Uhuru Kenyatta Describes African Youth as Continent’s ‘Last Line of Defense’ In Lecture at Makerere University
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has passionately called on African youth to rise as the champions of the continent’s transformation.
Speaking at the second annual Guild Leaders’ Summit held at Makerere University, Uhuru challenged young leaders to view themselves as the final guardians of Africa’s future.
“You are the last line of defence in the battle to rescue the heart and soul of Africa,” he declared, capturing the spirit of urgency and empowerment that echoed throughout the summit.
Reflecting on the current global landscape, the former Head of State noted the shifting dynamics in which developed nations are increasingly inward-focused, leaving Africa to chart its own path.
He urged the youth to recognize this as an “independence moment,” 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.
