Unity Among Black j
Africans & Artii>African
Unity tor unity sake can often cause greater ills .1
organizations and format leading to greater causes
for suspicion and hatred. Unforunately in Blac^ &
Arab^Amca because of religious differents and hard
geographical situations, togetherness has been hard
to maintain.
EveiKjJiore, African and Arab are looked upon as
mutually exclusive even through African-Arab
countries of Egypt, Sudan, Morocco. Algeria,

Africa, thereby reduces its potential geopolitical
impact by three quarters, while exclusion of Arab
Africa from the rest of the continent reduces Africa's
irppaot by a fourth y
"Still,"there are further attempts to exclude Black
Africa from Arab part by using the Sahara desert as
a type of mason-dixon line.-Then there is racial
termology, whichA you note that I have used, to
divide Black Africa and Arab Africa inspite of the
fact that some of the blackest members of the
continent Eire found amoung the Arab inhabitants of
Libya and the Sudan.
The use of the Sahara Desert as a barier is
interesting. Before colonial rule, the. sub-saharan
9tates of Ghana, Songhai, Mali, Borno and Sokota
had fruitful and reciprocaLeconomic. political-social,
. and cultural links with the Arab states in and across
the Sahara desert. In fact the territory of many of
these "Sub-saharan" states extended well into the
Sahara itself. All the people in question here had
their historical development interrupted by
colonialism. Thus any aim toward unity must direct
itself towards restoring the people to the path oi
their own historical development, whether at first
material or not. Such an organization as OPEC is
serving as a means to pool political, social, and
economic strenths together. Of the OPEC countries
only three, (Iran, Venezuela, and Indon^ia) are not
members of the Afro-Arab group. Among the
biggest oil producers in the world only three (Soviet
Union, the United States, and China) * are not

exports, over 90% of proven oil reserves and over
60%of current oil production. The developed nations^
of the world are heavily dependent upon these
,resourses.=
The developed nations of the world are also
dependent upon this area of the world for a lot oi
' ? strategic raw materials; for example, for over 90% oi
their gold/*md industrial diamonds, 80% of their
v uranium, 70% of their copper, cobalt and chrome,
vast quantities of their iron ore and phosphates, plus
almost all their supplies for rare metals -such as
molybdenum, vanadum, and beryllium. Many
, experts are pointing out that the basis of the wealth
of the "rich nations" is built upon obtaining raw
I materials from the "poor nations".
It is also pointed outrthat^ within the^neo-colonial
structure of power, the strength of the West consists
in its superior technological knowledge as opposed to
~ the Affg^Arab bloc. WhiIe~tKis^bloc can acquire
techological knowledge through the natural process
of learning, there is no equivalent manner in which
the West can acquire oil, iron cobalt, tungsten, etc.
All these figure to give the Afro-Arab bloc an edge in
k the future if unity is focused upon.
