I welcome this initiative and will meet with the Guild Leadership Academy to discuss it further,&#8221; Museveni wrote after meeting Uhuru.<\/p>\n<p>Both Uhuru and Museveni echoed the importance of the Youth in Africa to take the front line and champion for their rights while championing for development.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;young leaders must recognize that this is an independence moment and that you are officially the freedom worriers of this era. You are the last line of defense in the battle to rescue the heart and soul of Africa for the sake of future generations,&#8221; Uhuru emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on the current global landscape, Uhuru noted the shifting dynamics in which developed nations are increasingly inward-focused, leaving Africa to chart its own path.<\/p>\n<p>He urged the youth to recognize this as an \u201cindependence moment,\u201d where they must step up as the last line of defence in the battle to rescue the heart and soul of Africa for the sake of future generations.<\/p>\n<p>The leaders underscored the importance of Africa to stop relying on foreign Aid and create opportunities for themselves by themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The sunset of USAID has forced a level of economic policy introspection unseen in Africa for decades. The situation calls for a serious rethink in the developmental priorities of African Governments,&#8221; Uhuru posed.<\/p>\n<p>President Museveni believes that the four principles; Patriotism, Pan-Africanism, Socio-economic Transformation, and Democracy guide Africa toward unity, economic growth, and sustainable development, moving away from divisive politics of identity.<\/p>\n<p>Also present in the Guild Leaders\u2019 Summit was Uganda\u2019s Vice President Maj(Rtd) Jessica Alupo, who emphasized that the continent\u2019s transformation hinges on their collective commitment to unity, Pan-Africanism, and relentless hard work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Kenya<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
