Having Afreximbank physically present in the Caribbean offers more than financial services; it delivers a sense of institutional belonging and recognition to the Black diaspora.

It’s a rare example of a major African institution making a bold, physical commitment to diaspora inclusion, thus potentially inspiring other c…Read More ]]> 0 fb217a86a89328ebd70fd1c8cf6a8469 https://suculture.com/forums/topic/reconfiguring-africa-a-critical-analysis-of-the-berlin-conference/#post-14652 Thu, 13 Mar 2025 11:10:50 +0000 @africamonetary; @nubian;

The group’s lack of a coherent economic or political strategy has made it challenging to deliver concrete alternatives to Western-dominated systems like the IMF or dollar-based trade networks.
