Would be hilarious in a comedic kind of way as everyone would be trying to understand their speak.

"Ebonics" is just another name for African-American slang, some of which even white people speak in everyday life, like, "Here's a shout-out", "Come at me", and a few other terms. Nothing weird or strange about it you can't understand.

Have to disagree. Yes, some you can understand, but the majority I would say you're wondering wtf they're talking about or referring to.

And, as the characters are African, not African AMERICAN, there would be no need for them to speak in African American slang. In fact, to do so would be incredibly racist.

They won't.

Diversity in Hollywood is about non-white-male actors/actresses that behave like white male characters, while white male actors behave as retarded or evil nazis.
