Decades after the European powers carved up the African continent for their own imperial needs, Africa is undergoing a new wave of resource and strategic exploitation – some are calling it the new scramble for Africa.

The United States is increasing its footprint across Africa with AFRICOM, fighting terrorism and ensuring stability are the trumpeted motivations. Resource security is a more hushed objective.But it is not just about the US.

During the last decade, China's trade with Africa not only caught up with America's, it has more than doubled it.The new battle for Africa does not deploy strong-arm tactics, it is now a soft power game: economic and humanitarian aid, interest-free loans, preferential trade agreements and investments in infrastructure are currency across a continent that is, for the world's established and emerging powers, seemingly up for grabs.

India, Brazil and Russia are all invested in Africa's present and future, and old imperial powers like France are fixing to retain their loosening grip on the riches of former colonies.So what does all this mean for Africa and Africans?Empire travels to Kenya to examine the continent at the centre of the world as it is courted, cajoled and carved up by global powers to its East and West.

A jovial man, musician, God fearing, a man of the people, one of Africa's great leaders...the list can go on and on for the first president of Zambia. At 89 years old now, Kenneth Kaunda is one of the living legends in Africa.

Usman Shehu, Desk Editor, Africa at Deutsche Welle talks about the ethnic cleansing and systemic discrimination against Fulani Herdsmen in the Middle Belt of Nigeria. He also spoke on the Mabilla attacks on Fulani people which he described as a genocidal.

From its source on the Angolan-Zambian border to its delta in Mozambique, the Zambezi river flows through a number of distinct and beautiful habitats on its 1,600-mile journey to the Indian ocean.Follow the river as it tumbles, meanders and winds to the spectacular Victoria falls, and wonder at the immense ecosystems that are superbly adapted to its many moods.
