ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

African Century

Hello little one! Today, I am going to explain to you about the "African Century". It's like a special time for Africa.

Many people think that Africa is a very poor place, but that is not true. Africa is very rich in many things like minerals, wildlife, natural resources, and cultures. In this century, Africa wants to become even richer and better by making use of all of these resources in a positive way.

During this century, African leaders want to work together to make their continent a better place. They want to create more jobs for people, build better homes, provide good health care, and give good education to both boys and girls.

These leaders also want to make sure that everyone in Africa has equal rights and that there is peace in every country. They want to make sure that their people have a say in how their countries are run, and they want to create a good environment for businesses to grow.

In summary, the "African Century" is a time when African nations are working towards becoming stronger and more prosperous by the efficient use of their resources, promoting good governance, and creating equal opportunities for everyone.
