In 1884, fourteen European powers met in Berlin and divided Africa among themselves. Not a single African voice was in the room. Today, China controls the mines, Russia is selling security to coup leaders, Turkey is taking over French military bases, and the Gulf states are funding opposite sides of the same war. The new scramble is here. On this episode of Learning Africa, we ask the question the original scramble never had to answer: can Africans win this time?
