Ayika: Journal of Environment and Politics in Africa continues to prove to be Africa’s leading platform for the discourse of environmental and political dynamics in the continent. This is attested to by the highquality articles published in successive issues of the journal since its inception. As a journal, it also continues to demonstrate the extricate linkage between the dynamics of the environment and politics. This is to the extent, that issues and challenges in one area affect the other.

Hence, in a nuanced manner, environmental dynamics continue to be one of the leading drivers of political crisis in Africa
