There is strong evidence to support that self-determination could be one of the most positive steps forward for the development of African states and the upliftment of its diverse groups and people. Nigerian journalist, Lawrence Amaku, provides sound analysis of the South Sudan secession. He highlights the fact that many of Africa’s countries/states have been artificially formed. These unnatural unions which were forced upon Africa by colonial forces has been the source of many an African conflict and has failed the citizens whom live within their borders. The Exemplary example of Ghana Ghana was established under the lines of the Empire of Ashanti, thus creating and maintaining a sustainable and hereditary natural state. Other countries with unnatural borders which where invented and created in 1885 by acts of either folly or plain disregards, or even by colonial arrogance. These Colonial countries which as a country only exist in a map live in a constant state of conflict and confusion. Thus hindering any prospects of peace, harmony and development. Plantation Africa to Self-Determined Nation States We all want an end to: “Plantation Africa.” We want instead “Self-Determined Nations States” in Africa as the basic Independent sovereign political units on the continent. That’s how the rest of the modern world exists today, or is actively working towards and becoming. africafederation.net/
