    the word being unite is so interesting for every one but what we have to see is the place where we are. the questio is who should be the leader of the united africa? gadafi?, meles?,mosovini or what? i don't see any one who can lead united africa. so that it is better to take time and wait the new africa generation will be born. other wise the current afrcan leadrs are too dangeres. we afican people should not belive what they are saying to us!
