Abstract

Speech by H.E. Leon MBA, President of the Republic of Gabon, on the occasion of the Addis Abab Conference of Heads of African State. H. E. MBA, on his remarks highlighted that, in Gabon the oppressed peoples of Africa always find, as they have found in all your countries, support, both moral and material, and the people of Gabon will afford their asylum and protection, as indeed it already does in some cases. From the time Gabon’s destiny was placed in the hands of its people, we have done everything to avoid haired and paralyzing complexes, to transcend the past and worthily prepare our place in a community of varied but brotherly people. Africa must be to achieve its total liberation. The problem today, however, is to know whether African Unity will be built in patience and continuous effort or rather by a sudden change. at any time, a positive contribution, so that the progress towards African Unity may be the progress of us all together, seeking, at each encounter , what unites and brings together rather than what divides.
