African Unity often feels like a Halloween ghost—present yet elusive. The quest for unity across the African continent remains an unfulfilled promise. It echoes the sentiment that African independence cannot be truly realized without a united front. Many leaders throughout history have stressed this importance, yet the continent struggles to find a cohesive identity.
Despite the aspirations voiced in independence declarations, the reality is stark. Various nations grapple with internal conflicts and external pressures that inhibit true solidarity. The vision of a unified Africa stands in stark contrast to the challenges we face today. It’s time we reassess our goals and work towards establishing stronger ties.
