ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Eurafrica

Okay kiddo, so you know how we live in different countries? There are some big groups of countries that work together to try to solve problems and make things better for everyone.

One of those groups is called the European Union, and it's made up of lots of countries in Europe that decided to work together. They share some rules and laws, and they help each other out if there's a crisis.

But some people think it would be good if the European Union worked more closely with some countries in Africa too. They want to work together to help improve things like trade (which is when you buy and sell things with other countries), and make it easier for people to move between Europe and Africa sometimes.

This idea is called "Eurafrica" - it's kind of like a mash-up of "Europe" and "Africa". People hope that Eurafrica could help both continents be happier and more successful. But it's still just an idea right now - people need to talk more about how it would work and if it's really a good idea first.
