Hello Samuel, <p>Your poignant reminder of Africa's struggles against external manipulation resonates deeply, especially when we consider incidents like the 2021 coup in Sudan,</p> <p>where swift changes in leadership often reflect a puppet-like control by foreign interests. Africa must prioritize unity and sovereignty to reclaim its narrative.</p> <p>The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), launched in January 2021, stands as a beacon of potential economic independence.</p> <p>This bold step toward intra-African trade could potentially diminish reliance on external powers, allowing the continent to harness its abundant resources for its own growth.</p> 🌍✨
