 We want to block that whole street and turn it into a bustling haslam bazaar. It is a bazaar of merchandise, connectivity of African youth from the Cape to Cairo, from Lahore to Lagos. Thank you. We are very happy as a ministry this morning to host this breakfast and I want to thank everybody who has found the time to start your day with us. I want to acknowledge his essence beyond Rousseau, who is the ambassador of the Victoria, here in Kenya, and also the grand team of the diplomatic corps here in Nairobi. I want to also acknowledge, in a very special way, Senator Esa, or Kenyuri, our very vibrant, very vibrant Senator for Jaminess. The young people are very happy that you represent them well in the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. I acknowledge also, in a very special way, our partners, our core partners on this youth connect journey, especially our partners from within the UN ecosystem. I want to acknowledge the representation of Dr. Jackson, who is the UN president coordinator here in Nairobi, and of course my very good friend and brother, Anthony, who is the head of the UNDP here. Together with other partners within that UN ecosystem, and of course besides the UN, we have many other friends, partners here, and I want to acknowledge you all and to thank you for finding the time to join us this morning. So, let me also thank various segments of government, the various leadership levels of our ministry, our team that is made here by our political secretary responsible for youth affairs, Isma. Together with all your colleagues, the CEOs of our area's units, and of course our team from our Stealth House, led by Jamon here. I certainly thank for finding the time to be here with us. I also acknowledge our young people, we have a number of young people that are generous this morning. These events are about our youth, this event is by, for, and of the youth, by, for, and of the youth. It's by the youth, it's meant to be led by the youth, it is for the youth because it's their gender for the youth and it is of the youth. And so I welcome all our young people who have found the time to join us, to join us this morning. Finally, let me acknowledge the team that is driving the whole youth to connect the Africa 2023 summit preparation. We have a team that we have put together, a team of the steering committee, a team of the local organizing committee. We have a team that is already coalescing around a formation that is going to drive this event as the secretariat. I want to thank all of you for the time that you have already put in to bring us this far. I will also commend the youth connector, Har, in Tigali, with whom we are working very very closely as we prepare for this important event. Two people a couple of months ago, we met, of course then we also acknowledged. Then we acknowledged our very good partners from the IYF, the IYF International Youth Organization. Thank you very much, thank you very much for joining us for the IYF. The IYF is such a special partner for us and with whom we are doing some very progressive and revolutionary programs for our young people, such as SANA IYF. A couple of months ago, we met and unveiled our journey to youth connect Africa summit 2023. We were very clear at that time that this summit, the sixth in the series of this summits, is a unique one in many ways. But most importantly, we decided at that event when we unveiled our journey to the summit. We determined that we wanted to carry everybody along. Common African saying is that if you want to go very far, you have no choice but to walk with everybody. You have to walk with people. And we determined right from the outset that we wanted to go far together. We wanted to go together and we placed partnership at the core of this journey. And today is among a series of activities that we will be undertaking to solidify the partnership towards a successful youth connect. Youth connect is an initiative which should be seen in the context of the African Union agenda for this continent and for our young people. Youth connect has actually been adopted by the African Union as a key platform for realizing the African Union chat. And you know that in the vision to roll out the African Union chat, the African Union seeks yet another platform to realize the vision of the EU. And what is that vision? An integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa created by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena. An integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa. That is the dream of the African Union. And the African Union views the Youth Connect Africa summit for the Youth Connect Africa initiative as an important, a significant platform for realizing this dream of an integrated Africa. Africa, an integrated Africa that is prosperous, that is peaceful and that heavily rests on the agenda of African solutions to African problems. And so, look at Youth Connect as a significant platform for realizing the African Union. And that is why for us as a country, we are very proud number one to be the newest member of Youth Connect Africa, the 32nd member of the Youth Connect Africa. We are very proud to have signed the instruments of accession. Early this year, we are very proud that we now have a full-fledged charter for Youth Connect, Kenya Country Charter. And we are very proud that in the same year that we become the newest member of Youth Connect Africa, we also have the honor of hosting the 6th summit. This is only the 7th summit being hosted out of Rwanda, which is really the path of the idea of Youth Connect. We are very happy that we have this opportunity. We are also very excited with the theme that we have adopted for this particular Youth Connect. Youth innovating a borderless African unison. This theme brings three critical agenda for the Youth of Africa, which we want to fly at this summit in December. It brings innovation and it is a call to action to the Youth of Africa to be the drivers of innovation and to use innovation as a platform to fly Africa to the next level. It rains and we are telling the Youth of Africa it is time to shed off the limitations, the restrictions of colonial borders and look at Africa as one seamless hall where we can innovate, we can think, we can imagine without any restrictions. You can sit in Nairobi and be able to innovate and do business in Asmara, in Eritrea, or in Tembuktu, or in Kairou. We want to use Nairobi as the ignition of this borderlessness and we have trained to borderless Africa. When you look at the African continental free trade agreement, it dreams of a borderless Africa and Africa where three movements of goods, services, people can happen in real times. Not in speeches, in forums, in meetings, but in real times. This Youth of Africa summit is reminding Africa and challenging the young people of Africa that be the agents of this borderlessness, this borderless continent. And then finally, this thing is speaking to a renaissance, a rebuff, a fresh beginning for Africa. So this is a very loaded thing for whichever angle you look at, new, innovative, borderless Africa renaissance. We want a born African, an African that is arriving on the innovation of our young people, but in a manner that defies the restrictions, by this Glesema borders, by Indian borders. Borders that have divided communities, in this East African region of ours, for instance, you have a large population of a community like the Maasai, so you have one segment of the Maasai in Kenya and another segment of the Maasai in Tanzania. One community split by a border drawing valley in 1886 at the south of the Scramble for Africa. You have in this same continent, I mean this same region, you have the eaters of community, for instance. A small portion of the eaters of community in Kenya, a large portion of the eaters of community in Uganda. One people, one language, one culture, one king, they still have a king called the emormor, who sits somewhere in Uganda and every time the eaters of Kenya travel to pay homage to the emormor in Soroksi in Uganda, they have to seek visa to go and pay homage to their king because of a border imagined in Germany. We are telling the Anglico-Africa is about time we brought down these artificial barriers to free movement of goods, services and things. And it is at this summit that we will unleash the reality of a borderless Africa, the license. If that does not excite you to want to be part of this, I don't know what could excite you, honestly. If you are in this room or your partner is listening to us elsewhere and you have resources that you want to invest in a truly African program, a revolutionary African program with impact, with potential to change the mindset on this continent. And if that vision, if that thing does not open your pastures, I have no idea what to do with it. I honestly wouldn't, I don't know what to do with that. The eaters of Kenya, we want for partnerships in a manner that will be beneficial in flying this thing beyond the summit. We want the reality of innovation, a borderless African and an African reminiscence to be re-beyond the summit. And that is why during this summit you will witness certain things that you have not seen in other summits. During this summit, for instance, we are going to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of African youth in a hasla style. The entrepreneurial spirit of African youth with the Kenyan hasla touch. I'll give you an example. We want to block a whole street. Let me imagine a street like, which street would be really good for the hasla street? Which one would you pick? Tomboya Street? Tomboya Street. So let's imagine Tomboya Street. Tomboya Street? Let's imagine Tomboya Street. Where you are standing at this, what's the name of this circle? The circle that is very busy in Matatus. It's called roundabout. It's called roundabout. No, no, no. The one on the other side as we head towards Glock. What would you call that? Kojiya. The kojiya roundabout. So you are standing at kojiya roundabout and then from kojiya roundabout you have a clear view all the way up to the intersection with Rona Nibala. I mean, when you are standing at kojiya you have a clear view all the way to that intersection with Rona Nibala Street. We want to block that whole street and turn it into a bustling hasla. It is a bazaar of merchandise, creativity of African youth from the Cape to Cairo, from land to Lagos. Pretty much across the land and breadth of Africa. And so we will be telling the youth of Africa you have something you really want Africa to see. You really want Africa to celebrate. It could be textiles, it could be a farm implement, it could be a piece of music, it could be a painting, it could be anything. We will give you space to share it with the rest of Africa on our hasla street. Those of you who have been to LA, you have this street. If you've been to LA you've walked down the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But the Hollywood Walk of Fame is not just a walk of fame with the names of the greatest people who have grazed Hollywood. But it's also actually a hasla street. It's a hasla street where you can buy pretty much anything, where you can listen to any type of music and where you can enjoy whatever kind of stands you can imagine. We are creating that here in Europe to allow the youth of Africa to share their creativity with the rest of the continent. And from that we want to create a movement that can unleash this to spread across the whole continent. But we are also using this forum, this platform, to activate another significant agenda that we have every intention of vibing across the whole of Africa. The agenda of youth for climate adaptation. Today you know that there is no greater existential threat to humanity than climate change. We are using this platform to send a message.
