On July 11 2000 in Lome, Togo, the heads of state and government of 53 African nations signed the Constitutive act to herald the official birth of the African Union.

The birth and signing of this 33 article constitution heralded an historic moment. For a glimpse, it held the hope that a united Africa might finally find the courage and vision to unite in a practical way to solve the major challenges facing its millions of combined citizens.

However this has since turned out not yet to be the case. War and corruption still rages unabated throughout many regions of Africa. Poverty and infectious diseases continue to kill tens of thousands and famine has returned to many nations.

What once was a dream of hope, has since turned out to be a distant memory, long since crippled by the compromise and lack of steel in the words of its original architectural formation.

Instead of being a positive vehicle for change, the African Union has become sidelined. It has become an inept and toothless organisation as yet capable of effectively making quantitative and qualitive positive change to the peoples of Africa.

The future

Is it the destiny of Africans to continue to be represented by documents of compromise and institutions that are ineffectual? Or is it the destiny of the same good people who seek to operate these organisations to reform the constitution so that real power can be ceded by the nations of Africa to a common unity?

This is the purpose of this site. With the greatest respect to the founders of the African Union, with the greatest respect to its current leaders and members, this site is dedicated to its reform and ultimate installation of an effective constitution.
