					<description><![CDATA[Abstract The recurrent xenophobic violence in South Africa is conventionally explained either as the moral failing of a particular society or as a problem of border control. This article advances a different argument: that the violence is the visible downstream symptom of a two-sided failure of economic policy across the African continent.

					<description><![CDATA[Introduction: The question Africa keeps asking. One of the greatest paradoxes of modern Africa is that it remains one of the most resource-rich regions in the world, yet it contains some of the world&#8217;s poorest economies. The continent possesses vast mineral reserves, fertile agricultural land, energy resources, and a youthful population. Yet despite this abundance, [&#8230;]]]></description>

Rival fans celebrated every dropped point as though it were a trophy. Every setback became evidence that Arsenal would never rise again. Every transfer decision was questioned.

Increasingly, many Africans are questioning whether the liberal democratic model promoted by Western powers since the 1990s has genuinely delivered economic transformation, political stability, and institutional strength on the continent.

The government allocates a significant portion of its budget to fertiliser subsidies, political campaigns often focus on maize, and public policies are primarily designed to support subsistence farming.
