Ruto Advocates for Borderless Africa to Empower the Youth

President William Ruto has urged young individuals to seize the opportunities presented by a borderless continent.

During the annual Youth Connekt Africa Summit, President Ruto voiced his confidence in Africa's abolishment of visa restrictions and the facilitation of unrestricted movement for both individuals and commodities. The summit, themed "Youth Innovating a Borderless African Renaissance," was hosted at the KICC in Nairobi on Saturday. President Ruto emphasized the importance of constructing a new Africa, founded upon self-confidence, advancement, and effective problem-solving strategies.

The President lauded the current generation for their remarkable talent, inventive spirit, vibrant energy, and strong connectivity. Moreover, he voiced Kenya's unflagging endorsement of the African Continental Free Trade Area, an initiative striving to establish a borderless market for entrepreneurs and enterprises. During his address, the President emphasized that the notion of visas was first introduced by Europe, serving as a reminder to the audience.

The Head of State mentioned Europe as an example of a borderless region with a population of 450 million where 27 countries allow entry without visas. In October, President Ruto called for a shift away from opposing powers of North vs South and East vs West and highlighted the importance of mutually beneficial partnerships, the exchange of technological know-how, and the equitable movement of capital.

The President highlighted the vast opportunities for sustainable development in Africa, lauding Africa's ample resources and thriving young workforce. He remarked that Africa beholds the biggest untapped reusable energy potential as well as the youngest and the fastest developing human capital.

“We have the world’s biggest untapped renewable energy potential. Ours is the youngest and fastest-growing workforce and human capital. Sixty per cent of the world’s best solar potential is in Africa.” he said.

Ruto has kins folks across Africa such as the Nigerians! He is associated with the renowned world criminals like the Igbo of Nigeria who married Ruro’s daughter. Ruto wants to remove the borders so that his kins in Nigerian can easily conduct corruption for Ruto across Africa! Nigerians are known scammers across the globe; and so is Ruto!

@ a girl toto,I will ignore the last sentence.The rest,I wouldn't agree with more. Border less countries make sense if only they are equal or close in economic opportunity, ability, talent, religion, life style,generational gaps,and form of government.
Actually I am impressed.You would do great if you stayed away from balls of any size . Infact better than you did when posting this comment.

As far as having the youngest population that is true and also we do get Sun most of the year.We just need to learn to use more solar and rely less on fossil fuels .I live for the day when the world no longer needs oil and the Arabs will actually have to get off their fat asses and work for their money
