“The whole message we give you is in line with PAM’s goal of Africa Unity, we must note that, as Africans, we cannot reach where we want while scattered, we must reject colonial stereotypes that Africans cannot achieve anything. We can do everything and we are happy that our youths are listening to this significant message that Africa is powerful,” Umulisa noted.
The UN report released in June 2018 presented about 785 immigrants died from Mediteranée ocean while trying to cross to Europe to seek for survival and among them a big number were youths.
Umulisa advised youth to stay in their countries in Africa as there are many opportunities they need to use for fruitful results.
