The President of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, has renewed calls for a politically and economically unified Africa, urging the continent to embrace one president, one currency, one parliament, and a single military command.
Speaking at the Nigeria Bar Association’s Annual General Conference in Enugu on Sunday, Malema described Africa’s current borders as “colonial constructs” and said they should be dismantled to allow the continent to speak with one voice.
“We demand one Africa, a borderless Africa, an Africa with one president, one currency, one military command, and one parliament,” Malema declared before thousands of lawyers and dignitaries in attendance.
He argued that a unified African currency would stand stronger against global currencies, adding: “We don’t care what Donald Trump or any other leader thinks of us. Africans must refuse to be subjects of others. We must stand together as the world changes and show the world that Africa is one and equal to all nations.”
Currently, Africa is made up of 54 recognised sovereign states, each with its own president or leader
