Afrika in Focus Special: Afrika Day 25 May -- Why Afrika Must Unite!

<p>This week&apos;s edition of Afrika in Focus poses the suggestion why Afrika must unite by any means necessary.  <br/><br/>Firstly we take a look at a couple of other stories. <br/><br/>Ghana has reached a board level agreement with the IMF to obtain a US$3 billion bailout over the next 3 years in an attempt to balance its books.  <br/><br/>We maintain that Ghana did not need to go to the  IMF and warn of some of the dire consequences of this agreement.<br/><br/>Next we touch on the issue of the recent COVID 19 vaccinations program and report of the many deaths from the vaccine since it was administered.<br/><br/>We go into our main subject matter looking at why Afrika must unite.<br/><br/>We cite that the map of Afrika we see today is as the result of the wicked Congress of Berlin 1884/1885, where insatiable Europeans carved up Afrika like a pizza into the geo political entities we see today.<br/><br/>We detail where Afrika Day came from and cite the influence Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana had on the formation of the Organization for African Unity (OAU), today&apos;s African Union (AU).<br/><br/>We state giving cogent reasons why Afrika must unite given the world geo political order as it stands , the external factors hampering Afrikan unity and the stark consequences of Afrika not uniting. <br/><br/>Sources:<br/><br/><a href='https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-65622715.amp'>Ghana IMF loan: Will $3bn solve the economic crisis? - BBC News</a><br/><br/><a href='https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/IMF-not-panacea-to-Ghana-s-economic-woes-World-Bank-experts-1461808'>IMF not panacea to Ghana’s economic woes – World Bank, experts (ghanaweb.com)</a><br/><br/><a href='https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-58330796'>Lisa Shaw: Presenter&apos;s death due to complications of Covid vaccine - BBC News</a><br/><br/><a href='https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/aug/26/bbc-presenter-lisa-shaw-died-of-astrazeneca-covid-vaccine-complications-coroner-finds'>BBC presenter Lisa Shaw died of Covid vaccine
