The process of the project's realization suggested the continuing asymmetry in the balance. [fact]
Understood in this sense, Eurafrica actually exaggerated the gap between the two continents even as it combined them in a single term. The process of the project's realization suggested the continuing asymmetry in the balance of power. Despite Senghor's demand that "Eurafrique cannot be created without the consent of Africans," the presence of Houphoët-Boigny was the exception that proved the rule. The Treaty of Rome negotiations and debate in the French National Assembly about the treaty in 1957 happened otherwise without the presence or participation of African delegates.
