The changes taking place on an international scale on the basis of the constant evolution of quantitative data, give rise to classification tables of the most powerful nations in the world in all areas, while establishing new configurations of leadership.
As time evolves, new choices are necessary for a more equitable management of the problems of a world in perpetual turbulence in order to further translate into action the need for a multipolarity which perfectly responds to the ideals of liberal democracy praised in particular by the early superpowers.
If while the United Nations Organization was created in October 1945 a large majority of African countries were still dormant or stereotyped in colonial domination, the time of black subhumans is a bygone era which no longer corresponds to current challenges and trends which, since the beginning of the second millennium AD in particular, have constantly campaigned in favour of greater representation of the African continent in the United Nations Security Council.
The configuration of global power: a story of superpowers
The configuration of world power as we currently observe it established around five main powers, was strongly influenced by the two great wars. If at the end of the first the great powers of the time were China represented by Taiwan, France, Great Britain, Italy and Japan without taking into account the United States which largely contributed to the creation of the League of Nations (SDN ) but who ultimately did not formalize their membership in this organization because the American president of the time, namely Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924), was blocked in his progress by the refusal of the Senate to ratify his proposal for membership, the second configuration established at the end of the Second World War and which made the UNO Security Council the most influential body of the organization with 15 members currently including 5 permanent members who in addition to being the big winners of the Second Great War, notably the United States, France, the United Kingdom and the former USSR which became Russia, also represented more than 50% of the world's population alone, taking into account the colonial empires and the fifth permanent member namely the People's Republic of China particularly after the victory of the Communists or Maoists during the Chinese Civil War (1945-1949) against the nationalists led by Chiang KAI -Check and the adoption of the resolution which made the People's Republic of China a member of the United Nations Organization in October 1971 and de facto permanent member of the security council in place of the Republic of China represented by Taiwan since 1950 after the creation of the UNO and on the international scene since 1920 with the creation of the League of Nations.

Power was therefore and still is evaluated in terms of economic, military and demographic power in addition to today also taking into account maritime, digital, renewable energy and technological factors. We therefore wonder what Africa's place could be among the largest when apart from demographic growth which is an asset for economic growth, the continent has a strong energy deficit, weak economies and very dependent on the great powers in addition to recurring wars and armed conflicts in the African sub-region. From an economic point of view while taking into account economic potential and the transformation of this potential into wealth, African countries do not represent much compared to the largest economies in the world even if we take Africa as a country having within it several States which have experienced economic growth in recent years. Even taking into account this detail of a State-Continent which is futile for some but which makes sense for others from the point of view of a colonial experience common to almost all the States of the African continent, Africa or better the African economy still represents nothing compared to that countries like China, France, the United States, the United Kingdom and Russia which are among the largest providers of funds and which have mostly made it a habit to organize State-Continent summits which push for wondering if the African continent is a country while sufficiently demonstrating that these great powers are able to contribute greatly to the development of African countries while maintaining their hegemony in a world full of opportunities where rivalries between great powers in Africa in particular are multiple.
