African trade & investment wars & their implications for IEL study are under-appreciated. Even more alarming is that the AfCFTA analyses has not centered this imp. dimension enough. In this brief essay, Gertrude Amarh & I reflect on trade wars in Africa⬇️

The narrative that coups are bad in #Africa misses the point. Civilians who entrench themselves in power at all cost not only embolden d likelihood of coups but also make the plotters a desirable alternative for citizens. #Gabon2023 Elected leaders must leave after their tenure.

Folks, @afronomicslaw is your community, it is our community. It is open access, it has thrived on this spirit, of centering narratives that are often marginalized. Together, in the spirit of inclusion and diversity, from Global South to the world, #Afronomicslaw . Thanks, Amanda.
