Let Africa Trade With Africa

I agree, that Black people can and should help each other. We are Family!

Africa needs to help Africa. The potential is there but relying on outside powers will do nothing, Africa needs to help itself as the whole world especially Africa will benefit

[@lambiliabrown7786]

They have to get out of colonial mindset. Africa must start seeing African Goods as beautiful and great not only things from the Western world...

[@therwandannoble2034]

Lambilia Brown You don't know what you are talking about. Your emotions are higher than logics. Show me an African laptop that can rival American, then I'll buy 2 African laptops. Give me ine example of things we buy from West when we have them locally ?

[@lambiliabrown7786]

@@therwandannoble2034 - Africans can always create their own laptops. if they're given the necessary tools they can make one. You should study a little bit about economics then you would understand what I mean by buying and seeing African things as good as Western things.

[@slimpickens5730]

"If they are given their own tools"? You sound silly. We are free to develop its the old leaders who keeps us under constant duress. Or in the case of HRH Kagame stays charismatic while picking off anyone who dares challenges him........grow up ya KNOW NOTHING JACKASS PEASANT!!!

Some African goods are amazing whereas others are not. But over quite a lot of time African goods, such as technology, may be better than goods that come from the America, Europe or China. Some people might call it a fantasy others would call it the future

[@birdyelke775]

@ Lambilia, our government knows, but they are traitors, they kept bending infront of them, Its the AU elected president, An African woman, bold mother, who had even asked the men to step aside, who had voice it out loud and clear, instead even Koffee, was the puppet of UN, and had never been able to voice out of African advantages. when as a people you feel low due to lowself esteem, there's not much you can do, isn'it?

[@birdyelke775]

@David Miles yet, they had choices to redrawn and stand their ground, and make better decision. Chinese was in the same situation now, they had arrived on the continent, and We are ready to sold away and we shouldn't blamed no one but our thick brain. We had good wise advisor, let listen and make used of what we had...

[@noahbowie5985]

@David Miles undemocratic countries such as Ethiopia are transitioning towards democracy, some have already arrived. There are pockets where corruption has been largely dealt with and over time those pockets will grow. The African Union has taken steps to crack down on corruption in its member states, which is all of Africa. So while a lot of work needs to be done to bring the dark days of the last few decades in Africa to a close it's clear that progress is being made in many parts.

[@Katabwa]

Try to forcus on positive Africa and fight corruption among leaders.. They are the one who's keeping Africa behind.. Africa right now is making good progress big time.. Pay attantion to her.. She will eventually win.. I love Africa.. Africa is the future for all backs around the world today.. Just pay attation to her..

[@lesleykramer7207]

Finally, a comment from someone with common sense!

[@marcelinocambanda2511]

We have, as Afrikans a big market, for our own produkts.

[@mucholangs]

You have to ban foreign imports. There is a lot of dumping that is killing African industries. Dangote, Africa's richest man got so rich in part because Nigeria banned importation of cheaper cement. Most of the wealth Dangote has accumulated would have gone to China without cement ban. Now because of his wealth, Dangote has diversified heavily into other areas, such as agriculture, oil refinery, telecom, port operations, etc.

[@adetunjiadeobaiii5829]

It took 6 six years but Africa is making tremendous strides towards the free movement of goods and services!

[@chingychangy2257]

No Foreign ownership...contracts only. AU Members can fix it....as in fix the transportation services connections. Foreigners own control and profit most.

Africa has made it mandatory to trade with Africa. Period. Starting from today all of Africa including Egypt Morocco and the Arab emirates began Inter- African continental trade with each other. Thats what we want to seeeee!!! Thank you!

[@2face60]

the solution to Africa is to become one union. the separation has always been the reason why Africa failed. create jobs with the resources you have. supply and demand.

[@leroythomas4967]

The world is afraid of Africa, simply because her resources are not limited, and because of this, Africa could, and will become the very next super power. The world knows this, and this is why they all scramble to keep their hand on her. But, it's only a matter of time before Africa's power becomes unstoppable. As with those of her decent around the world. It's past due for Africa to rule with great success. She once ruled, and will rule again.

Are Colonizers involved/a threat in Africa’s inter/intra trade issues? How much money goes to Britain, France, China, other foreigners ...how are they involved????? Africa needs to trade and profit with Africa...no foreign ownership...a no brainer.

[@wallstreet497]

Traceability is also a serious challenge to know the true origin of the goods coming through close borders. Yes EU countries trade up to 65% within the block however it is easy to trace the origin of the goods and there is also a quota to protect local industries for certain products particularly food dumped on their markets .

[@showman7632]

Traceability of goods will increase as trade increase. Europe also went through the process. The opportunity here is Africa only need to adopt systems in place to improve visibility in its new trade network.

[@sheritownsend7525]

Isn't this a matter of education? Do Africans understand the relationship between trading within the continent and how it benefits their economic status? You reshape mindsets with education. This type of economics can easily be taught in school. Why would anybody have to LET Africa trade with Africa unless Africa has no control over its trade. The governments within the continent should have already figured this out. So what's the REAL stop?

[@Deontjie]

The lack of infrastructure is not the biggest barrier to intra Africa trade. The corrupt officials at the borders are. And the corrupt government's refusal to tackle this problem. It takes transport truckers more than 5 days to cross the Congo border.

[@jeanwilliams-bowens124]

Deon Van der Westhuizen What else is new You are repeating / regurtating

If African countries do not trade in Africa , true it will decline to fall. If Africa do not take over it natural resources it will fall deeper. If Africa don’t take its natural resources , process them into finished goods it will remain poor, and fall deeper. Yes Africa can develop into a formidable power and its people sovereign.

[@Msoja8]

Absolutely, we need intra-Africa trade and a common currency.

[@johnhbaldwin9178]

What Africa needs is a common currency that is used by all the countries on the continent and a bank of Africa in each country to merge the economies and dispense monetary resource for infrastructure projects , housing , schools , hospitals and a common defense.

After all of these decades and hundreds of years why wouldn't this already be everyday common happenings on the continent I just really need someone to answer that question.

Its about time for African nations to trade with each other cooperatively for mutual advantage and mutual growth (esp with the spread of democracy and international law enforcement)! So much natural wealth and potential over there in the African continent. Exploited for mutual gain by Africans themselves, then Europeans and Americans and Indians etc (not just communist-Chinese) will be trying hard to immigrate to there to live and raise their families. The rise of the Sub-Saharan African continent is at hand over the coming decades and centuries (as the United States of America gradually but increasingly becomes a lawless, impoverished Latin American country without a clearly defined southern border or illegal-immigration enforcement per liberal-socialists/progressive political influence and growth with the extremely rapid Latino-population growth).
