History

AUF was formed in August 1996. The AUF was founded by Dan Kashagama, a journalist and political organiser. The AUF advocates for transformation of Africa into a federation, with the Pan African Parliament as the highest government, overseeing key institutions including a single currency, and one all-African army. The AUF promoted the creation of the African Union, and continues to advocate for an end to neocolonialism. It has also been active in campaigns against the abuses by the diamond industry, weapons traders, and unfair terms of trade in the coffee industry.
The AUF, also known as the African Front, consists of a worldwide network of supporters, who believe that Africa must be unified into a federation as a means of securing peace and an end to wars and poverty. Although most members of the AUF are Africans, membership is open to non-Africans.
Following the creation of the Pan African Parliament, the AUF became the first All-African (continental) political party. Several PAP members are also members and supporters of the AUF.
