Grand finale
+
The 50th Anniversary provides a unique opportunity, and comes at a moment when Africa is on the rise, and must therefore build its confidence in its future.
To reach this tipping point, will require unity, creativity and resolute action.
The 1963 generation fulfilled their mission of liberating our continent and starting the integration project.
Building on this, the generations of 2013 must define their mission, and act to realize this mission, in the shortest possible time.
