ACCRA, Ghana (Reuters) -- Supporters of the immediate creation of a federal state stretching from Cape Town to Cairo waged a fierce debate at an African summit on Monday with leaders who want much slower integration.
The African Union summit, on its second day, got down to heavyweight discussions on its only agenda item -- the creation of a United States of Africa.
While almost all the 53 member nations agree with the goal of African integration and eventual unity, most of the summit leaders, led by South Africa's Thabo Mbeki, believe this must be a gradual process.
