News article

In a joint statement following the two-day meeting in Mali’s capital Bamako, the foreign ministers spoke of the “great potential for peace, stability, diplomatic strength and economic development that a strengthened political alliance offers”.

“The ministers… guided by the ambition to ultimately achieve a federation uniting Burkina, Mali and Niger recommend the creation of a confederation to the heads of state of the Alliance of Sahel States,” the statement said.

“The ministers… guided by the ambition to ultimately achieve a federation uniting Burkina, Mali and Niger recommend the creation of a confederation to the heads of state of the Alliance of Sahel States,” the statement said.

everybody talks about the Bell Riots dax-stoked and Irish Reunification of 2024 data-revolutionary but there's a couple ideas for a unified africa in there too. in the 60s it was lame "united states of africa" but luckily it was never mentioned on-screen and eventually they prophesied this confederation.

In the 1977 Writers'/Directors' Guide for Star Trek: Phase II – the abortive second series – Uhura was noted as having instead been born in the "African Confederacy". This may have led to the naming of Geordi La Forge's birthplace as the African Confederation in Star Trek: The Next Generation episode TNG: "Cause And Effect".

geordi-no united states of africa

geordi-yes African Confederation
