<chandea@sidwell.edu> I would like to know to what extent (as Mazrui suggests in his article "From slave ship: Africa between marginalization and globalization" http://web.africa.ufl.edu/asq/v2/v2i4a2.htm the end of the Cold War "has helped to initiate the second phase of decolonization in Francophone Africa, although there is a long way to go before real independence for any part of Africa is achieved." Mazrui goes on to point out that the end of the Cold War has led to Africa's marginalization due to the loss of former socialist friends (sources of funding) and the transformation of former members of Warsaw Pact as competitors (and more favoured) for aid and investment from the West.
