Why can't all the African nations in the Sub Sahara and southern Africa be one and unite than separate?

The separation didn't work in Africa and most of their ethnic group's culture is gone. Why not be one?


Then Africa will have a better future now.|||Actually, Africans have retained their native cultures even while some have incorporated some European languages and customs into their own practices.





It was the Europeans who created countries as they pleased, putting together different ethnic groups and tribes that used to govern themselves independently and separating people who consider themselves as one into many different countries. Many of the conflicts in Africa today are rooted in how the countries are formed, which people are in it, and the conflicts the different ethnic groups and tribes have in each country along with other things. So these problems will only escalate if Africa is made into one country. Also, what would you propose the national language be? Africa is very diverse in languages, ethnicities and cultures. There would be a lack of unity if Africa became a country and it would be impractical. The continent is so large and contains so many different people that each tribe, ethnic group and language group would want one of their own in power, not someone who doesn't speak their language, doesn't share their religion, doesn't share their culture or values or even their best interests in mind.|||A variety of reasons including, but not limited to : Ethnic group differences ("Tribalism"), cultural difference, desire to remain independent. etc.|||Their a Africa Union that unties all of Africa. It's model after the European Union.
