Pan-Africanist Movements in Egypt: Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century

Pan-Africanism has been a recurring theme in African political discourse since the mid-19th century, with Egypt playing a pivotal role in its development and application. A qualitative approach was employed to analyse existing literature on Egyptian Pan-Africanism, focusing on academic publications and policy documents from the last decade. Egyptian Pan-Africanists must navigate these challenges by seeking greater integration into national political processes and fostering inter-faith dialogue to address ideological discrepancies. The Egyptian government should establish formal partnerships with Pan-Africanist organizations to ensure their voices are heard in policy-making. Additionally, promoting cross-cultural exchange programmes can help reduce internal conflicts.
