African unification is not possible

[veppandi guhan]

South Africa hates Nigerians , Ethiopians hate somalis , ugandans hate tanzanians etc

Yet african leaders preach about pan africanism .

And yet their countries are not real countries, they are colonial projects with made-up borders and names

srsly
african borders arent native to africa, they are inflcted by non native states and whatnot, the first step for a good africa would be to try to seperate itself from colonialistic identity and develop individually away from trying to strive like european countrys and look for their approval, i mean they were doing that in the 12-17th centurys but colonialization destabalized and looted these developing countries so much i think it led to a regression of their souls, being forced into places they were not built for, i dont know why but i feel bad for colonized/non european paoples, so much potential twarthed by a egotistical culture

south africans hate everything not native, the people want indians/pakis/nigerians/zims/any non south african black person/foreign whytes
legit a xenophobic country, but tbf immigrants are not assimilating well, they are violent and stinky(esp pakis)

That's why they had wars in almost all african countries post independance, then instead of revamping the countries after the war they all just chose stable but corrupt presidents to rule their countries and they stayed the way they were, with poor and broken people

All nation states are artificially created anyway . Nations are a new concept originating from American revolution before that we had city states and kingdoms.

egyptians barely consider themselves african, plus they are too different from ssa that they arent apart of our culture, maybe the ones on the eastern and some western african states would relate to them but they never travelled below the sahara really
but if they consider themselves apart of ssa or not idrc

there were prob a proto form of nations tbh during the 19-20th century, even wth that, borders for africa were established in 1884 in a european country, so i think that there were anyways some forms of "nations" before it being a srs thing
nonetheless colonization is the worst thing that happened to africa, destabalizing and destroying the progress that was developing, along with the loots that spanded from benin into mozambique

Do you think it was better worldwide before nation states were a thing? Or better now?

It is not better now . We still got conflicts ,racism etc. human problems are not solved.
