Africa can become a cyber power!

Power is no longer measured only in territory or armies, but in the ability to project influence in immaterial spaces. Cyberspace lowers some historical barriers to entry.

Becoming a cyber power requires political will, industrial capacity and a doctrine. The window is open; it will not stay open indefinitely.
