can say that 2008 was rich in emotions and surprises.
Apart from the economic crisis, one of the most significant events of this year or even this century is of course in the U.S. election that pitted two brilliant candidates (even if It is true that one was better strategist than the other): John McCain and Barack Hussein Obama . We can thank them knew awaken (to some) and revived (for some) the interest that each of us has in regard to politics and what, beyond U.S. borders. We have, I think, a lot to learn and remember the election which was conducted in the USA. Africa in particular must learn a lesson. Each of us knows that it is easy to hide behind his skin color, ethnicity or other differences to justify a failure.
Barack Obama, mixed race and unknown politician, there is still some time, we proved that any differences should be seen as a resource, an asset. Indeed, this unknown, supported initially by a few people among which his precious wife and girlfriend (Michelle Obama) has attracted and collect not one but several nations whose Congo.Pour do this, he was particularly surrounded the "Best and Brightest" (the best and brightest ) and has exceeded all boundaries of race, sex etc.. Furthermore, it has attracted and inspired confidence in a young, multiracial electorate. Electorate who, through his passion, dedication, enthusiasm and knowledge in new technologies, has been a pillar in this campaign.
Through its openness, Barack Obama understands that the youth and diversity Social are the future and they would help revive the American dream and so proud to belong to a nation reconciled with its old demons. It is true that this election will not fix the race problem but it is a big step toward a future of any racial barrier inhibited.
I call Africans, especially our leaders, to inspire them. In a sense, we can approximate a portion of the American past and part of the African past: our ancestors fought for our independence and our civil rights! A youth, to honor their memory and continue the work of our predecessors and our parents by building our respective countries and by extension Africa.
Youth is the future of our nation , our continent is doomed to a slow and painful death as you know. Now it is time for us to react because excellence exists in every country. It is certainly not easy for all to reach our goals, but nothing is impossible for anyone who wants it. The American election has opened a door to a future in which no hang-over will be judged on their ethnicity, gender etc.. To us to take this opportunity to move forward and we affirm on the international stage.
I urge our authorities to promote our intellectuals whose excellence and expertise just waiting to be supported; ignored all across ethnic, sexual, religious. Let us arm our values and principles and do not forget that unity, peace, respect for others and especially the acceptance of differences are the bases of any company that wants to advance. I do not advocate absolute adherence to the Western system, but I assert that we must find our way and it is not staying attached to ideas as we move forward.
Finally, I conclude by stating one of my favorite quotes that Cornelius was so well written, "to conquer without risk is to triumph without glory." A win is more beautiful when she mobilized all our being and every object as a springboard to success for what does not kill us makes us stronger (According F. Nietzsche) and therefore victorious. I'm glad I attended this incredible lesson that the American people has given us: the election of an African-American President at the head of their State. Today I hope even more, it is true, we will encourage the pen of history to sketch a watercolor surprising for us: OUR DREAM CONGOLESE and beyond our African dream.
