That's a great idea . An AFRICAN franca lingua would be better for us to be linguistically connected to one another. I just know a few words in Swahili: 1.AKUNA MATATA (that's ok/ Alright) ๐๐พ 2. Simba (lion ) Correct me if I am looking wrong ๐

What a great idea! I hope she is able to accomplish this despite the opposition. Years ago there was discussion of making Swahili the {official} language throughout Africa. Sadly, it didn't happen back then. I think it will in the future. Swahili is such a soothing, peaceful language.

Can you speak on the indigenous black people of America? West Africa never sold it's own people to the Europeans they considered the blacks they sold into slavery to be outsiders. There were black Indians indigenous in the North and South America's long before Europeans arrived. It's important for Africans to know the truth about their brothers in America who were robbed of their land, identities, and culture to colonialism.

I would have loved to speak Swahili in high school. The choices we had were Spanish and French. I would have chosen Swahili over either one of them if i had that opportunity being a FBA. That just proves how America kept us divided from anything that was Black , and still do to this day.

<<@j.katura7162
says :
The idea by Colombians vice president Francia Marquez, is a brilliant and creative proposal. If I implemented, the program will enhance greatly, Afro-Colombian cultural interaction and promote South-to-South cooperation. By extension, African diaspora in neighboring Latin American countries i.e, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Panama can also benefit. We must note that Spanish is the second most widely spoken language after English. Therefore when Colombia sends teachers of Spanish, Africans who learn to speak it can improve their commercial, educational and other opportunities with the whole of Latin America. To facilitate Vice President Franciaโs commendable efforts, and to accelerate the implementation of the program, African governments of s Swahili-speaking nations in Africa, should remove entry - visa requirements for Colombians. Conversely, the South American country should do likewise for nationals of Swahili-speaking countries.

There are 54 countries in Africa with over 3,000 languages. Africa is diverse in countries and cultures. Swahili-speaking countries Tanzania Official languages: Swahili, English Kenya Official languages: Swahili, English Uganda Official languages: Swahili, English South Africa Official languages: Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu, Southern Sotho, Northern Sotho, Tswana ... Burundi Official languages: Kirundi, French, English Rwanda Official languages: Kinyarwanda, French, English, Swahili Zambia Official languages: English Mozambique Official languages: Portuguese Malawi Official languages: English Democratic Republic of the Congo Official languages: French Somalia Official languages: Somali, Arabic Comoros Official languages: Comorian, French, Arabic In the 12 countries where Swahili is spoken, only 4 have it as an official language. Even where Swahili is the official language, the English language is the main official and dominant language. This is not going to accomplish anything for Columbians.

I didn't know that the President of Colombia (Gustavo Petro) toured Africa as well, that's pretty cool. Africa will have to make itself relevant economically for this initiative to be seen as worthwhile, otherwise it would be a waste of time. Are the black people of Colombia so anxious to reconnect with Africa? Or is this something that is a "pet project" of the black Colombian intellectuals?
