Rome - The conference, "Africa, the continent on the move" is taking place at the Auditorium of Seraphicum in Rome, organized by the Comboni missionaries.
"From colonialism to the emergence of independent states, ethnic conflicts, Western intervention/interference, from the recent entry of new geo-economic, geopolitical and geostrategic powers, to the Arab spring, from the growth of civil society to the role of young Churches.
The great African continent has witnessed, in the last century, an incessant redefinition of the parameters of sovereignty, growth and development. This conference aims to talk about Africa, its problems, the challenges that the great continent has to face, its achievements, the contribution that Africa can give to this world considered now a 'global village'.
An initiative that is part of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the Plan for the Regeneration of Africa of Daniele Comboni, organized by the Comboni Missionaries with the cooperation of the Comboni Missionary Sisters.
