MESSAGE OF THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE AFRICAN UNION COMMISSION ON THE OCCASION OF THE CELEBRATION OF AFRICA DAY ON 25 MAY 2022
Fellow Africans,
Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Continent and in the Diaspora,
On this day of celebration of Africa Day, I am very pleased to express my wishes of health and prosperity to each and every one of you, whether you are from the Islands or the Diaspora.
The date of May 25 has a double evocative power. On the memorial level, it takes us back to the youthful freshness of the first moments of the OAU. At the geopolitical and institutional level, it constantly questions our individual and collective capacity to build the Africa then dreamed of by our founding fathers.
