The Road To A New Africa

About the Book

“The Road to a New Africa, An Essay to the African People” is a comprehensive analysis of the difficulties facing Africa and a comprehensive proposal of how Africa can overcome these difficulties. The book is intended to offer concrete proposals to the African people to help address the two of the three fundamental sources of Africa’s problems – political structure and political system. A third fundamental source of Africa’s problem is political ideology, which is addressed in the sequel to the book. "The Road to a New Africa, An Essay to the African People" is a proposal for Africans to consider as Africa searches for a way to a better tomorrow. The essay is my contribution to the search for an appropriate and acceptable means to achieve the aspiration of the African people, which is peace and prosperity. The essay is to instill a new understanding of the imperative need to create The United Africa in order to achieve peace and prosperity in Africa and to establish that there is an acceptable way to reach total African political union.

What is the better way

The better way to Africa unification is - the federation of Modern Africa and Traditional Africa. This means the federation of modern African states that emerged after the partition of Africa and traditional African states that existed before the partition of Africa, which were the ethnic states of Africa. The general idea of the book is this : Give Traditional Africa a greater degree of political and economic autonomy and establish a super neutral federal power to provide maximum political and economic security to all Africans. This means create one African nation consisting of a unity of African states and African ethnic groups. The proposal centers on how the people of Africa can create permanent peace and prosperity without endangering the survival of the African ethnicity. The proposal is meant to reconcile the need of the African to protect and preserve ethnicity with the need of the African for peace and prosperity.
