This has been canceled multiple times in the past but maybe China might be encouraging it now :thinking-about-it:

They failed the last deadline to do a constitution by 2021. But maybe this time!

    I believe this is good, Africans should not be restricted by the borders imposed on them by colonialism. Regional unification like this will make them stronger and more independent from foreign interference.

    I have so little knowledge of African geopolitics that I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing. Can someone give me a dumb guy explainer?

            thats like saying pan-white. most pan-nationalists arent that insane. theyre usually like pan-scandinavian or something. its possible to do it in a socialist way but there are also some really fucking weird ones like pan-turkism which would require the invasion of like 6 countries

            china controls the area of all sinitic languages and tbh almost the entirety of the sino-tibetan group sans myanmar. outside of outliers like singapore and taiwan. though there are groups in both of those countries that wanna join china

            the fact that china controls all of sinitic is kinda like an analogue of say, all of scandinavia uniting. or all the east slavic groups being together in the soviet union

      imo the more africa unites the better. makes it easier to resist imperialism.

      absurd fucking map though. thinking europe will unite while china will balkanize is huge cope. also as if the ROC would give up its claims on Tibet, Xinjiang, or Mongolia

    For the same reason Marx supported Prussia in the Franco-Prussian war, this is a good development because the consolidation of fractious administrative divisions is a positive development in the struggle toward socialism.

      Also good for large-scale infrastructure and resource management projects. I doubt its a coincidence that they're all centered on the huge water reserve that is Lake Victoria.
