nah comparing a continent to singular European nations is what's dumbPan Eurocentrism is one of the major reasons why European origins countries are at the top of the wold food chain,....Pan Arabism is why arabsic culture has such sway over a significant portion of the world population yet it's senseless for Africans to unite to look after and protect their own interest
it wouldn't have to be a dictator though that's probably what it would take to achieve this and i could have sworn i said a leader whom didn't resort to human rights violations...well that's the point...Africans a united Africa would ideally be self sustaining and cut itself off from all Western and other exploitative outside forces.
There is no pan eurocentrism.
Its eurocentrism and there is also US hegemony, and there is also the anglo-american (US - Brit) relations. That said these ideologies compete, and it was war betweens the european nations that led to two of the biggest wars in the course of human history.
Your pan-arabism argument makes no sense. Arab culture doesn't have a sway over a significant portion of the world, this is non-sense. Arabs are in fighting over religion right now, Saudi waging a war against Iranian (persians) and their satellites as we speak, Turks and Saudi - Iranians fighting Yemeni, Kurds, and etc. Your argument is false on its face of the supposed success of pan-arabism. There is no unified arabic culture or movement active at all currently in the world.
Africans don't even look at themselves as all Africans and the same, they have different divisions themselves, which you see currently manifesting itself in Central African Republic, you saw the results in Somalia, in Rwanda, in Sudan.
You said a leader who didn't resort in human rights violations, like I said name one "strong man" who didn't cease power and maintain it without violation of human rights. You won't find one in the history of the world , because it can't exist when strong men exist and are in power.
Africa is a continent, instead of taking the european view that these people are all the same and one, simply because of their skin color, respect them and their culture and realize they are distinct people of different groups. Want to aid peace and stability in africa and help them advance, stop western welfare that gives leaders money to not develop their own infrastructure but rely on international handouts instead of building their own wealth and expanding.
