Africa is not a blank slate. It is a thinking continent.
We live at a time when Africa possesses more data, research, historical hindsight, and youth-driven potential than ever before. Yet our public discourse often defaults to borrowed models, externally driven prescriptions, or politicized narratives that fail to fully engage the depth of our reality.
Arguments for Africa is a space for critical thought and self-determined ideas—a blog born from the belief that Africa must not only gather data but interpret it through lenses forged by its own people. We believe that thoughtful critique is not cynicism—it is care. And accountability is not opposition—it is the soul of transformation.
Our mission is simple:
To ask better questions, challenge lazy assumptions, and bring forward arguments—grounded in evidence and historical context—that speak to the future Africa must build for itself.
