The APS is a platform meant to instigate open debate among African public intellectuals of diverse backgrounds on topical issues of peace, security and development in Africa. Conversations about the future of Africa’s Peace and Security continue to reverberate within the corridors of the ALC. Some of these issues have been agreed and disagreed upon. This pursuit is to reimagine Africa’s intergenerational conversation with a cross-section of intellectuals to speak to a continental space. The continental space requests a fresh look, a fresh global space to discuss Africa’s conflicts.
The security agenda in the global sphere places Africa at the centre of global uncertainties. APS aims to speak back at to global powers to advance the continent’s peace, security and development agenda. The APS will harness Africa’s intellectual power, rethinking Africa’s response to its marginalisation on the global stage.
