Afro-Asia is a term describing the combination of Africa and Asia. The term is often used to describe the solidarity between African and Asian nations when they were acting against European colonialism and later also remaining nonaligned during the Cold War.[1][2] This solidarity was sometimes frustrating for the West when votes were taken at the United Nations.[3]
The major impetus for Afro-Asian solidarity was the 1955 Bandung Conference. However, the solidarity declined due to the 1962 Sino-Indian War, weakening the relationship between the two Asian giants; the division of the African nations into groups such as the Monrovia Group and Casablanca Group, as well as the Sino-Soviet split in the 1960s were other major issues that further split Afro-Asia into competing blocs.[4]
