Common African currency

There are around 42 separate currencies in Africa. Most of them, tied to the currencies of former colonizers, suffer from foul play and legalized international fraud, carried out by the former masters of Africa. But now, decades since the continent was made at least nominally free from the reign of Western tyrants, it may be high time for the development of a unified, common African currency that will stand firm in the face of financial adversity. Esteemed Professor PLO Lumumba explains how this could be done and what obstacles are in the way.

Common African currency
Lumumba’s Africa focuses on the past and current issues affecting the African continent; Filmed amidst the beautiful landscapes of Kenya and hosted by Professor P.L.O. Lumumba, the show looks at the many dichotomies of Africa: why are some of the economies thriving while others stall; why conflicts emerge and refuse to die down, and why despite colonialism being ‘gone’, it still ruins the prosperity of nations.
