Neocolonialism: Neocolonialism refers to the continued economic and political influence of former colonial powers over their former colonies, even after independence. It often manifests through unequal trade relationships and foreign control over resources.
African Union: The African Union is a continental organization consisting of 55 member states in Africa. It aims to promote unity, cooperation, and development among African nations while safeguarding their sovereignty and territorial integrity.
