Preview of the essay: conflicts in africa
When one looks at the continent of Africa, compared to many continents and peoples. It is a continent that has been deeply traumatized, it has been robbed, massacred, degraded discriminated against and brutally exploited, not just once, twice or thrice but successively over generations, and for centuries.

Do commonalities exist between the steps needed to achieve the visions? Differences in steps needed to achieve the visions? What patterns exist? This visioning exercise described above may be focused more broadly or more narrowly, depending on your purpose and the training group. For example, if everyone is from the same region, visioning can focus broadly on the region, or if everyone is from the same organization, it can focus in on a vision for that particular organization.
