What if there was a United States of Africa

Maybe not the whole continent but if somehow all of subsaharan Africa joined together to become an entity like the USA. I could see them becoming a dominant player in the world, maybe something to rival US and Chinese power? Someone would need to come in and completely take over, but if they could unify the countries I think that would be interesting.

Instead of the EU for Europe, you can call it AU for Africa.

Gaddafi tried his whole life to unite Africa under its own currency and all it got him was killed. Killed by the global banking elite under the disguise of NATO.

Well yes, that’s the Chinese plan

Yeah but I’m envisioning something more politically cohesive than the EU. Europe is still a bunch of individual countries even if they are all tied together. I’m imagining someone just come in and dominate much of the African continent. Split it into a bunch of states like we are but have this unifying federal government.

You know you may be on to something. Maybe we could have some 1st world country like, say, England come in and set up some trade routes and colonies. We can slowly start teaching Christianity and enforce civil laws. Then when the locals are ready, we can usurp the culture and voila, United States of Africa.

Blowing up a 747 full of Westerners didn't help him any

That region for the most part has been on a steady decline since the end of colonialism. The areas could never sort this out on their own and there is no way they would accept outside influence.
The former French speaking colonies have a common currency (Francs CFA) and a trade agreement (CEMAC). Even CEMAC doesn't work very well.

You realize that only worked in the US because we were basically all English. Yes, it was 13 separate colonies, but overall the culture was pretty much the same. Outside of a few things to work out in the Continental Congresses, it wasn't that hard.
Compare that to Africans who likely don't even realize that there are other countries that exist outside of theirs, much less have a concept to joint together for a common cause.

Africa is flooded with Chinese. You wouldn't believe how many live there.
