Training African cyberstrategists: an imperative!
Without a generation of strategists trained to think cyberspace, Africa will remain a spectator of global digital power dynamics.
Central to modern societies, cyberspace must be the object of in-depth study by Africa.

Cyberspace is not just a network of machines: it is a layered space, combining a physical layer, a logical layer and a semantic layer where representations circulate.
Many African decision-makers see it merely as an IT tool. This impoverished reading prevents anticipating the conflicts and dependencies that form within it.
Understanding cyberspace in all its complexity is the prerequisite for any serious policy of security, development and influence.

Without a generation of strategists trained to think cyberspace, Africa will remain a spectator of global digital power dynamics.

In an interconnected world where technology is a lever of power, Africa stands at a decisive turning point.

Power is a long-debated concept. Applied to cyberspace, it opens an unprecedented strategic window for Africa.
