In this video, I take on the ambitious challenge of redrawing Africa’s borders, aiming to address historical and ethnic complexities. Starting with Morocco, I propose changes like annexing the Spanish Plazas de Soberanía, creating a Sahrawi Republic, and splitting Western Sahara between the Polisario Front and Morocco. I envision a Free Tuareg Nation spanning Libya, Algeria, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Nigeria, while also recognizing Kabyle independence in Algeria. Libya gets divided into East and West, with the Tuareg region becoming part of the new nation. Sudan sees the creation of an independent Darfur, and I resolve its border disputes with Egypt. I suggest new nations like Oromia, Amhara, and Tigray in Ethiopia, while unifying Somalia with Eastern Ethiopia’s Somali regions and officially recognizing Somaliland. I highlight the East African Federation, made up of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, as a potential superpower. In Zambia, I propose an independent Barotseland, while Namibia’s Caprivi Strip gets annexed to this new nation. Lesotho and Eswatini are absorbed into South Africa, and Angola’s Cabinda becomes a city-state. In Nigeria, I grant independence to Biafra, while Ambazonia breaks away from Cameroon. The Sahel Confederation combines parts of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso into a united entity. I also consider splitting North and South Kivu in the DRC, creating a Tibesti state in Chad, and addressing movements like Casamance in Senegal and Western Togoland in Ghana.
