Among African leaders, several duplicity and ambiguity cases have been identified regarding downplaying the connection between national interests and the pan-African approach. There is much confusion surrounding the concept of “United Peoples of Africa” due to the seeming inconsistency between “I am an African” poetry and the derogatory term “foreigner” or “alien.”
