Africa

In Africa, we don’t need a common customs union
We don’t need to copy something that exists somewhere else
Everything that has worked elsewhere won’t necessarily work here
We also don’t need external help with our growth and development
We can come up with solutions that work better for us
We can create strong partnerships with each other
We can make it easier to trade with each other
Through abolishing of trade barriers and restrictions
We can use African resources in Africa
And help develop this great continent of ours
We can make it easier to travel within Africa for Africans
We can build interconnecting infrastructure
We can improve governance in our countries
And maybe all of Africa will fully develop and become self sustaining
