Leadership, ethics, and Africa's role in global security were among the topics discussed when nearly 60 professionals from 40 African nations met for the opening of the Next Generation of African Security Sector Leaders (NextGen) course October 21, 2013, just outside of Washington, D.C. The three-week program is conducted by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies (ACSS) and runs through November 8.

Mr. Michael Garrison, acting Director of the Africa Center, stressed that one of most important aspects of the program is candid discussion among the dozens of participants.

"We will not provide you answers," he said. "We will provide you issues for you to discuss. You will provide the answers. Africa is yours, not ours. Africa's challenges need to be solved by African leaders."
