El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar los impactos de las intervenciones externas poscoloniales en la integración nacional y regional de África. Los investigadores emplearon un enfoque de investigación cualitativa y utilizaron fuentes secundarias de datos, finalmente se utilizó la técnica de análisis temático. El documento aborda que las intervenciones externas, a través de la lente de la historia, no son favorables para las integraciones de África. Aunque hay un cambio de superpotencias a lo largo del tiempo, la mayor parte de la posición de África sigue siendo la misma: proveedor de materias primas y mercado para el desecho. Las intervenciones externas siguen siendo desafíos clave para las perspectivas de África en cuanto a la armonización de las relaciones estado-sociedad y la garantía de integraciones regionales. Las fuerzas externas continúan socavando la tan esperada aspiración de África de establecer los Estados Unidos de África. Cualquier potencia extranjera que intervenga, por lo tanto, trae consigo sus propios intereses, su propio sistema de valores políticos, y podría limitar el éxito de la integración de África. Abordar las causas profundas del obstáculo no solo para poner fin a los obstáculos funcionales existentes, sino también para prevenir nuevos ciclos de fracaso. El enfoque debe estar en construir buenas relaciones estado-sociedad, diseñar e implementar una agenda de integración a lo largo de todo el continente, fortalecer la integración regional a cualquier costo posible, y tomar lecciones positivas de las intervenciones externas pasadas y presentes.
