The final decision on having a continental government will be made in January 2008.

The Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ambassador Seif Ali Iddi, told Members of Parliament yesterday.

He was responding to a question asked by Zubeir Maulid (Kwamtipura, CCM), who had wanted to know whether opinion polls would be conducted so as to gauge public consensus on the African Union idea as was the case with the proposed East African Federation.

Ambassador Iddi said the idea was not new as it had originated from Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, who was supported by many African leaders at that time.

He said that other African leaders such as Mwalimu Julius Nyerere had proposed that the union should be attained on peace meal basis.

`For quite a long time, the matter was somehow neglected, until recently when it was brought back as an agenda by Libya President Muammar Gaddafi. Various committees were formed to determine benefits of a continental government and the ideal time for its establishment,` he said.

He said all African countries supported the idea but there were differences about the timing as to when it should start.

He said a few African countries led by Gaddafi and supported by Senegal, Gabon and Guinea Conakry wanted the Union government to be formed right now.

He said most of SADC and East African countries were of the position that formation of the African government should go step by step and start with strengthening of Regional Economic Communities-RECs and solving internal problems first.

`The ninth meeting of Heads of state agreed on the formation of a ministerial committee which would dwell on the matter and give a report to the 12th council of ministers which will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on January, 2008,` he said.

He said the heads of state would make a final decision regarding the issue.

---Kama, serikali inaundwa, African Union itakuwa na kazi gani tena?

Hii ni njozi tu ambayo kinadharia ni nzuri sana lakini kikweli kweli ni ngumu mno na ambayo haiwezekani. Waafrika wengi kitu kinachotuunganisha ni rangi ya ngozi yetu tu lakini si mambo yote. Kama sasa hivi baadhi ya nchi zina migogoro ya ndani sijui hata kama ni wazo zuri kutaka kuunda serikali moja. Nani anataka abebe matatizo ya wengine?
