African Unity Is a Myth America Just Exposed It

Let’s call it what it is: a disgrace.
I am beyond disappointed in African leaders, and honestly, the African Union should be hanging its head in shame.

Two African countries, Rwanda and the DRC are on the edge of conflict, and instead of the AU stepping in like a responsible body, we sat there folding our arms like spectators in a cheap drama. It got so bad that the United States had to step in and play referee.

And some people are celebrating this.
Celebrating what, exactly?
Celebrating our failure?

Where Are the So-Called “African Solutions”?

We love to shout, “African solutions to African problems,” but when the time comes to act, our leaders suddenly become tourists. Attending conferences. Taking pictures. Reading speeches someone else wrote.

Meanwhile the continent is burning.
But don’t worry America will come fix it, right?

If this is what African unity looks like, then we are finished.

Let’s Be Honest: The AU Is Sleeping on the Job

What is the AU good for at this point?
Because clearly, resolving conflict is not on the list.

It has turned into a glorified meeting club hotel breakfast, speeches, handshakes, and zero action. Rwanda and DRC have been at each other’s throats for years, and the AU has done nothing meaningful. Nothing.

Then America shows up and suddenly everyone is clapping like children who just saw fireworks.

This Is Not Peace This Is Weakness

How can we call ourselves “brothers” when we need outsiders to settle our fights?
How do we boast about African pride when we can’t even handle our own backyard?

If a continent of 1.4 billion people needs babysitting from Washington, then we should stop pretending we are independent.

Some Africans are jubilating and honestly, it’s embarrassing.
This is like celebrating the fact that someone else had to come clean your dirty house because you refused to pick up a broom.

This is a direct indictment of our leadership.
It shows that African leaders are comfortable with chaos as long as it doesn’t affect their convoy, their hotel suites, and their political speeches.

Rwanda and DRC deserve better.
Africa deserves better.
But until our leaders grow a backbone, outsiders will continue treating us like helpless children.

We Should Not Be Celebrating We Should Be Ashamed

This moment should not inspire dancing or praises.
It should inspire reflection, anger, and accountability.

Because if we cannot resolve problems between two neighboring African states problems happening on African soil, affecting African people, costing African lives then what exactly are we proud of?

America stepped in because Africa refused to act.
And that, right there, is the brutal truth.
