Africa and the Africans

What is Africa and who are the Africans? Generally stating, Africa is a continent, and Africans are the people who leave or can trace their ancestry to the African continent. However, while the meaning of these two words may differe from those who employ them, they have been the focus of inexhaustible number of national and international conferences and debates. Regrettably, earlier answers or debates seem not to have addressed issues surrounding the topic in a manner that would have prevented this blog from emerging. This argument takes its ground on a persistent misconception that still surround what Africa is and who are the Africans. Therefore, The African Barometer invites Africans and anyone involved with the continent, wherever they reside abroad or inside the continent to an enlightening debate to address any past, current, and future issues from any perspective.
