I am glad to see Africa waking up and coming together to solve their issues. Maybe all of Africa may follow suit. It would be like the U.S.A. The United States Of Africa.

I'm pretty skeptical because every time we get hooked up with people of no color, we end up paying for it. Africa is going to get hurt in the end. #Slavery, never got over it and still fighting it. Racism is worldwide. Why can't we just do stuff on our own....I'm confused why we keep involving ourselves with people that don't care about our welfare. I don't get it. We need to stand on our own. We can do it, but we just don't....I don't get it. SMH. I keep hearing how black people built cities and had to teach white people even how to bathe and yet we keep connecting with the devil.....Make it make sense....Would you tell your sons or daughters to stay in an abusive relationship? That's what we are doing?

I hear you. I agree.

The key thing here is that in the process of building the East African Federation, our people only does what is in their benefit and does not give others power over us. This means we should not sign contracts that will undermine the foundation or future of what we're creating. The EAF should first prioritise what it can do internally without external help, before looking towards other African countries to fill any skill/resource gaps.

If for some reason there are skills required for say infrastructure projects that aren't held in Africa, then our people need to find a way to plug those gaps. I'm not sure on the best solution here and would welcome your thoughts. On one hand we could get some of our engineers to receive training from countries like Russia for instance, who do not have the same history with Africa that most other external countries like China and the US do. On another hand, we could remove all risk of external issues by spending a decade or two learning all the skills that we need from scratch, while until then we just focus on doing what we can now. Some may suggest a third option of getting external engineers in this example I've given, but I tend to believe that that follows the 'give a man a fish vs teach him how to fish' situation.

What are your thoughts?

Yeah, it'd be like a domino effect and make it easier to co-ordinate key initiatives at a federal level.

Also, a lot of our leaders seem to have been brainwashed to believe that other countries who have done a lot against us like the UK, US, etc. are the best thing since sliced bread. But this leaves room for many non-black countries to keep doing the same nonsense that we have seen before, as you have pointed out.

Gaddafi was correct. Africa should Unite. Get rid of the American owners of the companies, take back the salt-mines, gold-mines, diamond-mines. The problem I see is the ability to be normal and what is normal. Africa should just be nothing but nature, hospitals, and housing that actually works for everybody. It would be the perfect society. With only a hint of vanilla.

I could be done, at least on paper. In my area we have this "problem". They buy the property, let the area diminish in value ( or rent to people who are problematic, ) and then slowly but surely push out the non-Jews. It makes everybody unhappy and everybody is too weak minded to actually see it for what it is or stops it. Everybody would rather burn money on food, and watch tv, then actually own property, save money, and work together.

Africa is the same thing. Brick by brick legally owning each bit. Is the answer. Even investors from Red China are doing this in the mid-west. They are buying tons of property. Property that is sitting with empty lots and towns. Some people who live on these block feels it is a colonization project. They know the companies, who they are, and what they represent. Imagine ghost towns of land not being managed ( Usually forced to be managed via court-order ).

Good for them, I wonder how it would turn out.
