People who are envy of United States of America now wants to form another state of such kind? It's also USA (in short) ...... hehehe and maybe they are trying to confuse people in the future. I doubt it could work.
Libya's President - Muammar Gaddafi has called for all African nations to come together to form a United States of Africa. Something beyond everyone's capabilities. The dictators in some of the African nations are enjoying their reap of harvest, bountifully. Why give up on their power and pass to whom?
The backgrounds on the heads of the African nations - some are muslims, some are christians, some are warlords, some are corrupted, some are with full of scandals - it's a total mess. C'mon Gaddafi, be realistic with your dreams. Though I encourage people to have big big dreams but there are some dreams which are really beyond all humans, only God can do it.
Gaddafi has decided to bring the matter up in next month's African Summit to be held in Ghana.
Or maybe, Gaddafi's meaning is just to come together economically, just like the European Union. For a start, a particular union has been created to cater for such - Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) - with 19 member African countries participating.
