Abstract
Regional economic integration is a phenomenon currently under study and attention, given its importance in achieving economic recovery and the well-being of peoples. African countries have paid attention to this solution due to their deteriorating economic conditions, particularly through sub-African organizations. This is what we will attempt to address. However, before doing so, it is necessary to briefly address the theoretical framework of regional integration

Specialists note that the state has not yet transferred part of its powers, part of its sovereignty, or part of its citizens' loyalty to the regional or international organizations to which it belongs, unless doing so temporarily serves its interests.

Some consider political union a form of economic integration. Along with economic union, a joint parliament and other institutions are formed to achieve the sovereignty of a single state. However, others believe that this type cannot be considered a form of regional integration because it may not be linked to any economic motive, such as the unification of East and West Germany in 1990.
