Analysis of the creation United States of Africa

Résumé du document

The United States of Africa is a project that has been raising issues for decades. Indeed, many international actors, activists groups, countries and other companies are concerned about the unity of an African people formed as a strong and powerful continent. It is true that many key topics are addressed by this union at an International level but also at a regional one. Geopolitics, Economy, Health, Finance, Military, Raw material and many others are deeply concerned and will consequently deeply mutate from this new organization. Regarding the interests of the different actors that play a part in Africa, opinions are shared. Some sees it as a threat and others as a huge opportunity. Not only has the new world order that could generate the creation of such a powerful organization animated us to realize this investigation, but also another aspect. We did not understand why an organization which is so full of opportunities for the African people is not already created and organized. Africa is one of the biggest continents with almost 30,000,000 square kilometers of territory (it is as large as the USA, Europe, India and China altogether). Its population of nearly 1 billion is diverse and has many ethnic groups or tribes. The major ethnic groups are Berbers and other traditionally nomadic peoples, such as the Arabs who live in the North and Bantu in the central and southern regions. 8 millions Europeans and Asians also live there.

Extraits

[...] Some political leaders like the Libya's colonel Muammar Gaddafi raised the idea of an African Union. He believed that this project was tom much modeled on the European Union. He has the support from several small countries, like Togo and Burkina Faso, who have benefited from financial aid from Lybia.

[...] The hand that holds the great tourism in the economies of Europe and U.S. clearly shows its importance. Political stability of governments depends on the improvement of tourism. Tourists come if they feel safe. Moreover, Africa is full of a huge tourism potential: Nature lush, low purchasing power of external countries, bordered by several seas and oceans, climate (sun). In the same development perspective, the African media becomes paramount. Indeed, Africans regularly use international channels to get information on the African continent and the world in general.

[...] To unify Africa will be quite difficult if human rights, democratic governance, large education, property rights and free market rules are not respected. -Examples of political conflicts: Today, there are numerous examples of conflicts in Africa. There are several hot spots in Africa and other potential. If we look at the source of those tensions, they have all the same origin: the unconstitutional changes. In fact, most of the African constitutions are unsuited to Africa. In Mali, episodes of severe reactions to the “Touareg” rebellion alternated with attempts to promote negotiations to resolve the crisis. [...]

[...] In fact, traditional beliefs make unique each ethnic group throughout the African society. Beside the religions problems, as a result of the recent colonialism, the African population speaks different languages and dialects spoken in Africa are barriers to the creation of the United States of Africa. It's very hard for the African country to communicate to each other because in Africa, people speak Arabic, English, French, Portuguese or other African languages. That's why it would be very difficult to choose an African language rather than another In Practice, translation of documents of the AU is made into the four current “working” languages. [...]
