  • Africa's Soft Power : Philosophies, Political Values, Foreign Policies and Cultural Exports / Oluwaseun Tella
    “This seven-chapter book is a powerful testimonial to consummate African scholarship. Its analysis is rigorous, insightful, lucid and authoritative, providing fresh perspectives on selected uniquely African philosophies, and the potential­ ities, deployment and limitations of soft power in Africa’s international relations. The author rigorously Africanises the concept, broadening its analytic scope from its biased Western methodology, thus brilliantly fulfilling that great African pro­ verb made famous by the inimitable Chinua Achebe: ‘that until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter’. This is truly an intellectual tour de force.” W. Alade Fawole, Professor of International Relations, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. “This book addresses an important tool in the arsenal of foreign policy from an African perspective. African states have significant soft power capacities, although soft power is not always appreciated as a lever of influence, or fully integrated into countries’ foreign policy strategies. Tella takes Nye’s original concept and Africanises it, discussing Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa via their respective philosophies of Pharaonism, Harambee, Omolúwàbí and Ubuntu. This study is a critical contribution to the literature on African foreign policies and how to use soft power to greater effect in building African agency on the global stage.” Elizabeth Sidiropoulos, Chief Executive, South African Institute of International Affairs, Johannesburg, South Africa. “Soft power is seldom associated with African states, given decades bedevilled by coup d’états, brazen dictatorships and misrule. This ground-breaking book is certainly a tour de force in conceptualising soft power in the African context.

  • Music Stars Can Be Role Models for Young People on HIV
    PRESS RELEASE 09 Music stars can be role models for young people on HIV NAIROBI, 9 October 2009 – Music stars participating at the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMAs) ceremony, being held tomorrow in Nairobi, Kenya, can have a significant impact in educating young people about HIV and changing their behaviour, according to UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé. The event will be aired worldwide with an estimated TV audience of 1 billion viewers. Today, young people aged 15 to 24 account for 45% of new HIV infections worldwide. Many of them lack basic knowledge about HIV prevention. Data from 64 countries indicate that only 40% of males and 38% of females aged 15 to 24 had accurate and comprehensive knowledge about HIV and how to avoid transmission. “UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has encouraged UNAIDS to keep the leaders of tomorrow healthy today,” said Mr Sidibé. "The music stars at MTV Africa Music Awards can help fast-track awareness about HIV into the hearts and minds of African youth.” Mr Sidibé congratulated Bill Roedy, Chairman & Chief Executive of MTV Networks International and the former Chair of the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, for his commitment to engaging the media in the AIDS response. “Through our close partnership with MTV over the years, we have used innovative communication tools to educate young people about HIV and help break the cycle of stigma and discrimination associated with AIDS,” said Mr Sidibé. He will be represented at the MAMAs by Dr Djibril Diallo, his Senior Advisor. In 1998, UNAIDS partnered with MTV to launch the award-winning Staying Alive campaign (www.staying-alive.org).
