Training African cyberstrategists: an imperative!
Without a generation of strategists trained to think cyberspace, Africa will remain a spectator of global digital power dynamics.
The literature on cyberstrategy is growing, but Africans are notably absent from it. Time to fix that.

Cyberstrategy has become a new pillar of classical strategy, alongside land, sea, air and space. Its genealogy remains dominated by Western and Asian powers.
This African absence is not merely academic: it deprives the continent of a conceptual framework suited to its own threats, resources and ambitions.
Developing an African cyberstrategy means producing an endogenous corpus rather than importing doctrines designed for other realities.

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.
