(Pan-African Alliance) It was the vision of Marcus Garvey, Henry Sylvester-Williams, Edward Wilmot Blyden, Kwame Nkrumah and millions of other Pan-African’s past and present to bring a United States of Africa to life. Today, we are politically, economically, socially and geographically separated from our brothers and sisters engaged in the fight to liberate our homeland and complete that vision.
A United States of Africa would be the third most populous state after China and India, would have the largest total territory of any state on Earth, and the most powerful economic and military force in the history of the world. Realizing that vision will mean the unification of Africa’s political bodies, infrastructure, currency and resources, and armed forces. But as you will read below, this vision is not without its challenges.
