The War for Africa: Conflict, Crime, Corruption and Foreign Interests’ is a hard-hitting account of the undeclared and invisible conflicts and wars that go almost unnoticed in the daily mainstream media. The impact of these economic, military, and political conflicts on the continent and its people is devastating.

This book offers a personal, yet disturbing and behind-the-scenes glimpse of much of what has gone wrong, and of what is happening across the continent. It covers the personal experiences of the author over two decades, firstly as an individual, and later as the chairman of STTEP International Ltd.

The author gives his personal views on the impact of fragile politics and policies, conflict, criminality, deceit, and lies that have, and still are, contributing to the on-going conflicts and wars the continent is waging against itself. Invariably, these problems are incentivised and motivated by nefarious foreign interests―especially in resource-rich countries.
