Region 6: The African Diaspora
The African Union regards the African diaspora as its sixth region: peoples of African origin living outside the continent, irrespective of citizenship and nationality, who are willing to contribute to the development of the continent and the building of the Union. The Six tracks it through four hubs: the Caribbean, North America, Latin America and Europe.
