Machiavellianism put to the test of African state sovereignty

The countries of the African continent, like Renaissance Italy, lack autonomy. This lack of sovereignty is maintained by the inconsistency of the continent's rulers, who do not hesitate to hand over their countries to the political, economic and military imperialism of foreign powers. In today's Africa, we are witnessing a form of neo-colonialism, as our nations are constantly confronted with interference by foreign powers in our internal affairs. So, for having conspired against the invasion of his country, and his dream of a united Italian society in which all citizens would take part in achieving national progress, African states can find in Machiavelli an ally. The paraphernalia of Machiavelli's conception of state sovereignty, governed by the need to defend the autonomy of the homeland by all means, can be a propaedeutic to the acquisition of political, economic and military independence for our countries. In his view, state sovereignty is the keystone of all progress.
