On this World Africa Day, we celebrate the founding of the Organisation of African Unity on May 25, 1963. It is a pivotal moment to renew our commitment to African integration, a top priority of the government of H.E.M. Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye. Together, let us build a united, strong, and prosperous Africa.Africa has long been a beacon of rich culture, diverse people, and vast resources. However, the continent has also faced its fair share of challenges, from colonialism and exploitation to conflicts and underdevelopment. The Organisation of African Unity was established to address these challenges and to promote unity and solidarity among African nations.Over the years, the organisation has evolved into the African Union, with a renewed commitment to promoting peace, security, and socio-economic development on the continent. It has also emphasized the need for African countries to work together and speak with a common voice on issues affecting the continent internationally.Under the leadership of H.E.M. Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye, the government has made African integration a top priority. Through regional economic communities and initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area, efforts are being made to promote economic integration, facilitate trade, and boost development across the continent.The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of regional cooperation and solidarity, and the African Union has been at the forefront of addressing the health and economic impact of the pandemic on the continent. This has further reinforced the need for a united and coordinated approach to tackle common challenges.As we commemorate this World Africa Day, let us not only celebrate the progress made, but also reflect on the work that still needs to be done towards a more integrated, prosperous and self-sufficient Africa. This includes addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, and conflict, and promoting good governance and the rule of law.It is heartening to see the commitment of the government of H.E.M. Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye towards African integration and development, and it is crucial that this momentum is sustained. We must continue to work towards a more united and prosperous Africa, not just for the present, but also for future generations.In conclusion, on this World Africa Day, let us remember the founding of the Organisation of African Unity and honor all those who have worked and continue to work towards a better Africa. Let us also renew our commitment to an integrated and prosperous Africa, in which all her people can thrive
