The Call From AU
The African Union (AU) has invited the African Diaspora to become “voting members” of the AU so that together African people can move toward making the unification of the African continent into the reality called the Union of African States (or United States of Africa) in the near future.
Our Answer
As part of the preparations for this great opportunity, a number of Regional, Sub Regional, National and local meetings will be organized for the African Diaspora Community in the several parts of the defined, conceptual Sixth Region.
The AU
The vision of the African Union is that of: “An integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena.”
