For 60 years, African leaders have debated one question:
Can Africa ever be truly united?

In this episode, we break the story into four clear chapters , from Nkrumah’s radical dream of a United States of Africa, to the ideological clash between the Casablanca and Monrovia blocs, to the long, painful years of the OAU, and finally the rise of the AU and Africa’s future.

You’ll learn:

• Why 1963 was the first big turning point for African unity

• How foreign powers, coups, and weak institutions derailed the project

• Gaddafi’s controversial push for a single African government

• Why AfCFTA, the AU Passport, and Africa’s youth wave could still change everything

• And whether a united Africa is still possible in our lifetime
