Alkebulan
Hail! United States of Africa-free!
Hail! Motherland most bright, divinely fair!
State of greater nationhood thou hast won,
Born of truth; mighty thou shalt ever be.
A new life for the race is just begun.
In the heart of an ambitious vision lies the United States of Africa, a dream shared by a diverse group of visionaries dedicated to uniting the continent. These activists, scholars, and leaders strive to overcome political, cultural, and economic divides, advocating for a unified Africa that stands strong on the global stage. As they delve deeper into their mission, they confront the stark realities of entrenched conflicts, colonial legacies, and diverse identities. Despite their unwavering passion and tireless efforts, they grapple with the profound realization that forging a united Africa may be an elusive ideal, yet their journey fuels a powerful dialogue about cooperation, solidarity, and the future of the continent.
