Africa Needs To Unite, Follow China's Model - Jeffrey Sachs The colonially-imposed division of Africa is perhaps the single greatest reason why the continent remains underdeveloped, despite its large, young, vibrant population of 1.5 billion people, and the abundant resources lying beneath and stretching across its 30.37 million square kilometers of land. In this excerpt from a 2025 interview on the Fidais Podcast, American policy analyst Jeffrey Sachs notes that African unity is no longer a matter of ideals, but a matter of survival! He stresses the importance of African leaders forgoing the old, exploitative path beaten for them by Western powers, and looking to China – itself once colonized – as a new model for sovereign development. With the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) already leading this charge, and a number of African states slowly beginning to read the room, it remains to be seen whether and when the rest of the continent will follow suit.
