Abstracts

EN

The article examines the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa on the overall security in African countries, especially in the southern regions of the continent. In the first part, the author discusses the prevalence of the disease in the army and African peace keeping forces, which necessarily weakens their military prowess. The second part is focused on the negative effects of the disease on the economic development and security of various countries. The closing part of the article presents debilitating impact of the disease on women and children, especially in urban settings. The author concludes that the sheer scale of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa must be taken into account in any macro-economic and political analyses of the situations of the countries affected by it.
