In most of the articles presented in this issue of Afrika Focus we see hopeful mes- sages about the African continent. In “Arab Spring in Morocco: Social Media and the 20 February Movement”, Brouwer & Bartels explore the ways in which the offline and online worlds interconnected in order to create new forms of meaning-making during the Arab Spring. Also our second article “Modernisation néolibérale et transformation du pro l des dirigeants des entreprises publiques au Maroc. Cas de la Caisse de Dépôt et de Gestion (CDG): 1959-2009” talks about Morocco, by investigating the extent to which the directors of public enterprises underwent transformations under the heading of neoliberal modernization processes. In his article “Depoliticised Ethnicity in Tanzania: A Structural and Historical Narrative” Malipula gives the history and the rationale behind the fact that Tanzania is not characterized by politicized ethnicity, which tends to lead to cleavages and tension in a lot of other African societies. Finally, Celis et al. “Characteristics of participants in an HIV prevention intervention for youth in Rwanda: results from a longitudinal study” picture a hopeful image of HIV prevention campaigns in Rwanda by describing the ways in which participation in these interventions could be increased, mainly amongst young people.Downloads
