What are the prospects of having the United States of Africa?

Question

I read in http://www.africanexecutive.com about the proposal to have a United States of Africa to replace the current African Union among others. I had one concern though, given that all other forms of organisations have failed to meet their mandate, what are the prospects of having a workable United States of Africa.
Thanks.

Answer 3

Ethnic differences will be a hindrance to a United States of Africa.

Answer 4
