What will drive the next wave of Pan-Africanism? Pre-colonial Pan-Africanism was fueled by concerted effort to gain independence from imperial masters. 60 years later, the continent is as divided and fragmented as ever or even worse.
I believe the next wave of Pan-Africanism will be driven by young African entrepreneurs looking for opportunities across markets. Entrepreneurs create businesses which create jobs. We& #39;ll see more demand of skills and mov& #39;t of money across borders organically.
It& #39;s now common to bump on Nigerian software dev in a cafe in the streets of Nairobi or Kenyan dev in Kampala. In 2019, it& #39;s hard to find a startup that& #39;s not launching in at least 2-3 African markets from the onset.
