Beautiful video.I am an African citizen,I hope and wish luck to the leaders of Africa and the African Union.If our union can make progress as the E.U has, it would represent a major change in the quality of life of Africans and the world at large.Just think of how many brilliant people are born in the continent and die without reaching their potential,this not only represents a loss for Africa but for the whole world.I mean think of people like Einstein,Tesla,Bill Gates and many others of how they contributed to their nations success, and look at their tremendous contribution to the whole human race and the world.
As an Indian, I hope India will continue to provide significant support to boost the African Union. It will result in major direct and indirect benefits for India and the rest of the world. Imagine an African Union with a nominal per capita GDP around 10 to 15k USD in the next 2 to 3 generations. It will be a major driver for the global GDP growth and economic stability of the world. I hope for African Union to make improvements in: 1. Robust and ubiquitous Intra-continental supply chain 2. Agricultural self-sufficiency 3. Security 4. Low cost, widely available education (free will just not be sustainable) 5. Low cost, widely available healthcare and diagnostics Finally - Don't do single currency. It will drag the whole union down, and make it fail before it can achieve anything meaningful. It's a BAD idea. Wishing you all the best Africa. You will go on to make great achievements and contributions to the whole world. Stay strong, stay united.
The African Union should take lessons from the flaws of the Euro 💶 Rather than having a single currency for the entire continent, they should focus on having 4 or 5 regional currencies for the continent of Africa. Like a separate currency for North Africa, West Africa, Central Africa, East Africa & Southern Africa. That way they can easily manage the inflation of these regional currencies & it'll be more convenient for the people to use. In Europe, north European countries are cool with having a strong euro but the south European countries don't like that & have constantly been demanding a weaker euro for the south European countries. South European countries generally have weaker economies compared to their northern European neighbors. #CurrenciesForAU #MistakesOfTheEuro
@@legacyfly762 Because that's not how money works. A single currency means that it is affected by the weakness of other African economies, and the wars, and the weak governments, corruption and basically every unrest in the continent. All this impacts the currency and economy as a whole negatively. Which means less development for the continent because promising economies have now been tainted with the struggling ones. So a DIVERSIFIED currency means that African economies and countries that are more stable (like Botswana) can gather investment from both inside and outside the continent, and that can result in the invested countries trickling down their investments, into other African economies.
Hmm 🤔 Actually the current Egyptian consider themselves Middle eastern not African. Just watch your social media posts to know how the Egyptian calling names to African. Bonga, Monkey on the tree, Slaves and many more names. Even they insult, bullying and disrespect the Sudanese people on national TV.
Imagine if Africa union took the same bad decision-making process of naming the currency. Calling it the Afro ? The Euro is the same pronunciation as the Gyro in Greek food. Terrible yet simple .
Great and accurate video. One Small correction. Haiti is a full member state now in the AU. After many years of being an observer state. And there are serious talks with other Caribbean states to join now. Good Day, Sir.
It makes total sense because au is way much bigger than eu. sooner or later, AU can have a new positive changes for its future goal and it can help other countries too.
I'm pretty sure Egypt was the original founding member of the OAU and was aiding all the African colonies in their fight against colonizers plus has been the most powerful nation in the continent since the 50's so I doubt it.
Thanks for your efforts in explaining the AU. I really want to use this video in my class. I noticed that there are English and German subtitles, but I don't have the authority to use google's autotranlation function and generate Chinese subtitles. I wonder where the German version comes from and if I can have the Chinese version. Or maybe, is that allowed for me to upload the Chinese subtitles for this video?

I am so grateful that Africa have a great African Union Headquarter Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to solves their own problems in 2020. Africa needs to solves their own problems in 2020...
55 countries GDP ppp, average of the countries from that indicator, now, the countries do not agree with a borderless AU by the % they are above from their neighbors. They should first center on reducing their huge economic differences and then come together as one to really support each other and grow together. Investors will follow, the whole world will. When? It is up to them.
The impact of the AU on the lives of ordinary Africans has been so limited. One of the key challenges faced by the AU is the lack of free movement of people within the continent. Many African countries require visas for Africans to enter their territories, making it difficult for Africans to travel and do business within the continent. Moreover, the cost of travel within the continent is often prohibitively expensive, with airfare prices being significantly higher than those for traveling to Europe or Asia. This makes it difficult for Africans to explore other parts of the continent or to engage in economic activities with their neighboring countries. To achieve unity among African countries, it is imperative to address these challenges. Improving education and movement within the continent will help to connect people and build a sense of community among Africans. This will not only promote economic growth but also strengthen political ties and enhance the overall quality of life for people on the continent.
Idk if any one will see but my goal is when I grow older I will make the AFRICAN UNION to be stronger much stronger that everyone and every state will look up to Africa. childern will be grateful and happy they are born to be African the oppose of how I used to feel as a child, people will not come to other areas of the world as refugees or come to "western countries for better eduction". Africa will be a GREAT country To be honset idk what i am doing or what I will do but all I know is that I want afirca to be one big state and countries to be representers and it to be a safe great place to leave. today when I am writing this it is thursday , nov4 2021 and I am 14 in 9th grade. you the person that is seeing this come back to africa and create businesses so both you and the people can benefit from it. LETS ALL BE PROUD TO AFRICA
As an African, I recommend that the governing body of AU urges C.A.F to deny the participation(African Cup Of Nations) of every African country that has distanced/ removed itself from the union. Regards,
Correction: Somaliland was a separate country during the colony; after its independence, Somaliland tried to form a union with Somalia. At that time, Somalia was still under an Italian colony. We waited until they got their independence, There was no ratified union between the two countries, and the union became dysfunctional. Somaliland become Independent country after that.
The true question of electing purely based on merit by her citizens is the first obstacle to overcome, therefore this problems is within the citizens themselves, and that will be assisted by those organisations who doesn't want it to work, they are still well alive on the continent with their operations
