You will never convince the north african countries to this africanist concept. Economic yes, cultaral no. Good luck convincing them all on your ideology.Ghana has made an official outreach to blacks in the west to go to visit that country. In fact the president himself has designated 2019 as the year of return. All of that is good for pan-africanism. Again its not everybody's cup of tea. But I see it as the only way forward for africans and the only way forward to prevent others from continuing to steal the vast resources from the continent.
As per usual on this site many of you are creating straw man narrative with your little stories about black people forcing you to be pan african. The truth is when most people think of pan-africanism i don't think somalis are included in the mix...which is a win for both sides. You have my assurance.
So there you can stop being concerned about black people forcing you to be pan african. I think most of us will be fine with you being a stand-alone pilar of excellence.
You act like we are insignificant, but if you go to the page on african union, the first list of languages mentioned is somali. Even though we are not that big in numbers, we clearly make a big cultrual and social impact.
From a trading perspective, landlocked countries like ethiopia needs to get shipments in and out for trade, and somalia has the longest coastline and is at the best strategic point connecting the arab countries and the indian ocean, so i don't think people have the somali exclusion in mind when thinking of a union. That would be stupid. Further proving my point that you think in line of culture and social empowerment while ignoring the most important factor, namely the economic.
You mentoning black in the west is so hilarous. Why are you inluding them in this process? They are no longer africans, bro. They can move to africa just like any chinese, white or others. But you have this notion in your head that this continent also belongs to you. I am not going to ignore the fact that you once came from here, but you have no higher claim than the rest of the outsiders in my eyes.
Don't get me wrong i like the AA's, but i hate when people from the west start to plan things for native africans like they know what's best for us. History has told us to never repeat this. You are included in this group also, because you are westernes also.
