On the Dar forum, Mo underscored the urgency of African unification. "We need African integration and we need that now, not tomorrow," he said and added, "Who are we to think that we can have 53 tiny countries and be able to compete with China, India, Europe and America?"

 

AfricanConstitution.org has launched African unification with distribution of the African Unification Signature Form for the African people to chart out their own way forward to a United States of Africa of their own choosing. This democratic process is a five-year program envisaged to deliver a continental federal republic of Africa no later than 2015.

 

A continental nation of values. Africa must not and shall not be a United States in slogan only. A United States of Africa has to be a true United States. Borrowing the name United States will make no sense unless we subscribe to the culture of transparent and accountable government it represents, for those great political ideas and democratic practices are universal values and democracy is no monopoly of any one nation.

To the extent we want to call ourselves a United States of Africa, we ought to have no problem whatsoever becoming a United States in action and living to the great name. The African Unification Program is a resource for the African people to create democratic institutions for a democratic United States of Africa. Transparency and accountability will be the defining features of that people-made continental system of African government.

 

The rule of law. The primary character of a true United States is the rule of law. This is the common denominator on which true democracies thrive.

 

African tyranny, corruption, poverty and violence have thriven on a culture of political impunity for a half-century owing to a conspicuous absence of rules and lack of enforcement of existing ones. A United States of Africa which represents a complete departure from the historical anarchy is the only way forward as far as the African people are concerned. This is what the Initiative for a United States of Africa is all about.
