In see also section, there's the Tripartite Free Trade Area (now with links to this page); are these the same thing/development of the one into the other? I'm not totally certain of the relation. Maybe this is even a merge? -- B.S. Lawrence (talk) 03:48, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
It is not the same and thus shouldn't be merged. The TFTA is only agreed between COMESA, EAC and SADC with its own agreement and most important, both have their own provisions for the members that signed and ratified. Even if the AfCFTA will come into force, the TFTA will sustain first of all. Only when all members of the TFTA joined the AfCFTA, the summit may think of terminating the TFTA, but not necessarily. They could even exist side by side forever. As far as i picked it up in Kigali last week, there is no plan yet of officially merging the one area into the other. Same actually applies for the several Regional Economic Communities. Benjasadler (talk) 11:26, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
Also I am preparing something now to expand the article. I will add a little on the history and on the Institutions that will be established. As soon as the Treaty will be published I can add a lot more information. Benjasadler (talk) 12:19, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
Not sure what information should rather be in the African Continental Free Trade Agreement article and what should be in this one. Please help to clarify. Benjasadler (talk) 12:47, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
