The aftermath of the Ukraine war might stoke unrest in Africa, according to the IMF.
According to the research, the conflict slowed growth in the second half of 2021 as countries dealt with the effects of the Covid-19 epidemic, deteriorating security in numerous countries, and climate-related shocks.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that a potential food crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa might fuel social upheaval.
The fund has lowered its growth forecast for the region to 3.8 percent from 4.5 percent previously.
The IMF says the war in Ukraine has caused "a substantial spike in energy and food costs, which might threaten food security in the region, boost poverty rates, exacerbate income inequality, and potentially contribute to social unrest," according to its 2018 economic outlook.
According to the research, the conflict slowed growth in the second half of 2021 as countries dealt with the effects of the Covid-19 epidemic, deteriorating security in numerous countries, and climate-related shocks.
According to the IMF, long-term growth will necessitate:
Economic diversification for commodity-exporting countries; private-sector development stimulation through regional trade integration; and solving climate-change challenges
