Ceding territory and authority doesn’t benefit the constituents of the African Union, which are governments of states. Is it actually that surprising?

- zokier 8y agoProlonged guerilla insurgencies etc typically don't benefit the constituents either (unless you take the viewpoint of them being the crooked type).
- wahern 8y agoPre-colonial borders weren't all static and stable. Redrawing the borders to the status quo ante wouldn't magically erase border conflict. Even if the status quo ante was stable and conflict-free, there have been hundreds of intervening years of shifting alliances.
