Abstract
Africa's experiences from all known historical and sociological epochs/ moments to human kind had culminated in the continent being relegated to the back waters of global politics and relations. Historical traditions in the continent confirmed the fact that Africa had remained attractive and fascinated to several waves of foreign intruders that wanted to part take in the natural resources of the continent. These waves of foreign intruders took turns in their visits and leaving an indelible mark on the sand of history of the continent. Tie contact by the continent with these waves of foreign intruders; Africa's journey and incorporation the international system commenced. At the dawn of the 15th century that ushered in the global expansion of European thoughts, civilization and capitalism, Europe became a dominant force in the international system; other regions being incorporated into global system. From her experiences, Europe, from the dawn of the current international system (state system), where the core values of states became cornerstone of stare relations, there is the cut throat competition amongst states/ non states actors in the protection and projections of the core values (national interest). The competition amongst states had made international system a "survival of the fittest might is always right", thus, leaving weaker states at the mercy of powerful states. Weaker states in the global system had been made to endure political, economic and social miseries as exemplified in the post 9/11 International system. Modern conflicts had left the system fractionalize dislocated. The dislocation is most visible and felt in third world states/Countries (countries without power). The dislocations of most third world states had necessitated a pertinent question - what hope is there for Africa in the toxic haze that had enveloped global politics and relations. The attempts at proffering answers to question led the paper to several conclusions thus the recommendations canvassed herein.
