Great to have been invited to participate such incredible forum organized by Asia-Africa Center at Seoul National University in South Korea.

Also, the discussions covered the changing political dynamics of the Horn of Africa, the role Somaliland plays in securing waters of the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, and Somaliland’s strategic importance in an era of emerging New Cold War.

The U.S. Congressional Staff Delegation visited the University of Hargeisa. The delegation had an academic discussion with the university community about Somaliland education and the role it played in state and peace-building processes.

Weighing the pros and cons of the African state’s foreign policy, we conclude that the swing foreign strategies of the African states greatly affected Africa politically, socially, and economically.

The lecture highlighted the major determinants of Africa’s foreign policy from the Cold War era which is the period when the African continent was caught between the competition of the US and the USSR, to unipolar, & to an age of emerging multipolar world order.

We are honored to have the opportunity of inviting Dr. Adeoye O. Akinola (Ph.D) as our guest speaker. Dr. Akinola from the Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation (IPTC) at the University of Johannesburg in South Africa talked about an interesting and timely topic.

Selected students will be offered a scholarship grant that covers their subsistence and research needs during the course of training. For further details please visit: instituteforpeace.org/event-detail.p…
