What u think about the United States of Africa? Share your thought...

Just recently at the African Union Summit in Ethiopia, Libyan Leader Colonel Kaddafi and other leaders brought back to the podium the idea of forming the United States of Africa. This idea was first propounded by the likes of Nkrumah, Lumumba, Tubman, Sekou Toure et al, during the era of the Organization of African Unity (OAU).

I want to congratulate the Libyan leader for his ascendancy to the leadership of the African Union and his bold vision of re-articulating the dream of having a United States of Africa. This dream is overdue and it is time that we work with the Libyan leader and other well meaning Africans to see this dream come true. Here are few points i will like to state here as a way forward:

- that membership into the Union be voluntary;
- that the capital city of the union be Johanesburg, South Africa if they decide to be a member;
- that the governance structure of the Union be based on sound democratic principle within the
framework of the federal system;
- that the model of the United State of America be a stepping stone in the right direction;
- that a serious publicity be launched globally to encourage African governments and Africans to accept this idea;
- that debates be held around the continent and the diaspora for detail resolution in achieving this monumental dream.

Such union will unite Africa and bring economic growth to the dark continent of the world. It will also enhance democratic values throughout the continent. It is time that we debate this concept and at the end come up with the best proposal to push our continent forward.

I hope the Libyan leader will try to form a coalition of Africans ( be it poor, middle class or rich ) in achieving this goal. The world is looking and it is time for a change for a better tomorrow on the dark continent of Africa.

you got too much time on your hands.

Sounds good but implementation

great idea

but there should be NO president or prime minister

only a parlaiment

black Africa should be extra careful though

u know what I mean

..Sounds good, you can be right here in Liberia and consider it residing in the USA! All the other presidents will be reduced to the title "governors".
Hope it comes to pass soon!

well Kwame Nkrumah, President Tubman and a lot of others thought bout this idea before. its a great one but like Josie said, i question the implementation. many of our leaders today love their power too much to give it up so we can keep dreaming bout it.

flo, what's up? hope u holding up o!
