its legality and the obligations incumbent upon parties to an armed conflict under international treaties and norms.

Migration in Africa is often talked about, but not always understood. The "Migration in Africa: Myths and Realities" manual is here to change that!

It is made for media practitioners and communication officers at CSOs and NGOs, giving them the facts and tools to report accurately on #migration.

The manual walks you through six important areas:
1️⃣ Migration in Africa – Facts and Figures: What the numbers really tell us.
2️⃣ International Migration Law: Understanding the rules that guide movement across borders.
3️⃣ Navigating the Migration Ecosystem: Who is involved, and how migration works in practice.
4️⃣ Is Migration Beneficial for #Africa?: Looking at both challenges and opportunities.
5️⃣ Legacy Media Reporting: How traditional #media covers migration.
6️⃣ Social Media and #AI: How new tools are changing the way migration is reported.

The content draws on @_AfricanUnion migration frameworks, international conventions, and research. The goal is to help communicators share clear, accurate, and fair stories about migration.

If you report on migration or communicate about it, this manual is a practical guide to understanding the real story behind the headlines.

Download, read it, practice it, and share it: https://t.co/Z8KZ9PF0Ze

In my next reflection, I examine an example of international cooperation in a far flung period in Pre and post-Colonial Africa.

These reflections by Dr. Adebayo Olowo-Ake on whether or not Pre-Colonial African States actively played in the diplomatic space of that era and what that space looked like is informative.

Please find the link to a new paper I have authored, published by the @WorldBank Africa Growth and Opportunity Research in Action (AGORA) Series, entitled „African Trade and Investment for Global Resilience“. It is based on my 2025 Mattei Lecture in Italy and argues that Africa can anchor a new model of growth and simultaneously bolster global resilience by moving to more value added production and deeper integration into regional and global trade and investment networks. @IndermitGill

Our educational system is divorced from the needs of industry and commerce -- Prof Olusegun Ajibola at the ongoing Policy Dialogue on Education in VI Lagos.

Nigeria's current educational system has its roots in the desire of the colonial regime to train interpreters to help the colonial administration run smoothly-- Prof Joseph Olusegun Ajibola at the ongoing Policy Dialogue on Education in Victoria Island Lagos.
