      When I was in 5th grade, We were talking about why geography matter and my history teacher asked a (not smart) girl to name a continent. Here's how it went:
      Teacher: Name a continent
      Girl: Hawaii
      T: No a continent, Hawaii is a state
      G: ...Hawaii
      T: No turn around
      G: (turns around and for about a minute looks at three pictures, one of Europe, one of Asia, one of Africa) Oh Mexico
      I wish I was making this up

    Out of all the videos that detail joining countries into one = this one would make so much sense for Africa. IMO the darn rulers of a lot of the countries are brutal and keep the people from being able to rise up. I can imagine combining the natural resources and if they can figure out a free and open government society they would be mighty. Africa (the continent) is amazing.

    Africa is simply too big and diverse in many ways to be united. I would like to think that Africa could unite and solve its problems together, but the nature of how the continent works is such that ethnic tensions and warfare are common, meaning that it would be almost impossible for everyone to agree enough of the time for this theorised state to actually function.

      If there is a population boom in a region, it only means that the kids are not dying as before, it means the balance between death and life is broken towards life untill it balances again.
      This is what has happened in the western world in from 1850s to 1950s, since the industry and medicine has developed to result as healthier kids and high life expectancy.

    Grass is a ubiquitous plant that covers vast expanses of land. It is an important source of food for many grazing animals and plays a crucial role in the ecological balance of terrestrial ecosystems. Grass also has numerous practical applications, such as in the production of hay, turf for sports fields, and as a renewable energy source through the process of biomass conversion. Additionally, grass has aesthetic value, with its lush green color and soft texture often used in landscaping and gardening. Despite its many benefits, grass can also pose challenges, such as invasive species and the need for frequent maintenance. Overall, grass is a remarkable plant that has shaped the natural world and continues to provide valuable resources to humans and other organisms.

It had a higher household income in Africa and it was even higher than places like Saudi Arabia etc. If you couldnt find work or education inside Libya, the government would fund it somewhere else abroad. It was a right to own a home in Libya. Despite the country being the poorest in Africa not long before he took over. It was just tribes.

      the only non muslim african country that is good is SA thanks to the white man. I would say Ethiopia too but that country is poorer than somalia and has high hiv rates. people blame islam black SA are killing somalis because of jealousy for the businesses they own stop blaming religion

    Even if all the governments somehow were able to unite, there is so much animosity between different ethnic groups and various clan units that it would be continuously ripped apart making it impossible for it to achieve anything close to super power status.

      Diamonds are also intrinsically worthless. Besides industrial diamond applications, but those can be synthetic. So I should say "pretty diamonds" are intrinsically worthless, but I guess humans haven't fully evolved past their "oooh shiny things" phase yet.

    It's very complex and difficult because of diversity, but I think that we shouldn't completely close the door on the possibility of an asymmetric federal Africa, with a senate of regions (by ethnic group) and a chamber of deputies that elects a prime minister (it would be massive) I think would be an interesting feat.
