Africa is a continent blessed with a teeming youthful population. In recent times, we have

witnessed a wave of political consciousness sweep across Africa - from Nigeria to Uganda to

Congo- with the youth being at the forefront of this demand for political change. The last time

the continent uniformly witnessed this wave of consciousness and activism was during the

nationalist fight for independence from the colonialists. This time, the two factions that exist are

internal – the younger generation vs. the older generation's government.
