While I certainly think debaters should take some time off between seasons I think it would be great to start reading up on Africa and trying to read any articles regarding Africa over the summer. Here are some preliminary links that I think would be helpful:

Wikipedia – Africa
BBC News – Africa
Africa Action

Please post any additional links you have come across in the comments section!
