First of all, the colonialists have never left their lucrative colonies. Secondly, they have convinced the entirety of northern Africa that they are somehow not a part of the African continent, and that they are a part of the fictional Middle East. Even in Egypt, which has a higher percentage of its population graduating from college per capita than the US, this is true. Not only is being African undesirable, it is unthinkable.
Africa is by far the richest continent in natural resources, still mostly untapped, on earth. Yet, its people are the poorest. Africa’s resources are being plunder at unimaginable rates, and new players such as China are vying like dogs for meat and bones.
The potential rise of the African Union has been thwarted by the fermented insurrections and dubious revolutions now taking place across the continent. And with the current civil war in Libya, an attempt to take of head true independence, the formalization of the African Union into the arena of first world standing is in serious doubt.
What America, Europe, and Asia do not want is a strong and viable Africa. The African Union has developed a strategy for becoming an equal with the rest of the world by taking steps to becoming fully autonomous. This strategy is to develop a strong central banking, an industrial and technological solution, and a single currency back by the riches of the continent’s wealth and resources.
Although the colonialists portray Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi as a lunatic despot they also realize that he is crazy like a fox. They know that his plan is to help develop autonomous Africa with the people of Africa strong, united, and independent of the colonial masters. Qaddafi has contributed much of Libya’s oil wealth to developing a strong Africa and this is the reason that he must be gotten rid of. His removal will certainly undermine the development of the African Union and set its development back.
It is imperative that the Africa Union continue to develop so that Africa will grow industrially and economically. It is imperative that Africa develop into an independent home for Africans of all the states of Africa and the world. It is imperative for Africa to manage and control it’s own prosperity and wealth.
