Unsurprisingly Wamkele Mene, (SG African Continental Free Trade Area) thinks economic development in Africa would be greatly enhanced by a continental free trade area;
while the model seems to be the ECC (EU), without massive investment in infrastructure to enhance intra-continental transport it looks unlikely to work (as anyone who ever tried to travel East/West in Africa can attest).
The Q. is: can the investment required be engineered, and can it be climate friendly?
