Addis Ababa, 31ST January 2010 - "2010 will be a year of many challenges. While in the past few years, the number of violent conflicts has been significantly reduced, thanks to the collective determination and efforts of Africa, far too many African countries remain trapped in a vicious cycle of conflict with its attendant deadly consequences. Armed conflicts in Africa kill thousands of people every year; create humanitarian disasters; wipe out livelihoods of ordinary people; and make sustainable economic development impossible. There is also a more profound loss: the destruction of hope for a better future".
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 31 January 2010- It was a memorable day for African scientists today when, for the first time, through the AU, Africa expressed its gratitude to science by awarding two African scientists with awards for excellence.
