Abstract : It is more than obvious that continental African integration is the one and only solution for the economic development of African countries. It is with this vision in mind that the African Union (AU) has seen fit to implement its ultimate project in this direction. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)1 , whose negotiations began in began in 2015 and officially launched three years later, on May 30, 2019. It would be the AU's main mechanism for improving the quality and competitiveness of industry, infrastructure and agriculture on the continent. And to increase intra-African trade. But let's be clear: if all this sounds like a very good initiative for African economic African economic emergence, we also need to take into account the factors of economic development factors that fully support the monopolization of international trade monopolization of international trade. It is with this in mind that, with the aim of regulating commercial exchanges between Africans, our study will be based on an in-depth analysis of the the place of Ohada business law2 in the Zlecaf. More specifically, in the legal of the interim contract.
