An AI-generated video of G7 leaders and other global figures performing We Are the World has gone viral, portraying a vision of unity and peace. While the concept has been praised, the absence of African leaders in the vocal lineup has reignited discussions on Africa’s marginalization in global affairs.
Despite being the world’s richest continent in raw materials, Africa remains sidelined in major global initiatives. This highlights the urgent need for African leaders to assert their presence, push for economic integration, and adopt strategies like a singular African currency to strengthen the continent’s global influence.
While fictional, the video serves as a reminder of what true global cooperation could look like—and the changes still needed to achieve it.
