5 solid reasons why the AUSC must exist
especially here in China.
1- Firstly, from the historical and
political perspective, Africa is the continent that has suffered the greatest
man-made and natural disasters. Coupled with its history of slavery and
colonial servitude, it remains the continent most vulnerable to the
geopolitical schemes of the world powers which has been practicing a policy of
“divide and conquer”. Unable to continue with such servitude and
underdevelopment, African thinkers, philosophers and statesmen started a
pan-African movement to liberate Africa from its chains, the great conclusion
by which total independence and liberation can happen is first by “Unity”.
Africa must unite.
2- Again, for every society to strive,
it must first invest in its youths which represent the future of every nation.
For a very long time, the African youth has been neglected, abused, ignored and
a times manipulated. This youth movement suffered greatly especially during the
1990’s and early 2000s. The youths were left to themselves, to fend, to learn,
to adapt and to grow in this ever fast changing 21st century of
technological and digital mobilization. The major lesson learnt from these
experiences is that African youths can no longer depend on their governments or
international organizations for “cool aid” but must see how to come up with
ideas and projects to better develop its continent. African youths must only
count on themselves to usher in that change.
3- Furthermore, this youth ambition to
achieve the “African dream” of waking up in a free country, free of wars, free
of poverty, free of diseases, free of persecution, free of tribalism, free of
nepotism, free of mediocrity, free of corruption, free of racism and free to be
whatever they want to become “Uhuru”. Uhuru is that Swahili word that embodies
that philosophy of liberation, freedom, autonomy and dignity. It is in this
light that a group of young Africans who have that vision, decided to create
the African Union Student’s Council (AUSC). With the objective of breeding the
next generation of African leaders who want to make our beautiful continent to
be better for what we deserve.
4- Also, due to the difficult
circumstances on the continent. A lot of its youths have gone voluntarily or
involuntarily to other continents. Mostly seeking better opportunities, better
knowledge, better living conditions and maybe some adventure. The reasons are
many as the stars but almost all these students still have a soft spot for
their roots and origins, Africa. If we do not know where we come from, how can
we know where we are going to? This feeling of interconnectedness and
solidarity is best explained by the African humanist concept “Ubuntu”. We are
what we are because of others, therefore we owe a lot to our motherland Africa.
The African diaspora has a major role to play in the development of their
nations. They are but a reflection of their roots, the result of the dreams and
choices of their ancestors which aspires for a better future.
5- Finally, taking into consideration
the current geopolitical and geostrategic position of China in the world. This
is Africa’s biggest trading partner and major investor. There are thousands of
African students in China who want to express their talents and share their
experiences with the motherland. The AUSC can serve as a bridge for this
vibrant and dynamic diaspora that is acquiring knowledge all for the progress
of our continent. The AUSC needs to firmly establish itself in China whereby
students who finish their studies in China and want to continue serving their
continent back home can do so through the platform of AUSC. It is my strong
belief that out of the thousands of universities that host the thousands of
African students, the AUSC can detect talented Africans who can be groomed so
that the motto of AUSC becomes a reality, for the better Africa we
deserve.
After enumerating my vision of the
AUSC in China, I am hoping that I am appointed for this position of which I am
sure, I will faithfully defend.
