Babatunde Oyateru, Head of Communication and External Affairs at Shelter Afrique. It would appear an odd moment to make a case for multilateralism, at a time of Covid vaccine nationalism and Brexit unilateralism, but Africa, on the other hand, is embracing it. On 1 January, 2021, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) went into effect.

In many areas, such as security, immigration and education, African countries have often been keen to cooperate, rooted in the in-group feelings created by a shared colonial legacy.
