Towards Africa's Second Liberation

I find it quite intriguing that the independence of Africa from colonial domination began in northern African countries that achieved their independence in the 1950s. With the exception of Ghana that achieved its independence in 1957, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa achieved their independence in the 1960s. I find it quite intriguing that current events in northern Africa may be a portent for the second liberation of the continent from post-independence dictatorship. This assessment rejects the claim that there has been so-called second liberation of Africa in the 1990s. But that is a different matter.
