Ouagadougou: The Two Hours for Us, Two Hours for Kamita framework, through its national coordinator, Bayala Imotep, invited, on Friday, African people to recharge their batteries and revisit history of African civilization.

This Friday, July 19, corresponds to the first day of the year 6261 of the African Kamit calendar, which according to Imotep Bayala, is an invention of the ancestors of the black continent.

For the occasion, during the closing of the 9th edition of Sankoré universities, the national coordinator, Mr. Bayala invited Africans to take ownership of this calendar.

For him, we must equip ourselves with our own time markers for the construction of the nation state in Africa.

Like the Chinese calendar, 4722 years old, that of the Ethiopians, 2016 years old and the Muslim calendar, 1446 years old, all centered on the cultures of their people, with the kamit calendar, Africans must have their own cultural identity, he argued.

If others exist with their singular identities in the universal, why m
ust black people undress theirs to modernize?, asks Imotep Bayala.

Regarding his concern, the Minister of State, Minister in charge of Communication, Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo, will say that it is up to Africans to build new paradigms of reflection and organization through governance choices that take into account the values ??and ambitions for endogenous development.

According to the minister, Africa as the cradle of humanity has every possibility of reinventing itself and resuming its former place. But this requires knowledge of oneself and of what those who preceded us have brought to the rest of humanity.

For this, Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo called for the general reinvention of African society, particularly agriculture, education, justice and the economy.

‘We have the obligation and the mission to reinvent a new society,’ he said.

The Minister in charge of the Civil Service, Bassolma Bazié, for his part, invited the authorities of the countries to lead this fight for societal rebuilding, despite
all geopolitical constraints.

For him, all good reforms at the level of society take place through pain and suffering.

The minister also called on students to better educate themselves to avoid falling into what he describes as a false narrative that ignores African cultural values.

The Minister in charge of National Education, Jacques Sosthène DINGARA, representing the Prime Minister, underlined the importance of teaching African history to young people. According to him, this approach is essential in the fight for national sovereignty and endogenous development.

He recalled that Africa was the cradle of great civilizations, and that it is crucial to transmit this heritage to future generations to inspire and guide them in building a better future.
