Statement by H.E. Amb. Minata Samate Cessouma, AU Commissioner for Political Affairs on the Occasion of the Celebration of Africa Day

Excellencies,
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen:

It is an honour for me to take part, today, 25 May 2020, in the Africa Day commemoration, which, this year, is celebrated under particularly difficult circumstances for the humanity, due to the Corona virus. This pandemic of COVID19 does not unfortunately spare the African continent.

For centuries, Africa suffered immensely from slavery and colonialism, which contributed to Africa’s underdevelopment.
