Chère communauté AYGC,

Parmi les communiqués de l'AYGC 2023, deux sont directement en rapport avec la querelle en cours entre les 3 pays dirigés par des régimes militaires en Afrique et l'UA dont 15 membres ont formé la CEDEAO.

1. Les menaces à la bonne gouvernance, à la paix et à la sécurité sur le continent seront éliminées en créant des dialogues centrés sur la jeunesse et des interfaces entre les décideurs politiques et les parties prenantes locales, à travers les approches de l'UA en matière de paix.

2. Exhorte l'UA et ses CER à revoir leur régime de sanctions imposées à ses États membres en cas de changement inconstitutionnel.

Que pensez-vous de la séparation annoncée du Mali, du Niger et du Burkina Faso de la CEDEAO ?

Pensez-vous que la CEDEAO s'est éloignée des idéaux de ses fondateurs ?

Vous êtes tous invités à partager vos points de vues avec nous ici !

Dear AYGC Community,

two of the 2023 AYGC communique speaks directly to the ongoing banter between 3 countries with military regimes in Africa and AU whose 15 members have formed ECOWAS.

1. Threats to good governance, peace and security in the continent will be eliminated by creating youth centered dialogues and interface between policy makers and the grassroots stakeholders, through the AU’s approaches to peace.

2. Urges the AU and its RECs to review their sanctions regime imposed on its member states in instances of inconstitutional change.

What do you think of the announced breakaway of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso from ECOWAS?

Do you think ECOWAS has drifted from the ideals of its founders?

AYGC 2023 Event Highlights!!

When the young dancers from the AYGC African story telling night needed to connect with delegates, a bird whispered to them that our diasporans from Nova Scotia Canada needed to bond with the soil more than anybody. So one by one, they were ushered unto the dancing floor.
One thing was clear, they did not disappoint much to the admiration of the crowd.

Celebrating Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day! 🇬🇭
On this historic day, we remember the visionary words of Ghana's founding father, Kwame Nkrumah. His wisdom continues to inspire us as we work tirelessly at Youth Bridge Foundation to bridge the gap for positive youth development.

Nkrumah's words remind us that the seeds of freedom, once sown, can grow in unexpected places. Our mission is to nurture the seeds of potential in every young person, cultivating a future where opportunities flourish and dreams become reality.

Join us in honoring his legacy today and every day. Together, we'll continue to sow the seeds of empowerment and positive change for our youth.
