      When I was in 5th grade, We were talking about why geography matter and my history teacher asked a (not smart) girl to name a continent. Here's how it went:
      Teacher: Name a continent
      Girl: Hawaii
      T: No a continent, Hawaii is a state
      G: ...Hawaii
      T: No turn around
      G: (turns around and for about a minute looks at three pictures, one of Europe, one of Asia, one of Africa) Oh Mexico
      I wish I was making this up

    Out of all the videos that detail joining countries into one = this one would make so much sense for Africa. IMO the darn rulers of a lot of the countries are brutal and keep the people from being able to rise up. I can imagine combining the natural resources and if they can figure out a free and open government society they would be mighty. Africa (the continent) is amazing.

  • @nobodyinparticular8195
    @nobodyinparticular8195 Год назад +23

    Africa is simply too big and diverse in many ways to be united. I would like to think that Africa could unite and solve its problems together, but the nature of how the continent works is such that ethnic tensions and warfare are common, meaning that it would be almost impossible for everyone to agree enough of the time for this theorised state to actually function.

      @@tyan_ldn Serious. Libya under Gaddafi had the highest standard of Living in Africa. Healthcare was free, electricity was free, education was free. Housing was subsidised. The government would pay half the price of your car. Newly wed couples would receive money to buy a home. If you wanted to be a farmer youd get free land. It had a higher household income in Africa and it was even higher than places like Saudi Arabia etc. If you couldnt find work or education inside Libya, the government would fund it somewhere else abroad. It was a right to own a home in Libya. Despite the country being the poorest in Africa not long before he took over. It was just tribes. Not to mention he did tremendous help for the rest of Africa, he was the one who built the man made river. Libyas literacy rose from 1/5 people being literate to 83%. He lifted millions out of poverty and provided aid and built dams in other countries. He helped other African countries kick foreign influence out. Now Libya is in ruins.
