In his address in a video on Ghana Trends Media on Youtube, President Mahama praised the progress African nations have made over the decades, acknowledging the strides in democracy, economic integration, and regional cooperation. He emphasized, however, that much remains to be done to fulfill the aspirations of the continent’s founding leaders—particularly in areas of peace, security, and sustainable development.
Mahama also urged African leaders to recommit to the core values of the African Union, including good governance, respect for human rights, and inclusive growth. He cautioned against internal conflicts, political instability, and external interference that continue to derail progress on the continent.
Furthermore, the former president called on African youth and civil society to play a central role in shaping the future of Africa. He emphasized that achieving the “Africa We Want” vision requires collective responsibility and the active participation of every citizen, not just politicians.
Mahama’s message resonated across social media and news platforms, serving as a timely reminder of Africa’s shared destiny and the ongoing importance of unity in overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities.
