Many borders in Africa were drawn along colonial lines, and have contributed to ethnic tensions in the decades since. A lot of countries are too small and sparsely populated to develop effectively.
Are countries like Guinea Conakry-Guinea Bissau, Ghana-Togo-Benin, Cameroon-Equatorial Guinea, Senegal-The Gambia open to officially merging ? The borders are mostly porous anyway, aren't they ? #local
