President Hage Geingob says he has no doubt that a better future lies ahead for the African continent. In a statement to mark Africa Day, Dr Geingob said Africans are celebrating the rich and glorious history of triumph and recognise the progress made over the course of almost six decades of freedom. Africa Day, the President says, remains a key moment in the history of the continent since it marks the founding of the Organisation of African Unity in 1963, a towering institution that has been pivotal in the decolonisation of the African continent. According to the United Nations Human Development Index, the majority of African countries have made significant progress in education, health and other social sectors since the year 2000. President Geingob urged Africans not to become complacent because a lot of hard work lies ahead to build a prosperous and inclusive Africa as espoused in Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want. He said the long march towards economic emancipation is incomplete and requires even more dedication than the fight against oppression. The President also reaffirmed commitment to the solemn decision taken by the African Union in 2013 during which the Assembly of the Union pledged not to bequeath the burden of wars on future generations.
