        We have to stop perpetuating the false myth that Africa is a monolith, and start embracing our cultural and traditional diversity

        Africa is the home to all Africans, wether those are in the North, East, South or West. Or even diaspora. Come forth & unite.

        If the EU has managed to work properly, then why should the AU not be able to work just as authentic ? We can do it too!

        Hopefully Morocco's return to the Union will function as a means to combat Anti-Black resentments in maghrebian communities.

        We should not regard differences in culture, language, religion or skin color as means to divide the continent.

        The very core of Panafricanism is the creation of a feeling of togetherness among all Africans, regardless of where they're from.

        The concept of the Union is Panafricanism, thus Morocco should be granted the fairness to be regarded as a fellow African state.

        African development can only be achieved through mutual respect and cooperation. Don't use differences in skin color as excuses.
