AFRICAN UNITY

African union is vital to the progressive transformation of Africa. Take heed it is happening, for the last seven years no less than eight African countries have had their Gdp growth set at  at least 4% unlike most European countries. But unity essentially begins at home, if in our own countries there is disarray the likes of Mali, Sudan, Congo Kinshassa, and some other countries that are still fragile, suchas Ivory Coast, Togo how do you genuinely sit down and work in unity when there is none at your home. But the AU has strived on, and  in recent years has played a more active role to send troops to pacify conflicts in Africa, amongst a few other positive steps, such as the cutting of red tape on the passage of AU citizens and Goods. But the AU established way before the European Union known before as the O.A.U (Organisation of African Unity) is still walking baby steps, the old project to connect North Africa to South Africa by rail, a noble one, is still on paper somewhere. An excellent project that would make it easy, and very economic, unlike air transport, to transport  citizens and goods from Africa. This project  must re-emerge again as a top priority, as the one of the setting up of a Central Bank Of Africa vital, amongst many other fundamental projects that would substantially contribute to the progressive transformation much needed in our ancient aging but beautiful continent. Rail ways and banks may not be such a priority in the view of other problems that might nedd more urgent priority, and they are many, fast response to hunger crisis amongst others; but they still hold their fundamental significance on the long road to making our continent we can be toatally proud of as a whole. But then Im not a politician,  just a pure pan-africanist in soul. And Africa is changing.......
