Africans have the lowest enrollment in higher ed abroad so I created a virtual academy for them (us).

 All students in Africa welcome. The academy is to prepare students 12-21 years old for opportunities like scholarships, etc.

It's a highly interactive program with mentors and other services. Lesson topics include college prep, ACT/SAT, funding, etc. Www.ugscholar.org

In order to better unite Africa and ensure the presence of a strong African Alliance, we have felt necessary that Africa should meet here, in the African Union.

Therefore all delegates including Liberia, Zimbabwe, Sudan, and others have been invited

Let's get this party started. Africa's fucked up, yo. How about we get to fixing that? Let's rekindle the spirit of international cooperation.

It should be noted this subreddit is ready to once again take its place as diplomatic hub of Africa.

I think we all forgot to leave the African Union anyway, so we've got reasons to be here too.

A simple question, should they get a vote per member state, or rather as the Federation?

The East African Federation was given one vote, and the United Arab Republic one vote as well, in the past.

Another question, is anyone missing who has a claim in Africa, excluding Morocco?

Lastly, does anyone want to be a moderator to help with the upkeep of this sub, keeping submitters up to date?

[Forrestal vs. AuthorTomFrost on 3rd world military Industrial Capability 2015-08-09 (2034-08/10)](https://www.reddit.com/r/worldpowers/comments/3g65r3 event_wassoulou_federation_aerospace_research_2034/ctw05rq)

Forrestals Rationale The African Problem

 
TLDR:

Ruling: All Current generation, [...] aviation, blue water military shipbuilding, armoured vehicles (tanks), [...] and other forms of sophisticated industries are hereafter deemed as blanket unrealistic in all unindustrialised third world nations. This includes but is not limited to Sub-Saharan Africa (South Africa potentially excepted),...

 
And the rationale ending:

Africa is making enormous strides. [...] But the region needs to learn to walk before it can run, and to run before it can fly. Unfortunately, this game only goes to around 2060, which means that we won't see the latter.

 
I expected there would already be a topic in this sub. That ruling seems to be a game-breaker for the whole continent under the mantle of realism. Does anybody still care?

Several important african nations are leaderless, and as we saw with Morocco/Spain, many foreign imperialistic nations lust for those lands.

 
Just now the United Kingdom tried to annex Egypt under some weak pretext about monarchy, with UKs leader stating that "A united Africa is like a united ward of late stage cancer patients.".

We cannot let this happen.

With Iran and Iraq both ramping up their rhetoric against the UAR, we fear that this is only a pretext for full-scale invasion with help from their Spanish allies in Kurdistan.

We Africans need to show our readiness to stand shoulder to shoulder with the UAR if any attempt at invasion is made. Whatever our relationships with the UAR (and Angola's have not always been the best,) they have been far better neighbors than the jihadist governments of Iran and Iraq would ever be.

See this thread in WP.

This is a legitimate, straight-up deal and directly addresses the bank's reason for existing. Come get free growth.

In 2031, the Bank for Growth in Africa had a ton of money dropped on it and started the Water For All People project. This is a massive project to literally end water insecurity it Africa. It's expected to cost at least US$100 billion.

The program will be run by President Frio once he retires this year and is expected to touch every nation in Africa to some degree. And, while it's still going to be an Angolan asset, it officially detached itself from the Angolan government and will be focused entirely on bringing water and only playing politics where it suits that mission.

As much as Angolan politics allow, I'm going to switch my primary in-game focus to the Bank and keep it there for probably 10-12 years (or until things go completely tits-up.)

Once we get a full peaceful year, I'm going to ask the mods to give Africa a special growth bonus for this.

(My apologies for tagging from an out-of-date sidebar.)

Seriously. We need to figure out what the hell it is we all want to achieve. Aksum is supporting the sanction for now but this is subject to change. We all need to talk and come to some kind of goal.

[M] Also a humble request to get my member list thing changed from Eritrea to Aksum

Africans for too long have been ruled unjustly by Western Europeans, and though we believed that period of tyranny had finally ended, it apparently has not.

It may be true that Morocco is not our member, and it might not inherently be our responsibility to take action against the Spanish in any way possible. But in principle it is absolutely necessary.

I am more than willing to commit as many of my forces as I can to such a blockade, but even that will not be enough. I call to you to help me as much as humanly possible, so we can show Spain that no African nation will ever again submit to the imperialist tendencies of another nation.

Angola calls for all African nations to impose economic sanctions against Spain and Morocco over the Cordoba Accord.

Are we going to allow the Spanish government, ruled by Christian fundamentalists, to annex the Islamist Morrocan nation, which is different from them in literally every aspect.

The reason behind this Spanish movement is obviously their imperialist motives, which ofcourse, although their claim on the Canaries is just, became clear in that debacle. That paired with a mistaken nostalgia for "Cordoba" which is now a dusty Spanish ciety set behind economically, that carries nothing of the former glory in the older Caliphates.

That is why we request you to join us in announcing an ultimatum to Spain, that we may discourage them from going through with their plans.

Solutions to the following main questions:

• How will we make sure that all parties take part in discussions?

Organised sanctions against those states who obviously ignore all diplomatic efforts

• How will we decide who is the mediator?

A neutral state with no interests in the current affair at hand would be the mediator. If such a posiiton is nnot found, then the combined consensus of opposing parties and third parties is the compromise.

• How much input should other nations have?

All input and opinions matter

• How long should discussions last?

Six months minimum until extended by conflicting parties

• How do we choose the best solution?

majority vote+ reasoning by every voter overheard by the mediator

• How do we enforce this solution?

Sanctions advocated by major African powers and other member states of the African Union.

NOW VOTE FOR APPROVAL. ALL OF YUO. FOR PEACE, FOR AFRICA!

With the recent war with CAF, and the tensions raised by the Treaty of Calabar, we need a way to peacefully resolve conflicts. Thus we propose the Council of African Peace and Security, or CAPS.

When a conflict or disagreement arises, the two main parties on each side of the conflict shall be summoned to the council, to diplomatically discuss the problem. A mediator will be selected to make sure the discussions are kept on track and it doesn't turn into a shouting match. Other nations may also have their own input in discussions but only the main three are required to take part. At the end of the discussions, the two parties, and the mediator, will present solutions to the problem.

There are a few things which I'm not certain on, so your suggestions will be helpful. Here are some things to think about:

• How will we make sure that all parties take part in discussions?

• How will we decide who is the mediator?

• How much input should other nations have?

• How long should discussions last?

• How do we choose the best solution?

• How do we enforce this solution?

The nation shall come into existence when the war is over, and Africans AND Arabs will get representation.

For example, a senate house might have 100 Africans and 100 Arabs in it. Everything is required to be equal in this proposed state.

This is a better idea than splitting the nation up as Tchadians can establish a sense of nationalism and pride. Splitting the nation up could cause conflicts, as certain resources are found in certain parts of the nation.

The United Republic of Tchad would have control over all of the Tchad territory, and its capital would be the old capital of Tchad.

It could also bring relations between Africans and Arabs closer, as they will try to work together for the good of their nation.

What do we do with it? The CAF should be surrendering soon, and we need to think of a piece treaty for it.

Please stat what you think we should do with the CAF.

If possible, I say we should remove the CAF from the PSC. Perhaps give the spot to another nation? We would like to have that spot, as we feel that we have improved enough and have contributed a lot to the war. Or perhaps rotating WAC states.

What should the treaty be as well?

The Tanzanian Delegation, on behalf of the East African Federation and our friends around the continent, would like to take a moment to reflect on the barbaric actions of the Central African Federation in relation to its treatment of the Gabonese people.

The CAF, a nation which is plagued by HIV, malaria, rampant poverty and illiteracy would spend its money not on improving the conditions that its own people live under, but on the military and the subjugation of the Gabonese people. Africa has not seen such wanton aggression from a sovereign nation since the royalist regime in Uganda declared war on our peaceful state.

Tanzania was a relatively strong nation one year ago when we were attacked, yet even we needed help from the international community. On the other hand, Gabon is a small and new state without much in the way of infrastructure, few allies and a nearly indefensible border. The fact is the people of Gabon are facing the major threat of a foreign invasion. The CAF is a hulking behemoth of poorly trained soldiers with no regard for the laws dictating war. Their invasion of Gabon would be bloody and relentless.

Thus, Tanzania calls on the African Union not only to stand by the peoples of Gabon, but to condemn the CAF for their warmongering nature and malcontented actions. We must stand together against this threat to regional stability and pressure the reckless government of the CAF to step down and allow real democracy to flourish in this time of uncertainty. Ever since the peaceful nations of Cameroon, the CAR and Chad were amalgamated together, the violent clashes between ethnic groups has only worsened. What was once a hopeful democracy became an isolationist state full of warmongering factions that sought to trounce on the rights of others for its own selfish purposes. And today, as their armies march into the sovereign soil of Gabon, we stand at a crossroads.

No longer can we idly stand by and watch as the Gabonese people are denied their sanctity. The CAF has besmirched the reputation of Africa by denying the protection of UN observers. Furthermore, the CAF has mobilized its military despite calls for peace from various states, they will continue their barbaric invasion of sovereign lands. We have strong reason to believe that the CAF will commit horrific atrocities towards the Gabonese people.

It is with a heavy hand that Tanzania declares we will no longer sit in silence as global stability is threatened. Should the CAF continue it wanton aggression and advance into the sovereign nation of Gabon, the EAF will cut off all diplomatic ties and sanction the CAF along with any state that supports their imperialist actions, should the CAF force our hand, we will not shy away from using force to defend innocent victims. We strongly encourage all states of the African Union to do the same, for with the collective might of our denouncements, we hope the CAF will see reason and allow peaceful and progressive change to transpire.

Let us not simply stand together, but march.

In the last month alone, tens of thousands have died in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi from various causes. The problem is getting far worse. As the Ugandan dictator sits in his palace and throws money into their antiquated military, the people of these 3 nations starve, they are denied basic rights, they are among the least fortunate of Africans and all of this was because a false King took residence in Kampala. His wanton aggression has lead to Tanzanian nation mobilizing its military for the first time in nearly a decade.

We would like to make this clear, Tanzania has no imperial ambitions. We seek not to subjugate our neighbours or see them turned into second-class citizens of a vengeful nation, but rather to see them emancipated. For far too long Africans have lived in service of strange warmongering dictators calling themselves royalty, and Uganda has descended back to this archaic period. It is our duty as members of the African Union to stand up for the people of Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda, whom are voiceless today.

Many will state than an occupation would cause mass bloodshed and infringe on the sovereignty of Uganda, but the fact is should we not act, this false King will continue to harm his people and as Angolan Intelligence has reported, a civil war will break out. We all remember the conflicts in Sudan, the Congo and of course the Rwandan genocide. When Africans fight Africans there is no winner.

We must act not as foreign nations, but as sovereign protectors of this continent. The people of these nations will die en masse if we do not act, the sooner we strike and overthrow this oppressive regime, the sooner an internationally-approved occupation can bring back stability, economic opportunity and institutions to a war-torn region.

We ask the fellow member states to approve of a Tanzanian-lead mission to liberate these 3 states, with military assistance from various nations including Canada and Guatemala. After stability is achieved several months into the occupation, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi will be able to have their own elections and once again become prosperous and safe nations.

This is a matter of haste, for the longer we wait, the closer Uganda gets to an all out civil war. We must protect the innocents, we must remove the threat, we must act. Support this motion.

The topics that will mainly be covered are the Gabon situation and Ugandan crisis, if anyone has any other concerns, feel free to state them.

We need to really discuss the Gabon situation as the whole mess has done nothing but escalate. This is probably due to a lack of understanding of everyone, as there are multiple view points and believes.

In the Central African Federation, or the area of Greater Gabon bordering the Democratic Republic of Dongo (Democratic Republic of the Congo) anti-government rebels are committing genocide.

The Central African Federation claims this makes it too dangerous for the United Nations to conduct an independence referendum in Greater Gabon. They assure they are fighting the rebels, but progress is slow.

The government has rejected any help, and we consider them to be deliberately rejecting the help to slow their own progress and are not doing everything in their power to prevent the murders.

Therefore, the Empire of Sokoyo and East African Federation together request a Peace and Security Council Mandate to intervene in the Central African Federation until the genocide is canceled, the perpetrators arrested and brought before the Hague and the UN referendum can safely be conducted.

May the members cast their vote. It lasts 4 days, or until a majority (3 in favour) is reached.

[Meta]Hello everyone, thanks for inviting me to this sub, I appreciate it :)

As you know Uganda has declared war on Tanzania, which invokes the S/EADP and the EAF's defence pact. So hopefully you all stand by this and help protect Tanzania incase the mods decide to have Uganda invade.

Ultimately my goal here is to eventually push Uganda back so far that we can overthrow the regime, begin a community-based administration for a few years, and then hold an election once Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi are stable.

Please feel free to comment.

They allowed the UN people to come in, which is great, but when they were about to enter Gabon they were denied to enter.

http://www.reddit.com/r/worldpowers/comments/3a46o0/un_un_moves_in_to_begin_referendum_in_gabon/cs96tfs

The CAFs job was to protect them, as that is what they must do if the UN holds a referendum on their land. They were rude and snappy, and seemed to not have cared that the UN probably has to fly a long way to get to Gabon, only to be denied.

He basically went back on his word. His reason is a supposed "war" in Gabon. The CAF has done little to suppress the rebels, and they continue to wreck havoc in Poor Gabon.

The CAF is using that to stall. He wants to hold on to Gabon for as long as he can. I recommend that we take action against him for his actions in the past years, including him going back on his word with the UN. Any suggestions?

Yet another dispute, which needs to be solved for the good of the continent. Negotiate points in here, I shall act as a neutral judge.
