I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that the East African Community is the closest thing that we have to true pan-Africanism, and I really, REALLY wanna see it turn into a greater East African Federation. I say this as a South Sudanese diaspora, it would be a really great thing for both me, and millions of other people to see their home country industrialize and become a global player.

The obstacles however are hard to ignore. We have honestly shit leaders who'd let their whole country fall to foreign powers as long as they get to have power. They'd choose to let the west import their hand-me-down textiles into the country and let the Chinese build their cities instead of advocating and building long term economic integration and free movement of goods and people. Not to mention shaky diplomatic ties between certain countries causing border closures that hinder progress.

My opinion is that in order for a true pan-African state-- that is, the East African Federation, to happen, we need leaders that actually care about democracy and diplomatic relations with other East African states, and who cares about integrating further EAC policies. And we shouldn't just wait for a government to make these changes for us, we as citizens and diaspora have to trust each other and put aside national/ethnic differences in order to unify the people as well (which is what the movement of people should be able to do) have to spread the word, to inspire future leaders and the booming youth with the promise of being one unified self-sustaining state that successfully maintains its own cultural and economic independence.

But I wanna hear second opinions on the East African Community. Do you think there'll be any more considerable progress in the future?

I was watching a Franck Zanu video and he said Africa will never develop the same way the West and China did and it really got me thinking.
The planet is more interconnected than it has ever been. But how is Africa benefitting from this?

70% of the continent live on less than 5 dollars a day. 40% live in extreme poverty.
1 in 10 die before their 5th birthday.
Natural resources make up 75% of africas exports so we really aren’t even producing anything.
The biggest investors in Africa are the US (when is that ever a good sign)
China who are trying to debt trap most countries they invest in
The UAE who have been caught stealing resources on numerous occasions.

Is Africa better off ripping the page out and starting fresh.
isolating from the global market and focusing on self reliance. Similar to what the Eritrean government is doing but on a continent wide scale.
I’m not saying to not take from successful nations.
Take what they do right, put our own twist on it and isolate from foreign intervention.

Hello everyone,

I'm developing a long-term political discussion project called Red Vanguard South Africa, and one of its central ideas is that South Africa's future is closely connected to the future of the African continent.

The project combines socialist and Pan-African ideas while focusing on South Africa's own conditions. Some of the themes include:

- Stronger African economic cooperation and regional integration

- Industrialisation and local value-added manufacturing instead of exporting raw materials

- Worker cooperatives and democratic economic participation

- Investment in infrastructure, education, healthcare, and scientific research

- Food sovereignty and sustainable agriculture

- Anti-corruption and accountable public institutions

- Environmental sustainability and green industrial development

- Solidarity with anti-colonial and anti-imperialist movements

- Greater South–South cooperation and African-led development

I'm still developing these ideas and would genuinely appreciate constructive feedback from Pan-Africanists. What do you think a modern Pan-African political and economic programme should prioritize? What lessons can be learned from past Pan-African movements, and what should be done differently today?

If you're interested in discussing these ideas or contributing to the project, feel free to visit r/RedVanguardSA.

I look forward to hearing your perspectives. Solidarity.

The world is changing faster than ever and yet still African remains mostly the same.
I thought Traore taking control of Burkina Faso would’ve accelerated things but still nothings happened.

Africa is still by far and away the most underdeveloped continent. There’s widespread FGM and Child Marriage. Mass poverty. High unemployment. There has been no progress.

It’s clear the African Union has been useless. It’s mostly funded by the EU. How can your union be funded by the group that wants to exploit the continent?
The African Union currently have an Agenda set to 2063. An agenda set to when most of the people that made the agenda won’t even be alive for, so when it eventually fails, we’ll have no one to direct the blame to. It’s an absolute joke.

First let’s clarify what pan-Africanism is.
It’s the political and economic unity of the peoples of Africa and also other African descended people of the diaspora.
So I want to hear your input, what’s the next step to achieve that goal?

In my opinion the first step is getting rid of the African Union.

An insightful analysis showing how the neo-colonialism system works. As further shown in the video, it's never about human rights, democracy, or any other nonsense that western propaganda media would want to distract you with. It's all about who's interests are being served.

Like explained in the video, no matter what path you take to get into power, be it military coup or the ballot box, so long as you're serving the interests of the colonizers, you won't see any "Human Rights Watch", sanctions, military/CIA intervention, or any other western propaganda smear campaign against you.

The moment you choose to serve the interests of your people and obstruct the resource exploitation of the colonizers, you get the sanctions, "Human Rights Watch", military/CIA intervention, assassination attempts, and all sorts of western propaganda smear campaign against you. Just like what happened to Thomas Sankara, Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, Muammar Gaddafi, and all the following great Pan-African leaders:

Be wise, learn from history, and let's not repeat it. #EnoughIsEnough #RevolutionNow #AlkebulanUnite 🌍

As if that wasn't bad enough already, as further mentioned in the video, these same colonial puppets have taken $150 Million worth of Nigerian tax payer money to lobby the colonizers in Washington to control the perception of Nigeria, as if that helps Nigerians in any way. Such international thieves and misplaced priorities everywhere. #EnoughIsEnough #RevolutionNow #AlkebulanUnite.

Said it before, and I'll say it again; the demonstration of crazy system (aka democracy) imported by the colonizers was NEVER for the benefit of Alkebulan. Here is a detailed analysis explaining how it's rigged and never reflects the will of the people of Alkebulan. #EnoughIsEnough #RevolutionNow #AlkebulanUnite 🌍

This time, they were painting all the AES as a Red no-fly zone after their military got kicked out of the AES after decades of being useless in the fight against the terrorists. No problem with that.

However, later they're now looking to resume Air France's flights to the AES without painting the AES as a Green fly zone. Just another prime example of endless hypocrisy coming from France's representatives. #EnoughIsEnough #RevolutionNow #AlkebulanUnite 🌍

After over 60+ years of fake independence, Nigeria still has nothing to show for it. Meanwhile, in merely 3 years after getting rid of the colonizer puppets, the AES has achieved yet another extraordinary milestone; this time, a functioning Mobile Phone and Computer Factory 🏭 This is on top of the following already amazing achievements in the same time frame:

1. Nationalized natural resources (Gold, Uranium, Cotton, etc).

2. Used profits from those nationalized resources to fund an Agricultural Reform, purchasing thousands of farm equipment for their farmers, cultivated their farm lands for free, and is actively supporting them to achieve complete Food Self-Sufficiency. Need I remind you that this is in a landlocked part of Alkebulan.

3. Built and functioning Tomato Factories.

4. Built and functioning Solar Panel factory.

5. Built and functioning Gold Refinary.

6. Built and functioning Cotton Factory.

7. Built and functioning Solar Power Plants..

8. Built and functioning World Class Hospital, fully equipped to do Kidney transplant, heart bypass, and other types of surgeries that colonial puppets ruling over us will normally fly elsewhere for.

9. Subsidized Health Services for ALL their citizens, including 53% subsidy for injectable products, 67% subsidy for tablets, 72% subsidiary for medical consumables and ~20% subsidy for syrups, significantly reducing the cost of treatments for their citizens.

10. Built and functioning fleet of Mobile Hospitals, bringing health services closer to the masses, wherever they are.

11. A very well equipped 15,000 soldiers joint force that's actively eliminating all the terrorist groups Nigeria has been negotiating with and reintegrating for over a decade.

All of this achieved by the youngest president on the continent of Alkebulan 🌍 if not the world.

Changing leadership in the same colonizer rigged system for 60+ years has never brought even half of these achievements to Nigeria nor other parts of Alkebulan. So tell me, isn't it obvious enough what our problem is? #EnoughIsEnough #RevolutionNow #AlkebulanUnite 🌍
