Global warfare would compel Africans to take seriously, the challenge of security. In these times of cyber and nuclear threats, the stakes are much higher.

In truth, security is an aspect where any nation-combatant in a world war can subdue African countries.
Take, for instance, the US. That country’s defence budget from 2018 is about one-third of the entire African GDP in monetary terms from that same year.
