#4 The Arabs tried a United Arab Republic which failed : they at least had religion and ethnicity going for them. How are you going to weld hundreds of hostile tribes with scores of languages into a single unified state? Even the EU is having major problems, and the Europeans have had 60 years of relative peace and prosperity to attempt the joining. Ethiopia is not about to join any organization that allows Somalia and Eritrea to continue to operate the way they do. And does anyone truly think that the Congo region will be peaceful in their lifetime, excluding a huge epidemic that kills off the combatants or massive outside military intervention? This is a pipe dream, spun by someone who had more money than sense.
