Allocution de Son Excellence Monsieur Azali Assoumani Président de l’Union des Comores, Président de l’Union Africaine, A l’Occasion de la célébration de la Journée de l’Afrique. African Union Le 25 mai 1963, l'Organisation de l'unité africaine, l'OUA, sortait du baptême d'ici à Addis-Abeba, en Éthiopie Soixante ans plus tard, en ce mois de mai 2023, comme chaque année, nous célébrons le génie créateur des pères fondateurs qui, dans leur panafricanisme, ont jeté les bases d'une Afrique à construire. Pour résister à l'épreuve du temps, cette construction devait s'appuyer sur des valeurs partagées solides, dont la plus fondamentale s'incarnait dans la quête collective de liberté politique, de paix et de prospérité sociale.

Celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Organisation of African Unity and 20th Anniversary of the African Union 25 May 2023 Addis Ababa Moussa Faki Mahamat Sixty years later, in this month of May 2023, as every year, we celebrate the creative genius of the Founding Fathers who, in their Pan Africanist spirit, laid the foundation for an Africa to be built. Thus, during the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the OAU in 2013, our leaders, by adopting Agenda 2063, coupled it with an ambitious project, that of "Silencing the Guns by 2020" in order not to leave to the future generations the burden of war and insecurity. I do not belong to the intellectual school of Afro-Pessimism but on the contrary to that of an optimistic but realistic Pan Africanism at the same time.

Second Continental :Report on the Implementation of Agenda 2063 African Union In order to achieve equitable and sustainable socioeconomic development over a 50-years period, Agenda 2063 is the continent's development strategy plan. Through the implementation of ten-year implementation plans, the continent hopes to realize this goal. The first ten years of Agenda 2063's implementation, from 2014 to 2023, set forth a number of objectives for the continent to accomplish at the national, regional, and continental levels. In light of this, the African Union's policy organs tasked the African Union Commission (AUC) and African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD) to coordinate and prepare biennial performance reports on Agenda 2063 in order to monitor the organization's progress toward its objectives.
