By Olakunle Agboola - One of the major problems tormenting the continent is the unstable and opaque political environment.

Ambassador Aurelia Erskine Brazeal was a career diplomat and the first black woman to be named ambassador by three Presidents. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush appointed her ambassador to the Federated States of Micronesia. Three years later President Bill Clinton named her ambassador to Kenya. In 2002, President George W. Bush appointed Brazeal U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia.
Brazeal, born in 1943 in Chicago, Illinois, earned her Bachelor’s degree at Spelman College (1965), her Master’s degree in International Affairs at Columbia University in New York (1967), and did a post-graduate study at Harvard University in Massachusetts. In 1968, her career as a U.S. diplomat began when she joined the U.S. Foreign Service. She was first assigned as an economic officer in the Economic Bureau at the Department of State. In this capacity, she played a critical role as a member of a team of State Department officers in the U.S. who were tasked with developing ideas to help expand the free market economy and democracy in Latin America and Southeast Asia during the Cold War era.
Her first overseas appointment came when she was assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina (1969-71) as a Consular and Economic Officer. She returned to Washington, D.C. to serve in the State Department’s Economic Bureau (1971-72) and later as Economic Reports Officer for the Department of State Operations Center (1973-74). She served in the U.S. Embassies in Uruguay and Paraguay (1974-77) and as a Trade Officer in the embassy in Tokyo, Japan from 1979 to 1982. She returned to the State Department in 1982 and two years later became Deputy Director for Economics, serving there from 1984 to 1986. After a two year stint (1986-1987) in the Foreign Service Institute in Arlington, Virginia as a Senior Seminar member, Brazeal was back at the Tokyo Embassy from 1987 to 1990.
In 1990 Brazeal became the first U.S. Ambassador to the Federated States of Micronesia. Serving in the immediate post-Cold War years, Ambassador Brazeal succeeded

Decolonization (US) or decolonisation (UK) is the undoing of colonialism: where a nation establishes and maintains its domination over dependent territories. The Oxford English Dictionary defines decolonization as the withdrawal from its colonies of a colonial power; the acquisition of political or economic independence by such colonies.[1] The term refers particularly to the dismantlement, in the years after World War II, of the colonial empires established prior to World War I throughout the world. However, decolonization not only refers to the complete removal of the domination of non-indigenous forces within the geographical space and different institutions of the colonized, but it also refers to the decolonizing of the mind from the colonizers ideas that made the colonized feel inferior.[2]
The United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization has stated that in the process of decolonization there is no alternative to the colonizer allowing a process of self-determination,[3] but in practice decolonization may involve either nonviolent revolution or national liberation wars by pro-independence groups. It may be intramural or involve the intervention of foreign powers acting individually or through international bodies such as the United Nations. Although examples of decolonization can be found as early as the writings of Thucydides, there have been several particularly active periods of decolonization in modern times. These include the breakup of the Spanish Empire in the 19th century; of the German, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman, and Russian Empires following World War I; of the British, French, Dutch, Japanese, Portuguese, Belgian and Italian colonial empires following World War II; and of the Soviet Union (successor to the Russian Empire)[4] following the October Revolution.
Methods and stages [ edit ]
Decolonization is a political process and vital internalization of the rejection of colonialist mindsets and norms. In extreme circumstances, there is a war of independence, sometimes following a
