Africa creates TFTA - Cape to Cairo free-trade zone

African leaders have agreed to create the continent's largest free-trade zone, covering 26 countries in an area from Cape Town to Cairo.

The deal, signed in Egypt, is intended to ease the movement of goods across member countries which represent more than half the continent's GDP.

Since the end of colonial rule, governments have been discussing ways to boost intra-African trade.

The poor state of roads, railways and airlines have made it difficult.

Three existing trade blocs - the Southern African Development Community (Sadc); the East African Community (EAC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) - are to be united into a single new zone.

These are the kind of news we should be hearing, not some block headed despot who doesn't want to leave post. And i am exzpecting the ECOWAS to tow the same line and kick into full gear to ensure an upsurge in regional trades. The block seem dead to me. They have to turn the tides, and Buhari must lead the way in this regard.
We dont have to sit and wait for the 'white gods', that will never help meaningfully to arrive at your dreams.

One step at a time, Africa must rise NOW!

Ecowas is a lost cause. This slum regional entity is on a French tow truck. Most of the presidents can't do anything good expect connive to overthrow any leader that does not fit in the French neo -colonial agenda.

ecowas can be revived with more "Africane" commitment from its leaders. We should avoid the aids that bites. And push for a common trade and financial zone.

You are very correct. France is more or so a saboteur, whose end game is the contineous impoverishment of the African continent, to dependently rely on west.

But i think the Ecowas project can still be revertilize, depending on the role Nigeria would play. As for the rest of Africa, we can't afford to waste any further time, we just have to move.

If we as the people are the decision-makers. Unfortunately we are NOT,
and the majority of those who are ruling the land are fools.
