    I liked the question about the diaspora not being taxed and being able to register an business in Africa from the outside. I hope these ideas were brought forward.

    Africa for Africans - inter continental trade is very important , Period.
    One currency for Africa will be essential next, and border administration next.
    Our foreign policy on travel, trade , communication and business etc will be addressed by Africans . No foreign Aid is needed ( exception considered )
    People of potential credibility and action - on position to act ( no talk but action )
    African language for communication will be decided...
    Foreign investment at our own terms ( preview for a certain period for inspection )
    AU 2063 projects enforced - and accountability , and government hold responsible..

    Yes, you have a lot of work to do, but you have to prove that you have laid down your arms and started working, that is, show the whole planet that you want to make peace in Africa and stop making war. The more planets there are, the more you will make peace, the more you will gain and the more you will lose nothing and you will gain much more than you had, but you must make peace throughout Africa as long as you make peace. you have to win in full

    Africa must remove all those borders that separate and interact as one Africa convenient also Africa must shake off colonial thinking and attitudes because this did not benefit Africa or any other black people on the earth.

      But you know we can suffiently manage and Unite Africa Even without removing borders , the power of this segregated problem is not in the physical boarders but the mental boarders that were created by colonisation. You feel me ?? I mean removing boarders won't change the hate , discrimination , etc we Africans hidingly have for eachother.
      And also it will cost us unnecessary money to remove the boarders. I'm not even mentioning the other diffictiies well face with doing this
      The problem is not in accepting that we are linguistically , ideologically culturally different at this time in life but in fooling oursleves that we are the same. Even back in the day African tribes were different and had boaders to mark their kingdom
      Our goal should be to understand our origin and move foward together in love
      Which Will be veeeery difficult to restore the mindset and form the vision but it's possible

      Yoruba and tye koi Sam were different
      The only difference now is that we are countries and not tribes.
