Training African cyberstrategists: an imperative!

Technical cybersecurity is not enough. Protecting systems without understanding the intentions, doctrines and power relations that structure cyberspace is like patching breaches without reading the map of the conflict.

Africa trains engineers, rarely strategists. Yet political decision-making, international negotiation and long-term planning demand an endogenous strategic mindset, rooted in the continent's realities.

Building this talent pool requires dedicated curricula, active think tanks and continuous doctrinal output. It is the condition for moving from a user to an actor of cyberspace.
