We joined fellow Africans in commemorating African Liberation Day / AU Day in Nairobi under the theme "Decade of Return", a call to reflect on reparative justice, reconnect with the African diaspora as the 6th Region, and advance the aspirations of Agenda 2063.
The convening brought together Pan-African voices, policymakers, diplomats, business leaders, civil society actors, and development practitioners to engage in critical conversations on African unity, self-determination, heritage, and the continent's future. Contributions from distinguished Pan-African thinkers, including Prof. PLO Lumumba, Joshua Maponga, Dr. Young Piero, and other thought leaders, emphasized the importance of reclaiming African agency, strengthening solidarity across borders, and investing in transformative leadership.
A key takeaway was the call for young people to move beyond being beneficiaries of Africa's future and become active architects of it. Through civic engagement, leadership, innovation, and community action, youth have a vital role in advancing the Africa We Want.
As we reflect on the gains of liberation and the unfinished work ahead, we are reminded that the vision of Agenda 2063 will be realized through collective action, inclusive participation, and a renewed commitment to African-led solutions.
