African Development: The long path!

It's becoming very glaring the extent to which internal conflict and insurgency would barrier the growth of the African continent. In recent years, we have witnessed sharp emergence of #Islamist groups around countries in Africa including #Nigeria, #Kenya, #Sudan, Congo DR. This has occurred in a time when Africans are talking possible ways out of internal conflict which had taken critical toll around the continent, to mold foundational pillars to development

The very fact that these insurgent is perpetrated by Africans themselves raises queries that bugs the mind. Why should it be Africans rising against her very citizens? What political interest would push people to consider insurgency as an alternative to topple powers? 
I thought African people would have keyed into using issue-based and citizen-oriented strategies/advocacy to bring out the needed change. Let is not be that we have been willed into becoming our own enemies.

Fellow African youths, I am seriously bothered by what the future of this great continent would become in the face of dire insecurity and internally generated conflicts, considering the fact that many young Africans have taken initiatives to foster social change and development but can any development strive alongside insurgency?

This is just be one stanza of the whole hymn!
