The Tripartite Free Trade Area will bring 26 African nations together in the deal that will comprise of 600 million people. The deal covers much of the eastern and southern region of the continent. Below are a few video clips of this developing story.

The agreement, which is expected to be reached next month in Egypt, marks a monumental move for Africa’s economic policies, and how commerce on the continent is affected for years to come. In many ways, the mother continent is already at an advantage because of the enormous supply of natural resources that she possesses. It is a well-known fact that the entire globe has fought over control of the continent because of its resources, which is why there has been a several hundred year-old concerted effort to disenfranchise its natural born Melanoid citizens, and their descendants scattered across the globe.
