Africa must act before deep-sea mining becomes a new battleground

As nations vie for control over the ocean floor's riches, the potential for conflict over these resources is growing. This isn't just about environmental concerns or economic gains; it's also about ensuring maritime security and preventing exploitation by foreign entities. Africa's proactive engagement is essential to safeguard its resources and maintain regional stability.
