Decolonisation of Africa

By -
The decolonisation of Africa was a series of political developments in Africa that spanned from the mid-1950s to 1975, during the Cold War. Colonial governments gave way to sovereign states in a process often marred by violence, political turmoil, widespread unrest, and organised revolts. Major events in the decolonisation of Africa included the Mau Mau rebellion, the Algerian War, the Congo Crisis, the Angolan War of Independence, the Zanzibar Revolution, and the events leading to the Nigerian Civil War.[1][2][3][4][5] Scramble for Africa: Africa in the years 1880 and 1913, just before the First World War The Scramble for Africa between 1870 and 1914 was a significant period of European imperialism in Africa that ended with almost all of Africa, and its natural resources, claimed as colonies by European powers, who raced to secure as much land as possible while avoiding conflict amongst themselves.

London Fashion Week’s Resilience And Creative Evolution Amid Adversity

By -
“These are challenging times for British fashion,” said Caroline Rush, the British Fashion Council’s (BFC) outgoing CEO, during London Fashion Week’s opening event on February 21. “Although we’d prefer the landscape to be different, one thing I know is that this community is resilient and creativity is heightened further when facing adversity.” It was a somber yet hopeful start to what was a shortened version of the biannual event, haunted by the ghosts of absent regulars yet uplifted by creative up-and-comers that have taken their place. It’s no secret by now that participating in a fashion week is a costly venture. Though a select number of designers under the BFC’s NewGen initiative receive financial aid, and therefore take up many of the runway slots, others rely on sponsorships or must otherwise reconsider their priorities–whether that is to move to the more abundantly platformed Milan or Paris, or to skip out on shows altogether.

Analysis of Colonialism and Its Impact in Africa (Pt1)

*PROJECT TITLE* Analysis of Colonialism and Its Impact in Africa * ABSTRACT * The work took a hard and critical look on the impact of colonialism and its concomitant ally, imperialism on the African state. The analysis revealed that the present primary role of African states in the international world economy as the dominant sources of raw materials and major consumers of manufactured products are the results of long years of colonial dominance, exploitation and imperialism.

The work also made a startling stark revelation by discovering through analysis that the deep-seated corruption in most African states and the selfish behaviour of some of the politic...
