as long as we avoid unification from the platform of colonial governments, as long as any and all connections to the colonial past are erased within the new Africa, starting with the 1885 border divisions, there will be no negative comebacks to haunt our progeny in the future.

If you look at any other part of the world/ China/ USA/ Europe/ the former eastern block countries it has resulted in war or a few of them to establish a "natural" order or a politically unified land mass.

I cant see how Africa will avoid that pitfall to acheive your above aim. How will you convince Nigerians for example to share their oil deposits within a West African regional block. Call me a pessemist but I can see a big problem. It would take Imhotep himself to promote peace in such varied interests. How would you resolve / negate this. ( I dont think it can be by the way).
