Now Africa heads toward continental government

Union complete with own flag, military, proposed new currency...


Flag of the African Union

Advancing the movement toward economic and political globalism, the African Union is moving down the path of regional economic integration, with the expected end result of continental economic and political integration.

On July 11, 2000, at the Lome Summit in Togo, the states constituting the Organization of African Unity, signed a declaration to form the 53-nation African Union.

While the African Union professes to respect the sovereignty of the individual countries constituting the group, it still has created executive, legislative, and judicial bodies required for regional government, including an African Union Executive Council, a Pan-African Parliament and an African Union Court of Justice.

And while the AU is still in a formative state, it’s already officially designated by an emblem, a flag, an anthem, a central bank, and unified continental military force.

The goal of the African Central Bank is to create an African Single Currency. African Union planners are currently calling the African continental currency the “Gold Mandela.”

Yet, skeptics note that the eco, a common currency designed to be issued by the West African Economic and Monetary Union is now rescheduled to be issued in July 2009, after failing to materialize through earlier efforts.

Prof. Adebayo Adedeji, a former executive secretary of the U.N. Economic Commission for Africa, has observed successful economic integration in Africa will require successful political integration.

“The United Nations is a long-standing supporter of regional integration in Africa,” U.N. Deputy Secretary General Asha-Rose Mtengeti Migiro told the AU summit in Accra, Ghana, on July 1.

It all sounds like the perfect solution for Africa. Indeed, such a horrible situation has been created that there is almost no other way out; a situation that should never have eventuated in the first place. Nanny states, poor government, exploitation and Apartheid, along with the Leftist incitement to rage of the African blacks created dependency, poverty and anarchic, violent rage. This is what has bubbled over to create a state almost intolerable on that continent. Regionalization will, no doubt, seem like a brilliant solution in the short term. But in the big picture of global regionalization, Africa is going to be just another pawn again.
