Why Africa is on the right trajectory

NAIROBI: On the occasion of Africa Union Day, we celebrate African unity and honour an organisation that has dedicated itself to securing Africa's rightful place on the world stage, to reaffirming the dignity of Africans and to achieving a better life for all the peoples of African descent.

We also celebrate the pan-African visionaries – from leaders such Jomo Kenyatta, Haile Selassie, Kwame Nkrumah and Muammar Gaddafi – to grassroots organisers such as Malcom X and academics such as (WEB) Du Bois, who laid the foundation for the liberation and unity of our continent.
