Julius Malema, the current head of South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters party (EFF) spoke at the Nairobi economic forum today where he called for unity among the Africans above all else.

“This is my home and everywhere else in Africa is our home. We must eliminate the borders between each other so that we may come together. There should be no visa required for another African to get into an African country that’s only 4 hours away.”

“You know why they think we’re xenophobic? Because we don’t know each other. The more we do away with our borders the more we can learn from each other. You welcome me in Kenya like we welcome you in Johannesburg. These are my people, everywhere in Africa is my home.”

Africa not only has the most border divisions of any continental land mass, but also to no one’s surprise experienced the most civil strife out of any other continent on earth.

The African’s folly has been their friendliness to outsiders while they simultaneously attack each other on the mainland.

Africa is for the African. No one else.

Africa is lacking a right of return for those in the diaspora, specifically in the US and UK.

Most African countries with the exception of ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) don’t allow for Black Africans to cross borders without visas, but many will allow Asian and European merchants unlimited access to resource rich regions. All while allowing those foreigners to have additional rights equivalent to super citizens while selling out their mostly impoverished populaces.

Africa must go into the 22^nd century standing on its feet, rather than being violated on its knees.

If the African people can’t force treacherous leaders out of office or create economic opportunities in their home countries, they can expect for the rest of the world to continue to close its borders to the African’s fleeing masses.

In recent years Africa’s experienced a brain drain, with the smartest and resource rich people of their countries readily fleeing their home nations given the first opportunity.

In Nigeria running away from their homeland has become so commonplace that there is actual term for it called ‘Japa’.

The rest of the diaspora is tired of waiting for Africa to get its stuff together, and the fact that the motherland attempts to keep Black from the US and UK away only proves that the African people understand that American and British Blacks would come and show the native Africans up on the economic playing field.

Africa doesn’t have much time left; will its next move be its best one?
