The Union of African States, sometimes referred to as the Ghana-Guinea-Mali Union, was a loose organization established in 1958 between the socialist governments of Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana and Sekou Toure in Guinea. Mali joined in 1961 prior to its dissolution two years later. The Union was an attempt at building a continental federation of states based in Kinshasa, Congo; though this would fail due to the murder of Lumumba.[1] Among the developments of telecommunication, judicial and transportation agreements were attempts at establishing a common currency, though this never came into fruition.[2]
