Guides needed for journey to African unity

This is one, if not, the best analysis/article I have read on the subject of African unity.

For one, the author offers a really clear idea on how to embark on this long journey. For another, he makes clear analysis of and connection between historical events and present ones.

My view is that achieving the Pan-African dream will take some great men of character and courage that have the will to take the lead and this discussion to the next level.

This means doing two things:
1) Aggregating all these ideas into a single or a few practical approaches/solutions through deliberation and organization
2) Organizing progressive a group with numerous sub-groups around these ideas.
3) Once a common understanding is reached or even just approximated, then take the message to the masses. That is, start mobilizing people on the continent and the diaspora around this goal.

We do not have to have a perfect plan; we just need something to set the engine of change in motion. Concrete plans and idea will come as we confront and assess the realities on the ground.

The problem with Africa is not the lack of ideas, but rather the absence of ambitious yet visionary, judicious and selfless men to commit to the pursuit of these ideas.

It is a shame that we have only had less than a handful of such individuals in the entire history of the continent. It is time for young Africans to renew this African promise!
