Deeq A. Posted January 8, 2022 The extractive industries led by the oil and gas will continue to dominate events in the continent, as was always the case, over the centuries. Minerals that would be needed much in the future such as cobalt, nickel, manganese, copper, coltan, rare earths and even sand, will dominate and the competition for these products will only exasperate the continent, as it is, fortunately or unfortunately, endowed with all these riches, which the world needs. The search and hence competition for oil and gas industries have now reached the Horn of Africa, and the East and Central Africa regions. It has already led to a suffering of the populations over the past three decades and this is not expected to slow down, but to increase and weigh down on the affected regions. New conflicts in regions that were thought to be stable has now cracked and splintered. Ethiopia is one such country. Other than Somali troubles, the country enjoyed, relatively a peaceful environment throughout the past century, but it is being tipped over and the year 2022 does not hold well for Ethiopia, according to many.
