_Le Monde Diplomatique_ Sept. 2000 has a full-text article
relevant to our discussion:

'Would a United States of Africa work?' by MWAYILA TSHIYEMBE
http://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/en/2000/09/12africa

'In July, in Lome (Togo), the Organisation of African Unity
summit approved the act establishing an African Union which
should eventually replace the OAU. But the dream of a United
States of Africa can only become a reality if a new model of
multinational state is adopted, based on a social and
democratic pact and rooted in Africa's own traditions.'
