After reading about the AUSC, I realized how important it was for me not only as an African, but also as a black female to rise above the ashes and show the world what Africa is really made of. The organization mentions how in modern society the primary resources that Africa has is its youth and students. I could not agree more with this statement because the youth of today has the potential to become the future leaders of tomorrow. As a goal-driven, hard-working, passionate and dedicated individual to see the betterment of my country and African continent as a whole, I would be honored to join AUSC. I believe that Africa could be elevated, I strongly believe that if both the young and old people of this continent came together to develop and uplift it, Africa would be a better place for all who live in it. By joining AUSC, I would develop the necessary skills and qualities to become an even better, wiser and inclusive leader. I believe that AUSC will help me voice out my opinions in a fair-minded way, it will provide me with the necessary skills and knowledge to become a better leader who will not only put the needs of the poor first but would be on a quest to end poverty and corruption. I am an individual who believes that in order to grow a community, one should be part of it. In the true African sense, it takes a village to raise a child.
86. I was really inspired with a summit I attend about Africa, organized by YEMI (Youths Empowerment Manifestation Initiative), and I was told about this great Union;
87. To be part of the team that will provide answers to Africa's troubles. As a young person and Student, I am ready to provide my time, skillset and brains for the betterment of Africa and AUSC is quite the platform to begin my dream on. Africa has more than enough resources to still be regarded as the "dark continent" and be dependent on foreign aids and as youth, we have a role to play so as to give the best to the future generations;
88. I have a passion for advancing the struggle for the youth to start this day to make our future even better. I want to be part of a platform that can enable me raise my voice on issues that affect youth and take part in making decisions on how to go about with them;
89. As Africans, we've been in colonization for very long period but this time everything is changing. To have Africa we deserve but we do not have yet, we have to put together our effort as long as we all need a better future of our continent. I look forward to be a part of that;

Presentations during the 2nd AAFYC 2018:
La Paix et la démocratie Constitue la Clé du développement de l’Afrique
Par Medi MUYISA
Depuis La période où la plupart des Pays Africains ont accédé à l’independance, ces Pays n’ont jamais trouvé la Paix. Nous sommes entrain d’observé plusieurs guerres dans beaucoup des pays et cela Jouant négativement sur le développement.
Mais pour n’est pas seulement parlé de la Paix , Nous devons connaitre que la démocratie est un élément très fondamentale pour le développement d’un pays.
Deux Questions Fondamentales que Nous devons nous poser :
1. En Afrique Nous avons vraiment la Paix ?
2.Les Pays Africain sont vraiment en démocratie ?
Qu'est-ce que la paix?
Qu'est-ce que la paix? A quoi est-ce que ça ressemble? Que ressent-on?
Comment savez-vous quand vous avez la paix ou êtes en paix?
Nous allons créer un poème ou une prière comme une façon de décrire ce qu'est la paix. Ceci est un exemple de CAFOD:
La paix est l'action résultant d'un accord pour mettre fin à une guerre.
La paix est la pose mutuelle bas d'armes.
La paix est l'arrêt mondial de la production d'armement.
La paix est la réconciliation entre les adversaires.
La paix est le changement des cœurs et des esprits des gens qui font la guerre.
La paix est le sourire du réfugié logé suit l'exil de la maison.
La paix est la satisfaction dans le visage de l'enfant qui a faim simplement nourris.
La paix est le retour à l'enfance d'un enfant soldat.
La paix est le respect pour les femmes et de leurs droits égaux en tant qu'êtres humains.
La paix est l'utilisation juste, miséricordieux et compatissant du pouvoir par les puissants.
La paix est l'autonomisation des personnes défavorisées et marginalisées.
La paix est la guérison est arrivé à travers commissions vérité et réconciliation.
La paix est le respect mutuel des personnes de toutes confessions et aucune.
La Démocratie ?
Chacun de Nous a une idée claire sur ces concepts!!!!
Le Pouvoir du Peuple , Par le Peuple et pour le Peuple.
Nous devons Comprendre pour que l’Afrique c’est développe cela doit passer par la prise de Conscience d’abord de la jeunesse et cela en menant des actions contrainte dans la communauté.
Mais la Clé pour tous c’est la Paix et la démocratie
Nous devons bien exercer notre leadership enfin d’influencer positivement et de devenir des faiseurs de Paix.
Le développement fait référence a une mutation technique, Social , démographique ,…
Mais cette mutation n’est possible que s’il y a la paix car il y a une interaction entre ces deux éléments. La stabilité est très importante pour le développent d’un pays car contribue même l’eppanouissement.
Si vous pouvez changer une salle de classe, vous pouvez changer une communauté, et si vous changez assez communautés, vous pouvez changer le monde.
