"..For Africa, the most urgent challenge is to create enough jobs for the continent's youth. According to the World Bank, eleven million young people are expected ...to enter Africa's labour market every year for the next decade. If these young people cannot find jobs, and do not believe in the future, they may be tempted by rebel movements of all kinds, as well as crime and migration. Wherever I am in Africa, I am always struck not just by the number of young people, but also by their energy, their creativity and their talent. We should invest in them, harness their talent and ensure that the next generation of leaders will do better than we have done....
..Ladies and Gentlemen, we have come a long way from the Cold War days. Africa is now part and parcel of the global security architecture. We can and must step up to that role by investing in our people and by protecting rights and not just regimes. If we do that, I am convinced that our future will be more peaceful and secure than our recent past and Africa will exert a powerful and constructive influence within the global security architecture."
Kofi Annan
