L'ECO de la CEDEAO mort-née? Torpillée par des connivences et arrangements d'un autre temps, qui ne reflètent pas l'ère nouvelle dans laquelle l'Afrique doit s'inscrire? Le continent a besoin d'un leadership émancipé, inspiré et courageux!
It gives me an uneasy feeling that the UEMOA Zone wishes to take up the Eco in replacement for its CFA Franc ahead of other ECOWAS Member States. It‘s a matter of concern that a people with whom we wish to go into a union are taking major steps without trusting us for discussion.
8/Si la crise du COVID-19 nous rappelle les graves lacunes de la construction étatique en Afrique, elle nous indique, en même temps, que la solution aux problèmes du continent réside en grande partie dans son unité et son intégration. Happy #AfricaDay
#AfricaDay THREAD:
1/8 Nous comm��morons aujourd’hui, #AfricaDay, qui marque la création de l’Organisation de l’Unité Africaine (OUA), Union Africaine (UA) depuis 2002. #AfricaDay est l’un des symboles forts de la libération du continent du joug colonial dans sa forme extrême.
7/...des peuples du continent. Rejetons le panafricanisme de la compromission où les sœurs et surtout les frères s’accommodent et, plus grave, s’inspirent des dérives autoritaires et prédatrices de leurs congénères.
Non, Madame la Ministre @murielpenicaud. En France un Noir de la Guyane, Goncourt en 1921 (René Maran). Wole Soyinka (Nigeria), Nobel de littérature. Lisez Du Bois, Himes, Wright, Baldwin etc. Vous avez l’excuse de l’ignorance, pour cela je vous pardonne ce dérapage choquant...
Attended the Launch of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA) Impact Report 2017 @IPSS_Addis. My coordinator Melhik Bekele did a great job presenting the report. @DrMDiatta and Ambassador Bankole Adeoye were both such great discussants and raised important points.
Good luck tomorrow Mzansi! Go out and vote (wisely)-too many of us still don’t enjoy the privilege of a vote that counts. Also, this one might make many pollsters lie, once again. #SAelections2019
The AU and IGAD have an opportunity to challenge an authoritarian state-building project and help build a better Sudan. Read here: https://t.co/Bl1QGok6kY

I concluded a 2day visit to #Sudan as part of @_AfricanUnion efforts to engage all political actors for a resolution of the crisis and a return to civilian rule and constitutional order. https://t.co/dTvRttbuP6
As the AU grapples with subsidiarity the #CARcrisis is a good example of strong AU action where the Central African region has stepped back @AU_PSD https://t.co/NKe0tgdxMu
"The Chairperson expresses the African Union conviction that the military take-over is not the appropriate response to the challenges facing Sudan and the aspirations of its people."
#Bashir is gone!
BUT a military transitional council ruling for 2 years is NO good news-obvious signs: suspended constitution & 3-month state of emergency. The people of #Sudan have not won yet! Perhaps it will get worse before it gets better?
