Our country will be celebrating, the 17th August 2010, his fiftieth Independence Day birthday.
Only our old man, Founder of the Group, Robert Boutonnet, live like « Sogafrican » this historic occasion in 1960.

How long way covered since then, both by our country and by our group.
Cassandres will say that we could do better, afro-optimists will say for their part we done the best we could. Others will lose interest in.
My intervention here is not to be drawing into an argument on this subject, but to say that history is what each of us made.

Like I often told you, forces to build must prevail against forces to harm. It’s the same in currents circumstances. We are just a "pixel" on our common destiny screen, but if each "pixel" is in the service of the global screen, the picture that we will project will be good.

Luck wants that that this birthday coincides with the new ambition for our country: emergence.

I know that I can count on each of you so that, by this will, we will respect our old men and we will build the future. For your part you can count on my determination.

The football world cup 2010, the first organized in Africa, lift up nobleness passions. We must wish that, soon, our country takes part in this kind of competition.
That is force to build too.

Good Independence Day.
