After decades of marginalization, Africa has gained in strategic relevance in recent years. The abundance of natural resources, the proliferation of Muslim extremist groups, and the increasing South-North migration have prompted external powers to re-engage in Africa. Warnings of an upcoming Sino-American geopolitical confrontation in Africa seem premature. Both the external powers and the African countries have a role to play in making sure that the growing inflows of aid and investment become a force for economic growth and political stability in Africa.
