What you and every other freedom loving African is asking for, is like building a mighty cathedral and requires a imovable indestructible rock solid foundation!

A bill of individual rights might be a good start as would be focusing on what you all can actually agree on, even if you need to lead by example, start at home, then use compromise to get the other stuff done?

A younger Nelson Mandela would have been a good choice as an envoy and convincing orator/statesman; and other younger Nelson Mandala think-a-likes need to be found and asked to accept the challenge.

South Africa is the key, as is sport that unites all, even one by one as crossovers/work in progress.

Getting a state of origin soccer comp up and running might be a good ice breaker, as is wiping out the ebola virus wherever it can be detected in any part of the African family? Nothing is harmed by friends extending their helping hands to a poorer less able neighbors!
Rhrosty.

Unless Africa controls its population it has no future. If its population increases by the expected 3 billion they and the world will face vastly increased pollution, mass illegal migration, wars and other dystopian events. Eventually, as inevitable in a world with finite resources, the four horsemen will step in to reduce the population to a realistic figure, but the process will be anything but pleasant.

The best possible action that Africa could take (which will not happen) would be to introduce a Chinese style one child policy. Although much maligned, this is what got China off the ground and caused it to achieve a standard of living far above Africa.

One word , contraception.

We in developed countries use it, all the countries
Causing trouble and war everywhere don't use it..

They then expect us to solve all the problems and poverty caused
By this. And let their big populations flee to our countries trying
To find resources to feed their billions of people.

They blame us for their desperate situation but it
Is purely caused by male arrogance and religious male
Leaders bolstering their power base with human population.
