Mes chers compatriotes africaines et africains, d’ici et de la diaspora, nous célébrons aujourd’hui avec fierté la Journée de l'#Afrique. J’adresse à chacune et à chacun de vous mes chaleureuses félicitations. #AfricaDay #AfricaDay2022

Nos avancées sont significatives. Il en est de même de nos défis. #AfricaDay #AfricaDay2022

Mais au lieu de brider nos ambitions et paralyser notre action, les défis que voilà doivent, au contraire, revigorer notre foi dans notre destin commun et solidaire. #AfricaDay #AfricaDay2022

J’appelle à la mobilisation générale de nos énergies et de nos intelligences pour bâtir ensemble l’Afrique de nos rêves #AfricaDay #AfricaDay2022

L’Afrique des routes, des autoroutes, des chemins de fer, des ports, des aéroports, des centrales électriques, des fermes agricoles, des produits pharmaceutiques et médicaux, des parcs industriels et numériques ; de la création artistique et culturelle et du génie sportif.

J’invite particulièrement notre jeunesse à porter et amplifier le message. #AfricaDay #AfricaDay2022

Happy #AfricaDay! Let’s support the enormous potential of women and girls on this dynamic continent and intensify our efforts to deliver the healthy, peaceful, and prosperous #AfricaWeWant.
