Bennu says: With much shaking and wiggling, African countries are trying their best to shake off colonial powers and their effects from their countries. After years of these Europeans shamelessly stripping them of their resources, preventing trade between African countries, and locking Africans out of deciding their own destiny, another move forward has been made.
The African union is pushing for a free trade agreement with many African countries which will allow them to trade with each other without heavy tariffs that were put in place to block such developments. This will be the largest free trade pact ever with 55 countries, 1.2 billion poeople, and a GDP of $2.5 dollars.
AfCFTA can be ratified if it has a minimum of 22 votes for it. And in April 2019, that mininmum was reached!
This will be a positive step for the African people and the land.
