And I think until it is definitely coming by then like Broadband speed is still lagging behind the most pressing issue facing after today is leadership. Most of our leaders are average age of 64 convention age of 19 and Country. So you can more young people into leadership. We need to apply radical thinking rematch and everything and use technology to transform the country where I can write better than the people of the African continent. He does not talk about impact, but also not just the talk, but actually the implementation of it.

I think it'll governance leadership people who I put some in places and and seats in order to change our future will it'll be about the country was the place so I hope Download musically. Pick up cuz we have everything we saw says talents is about leadership that is not politically recognized maybe because of that doing so well, but right now at this very moment because we are on the right thing because we have a long time like we are being targeted by those who were at first dealing with piracy and that has been Stamped Out. So now it's human trafficking smuggling and the encroaching on Somaliland.

They still a lot of poverty and I think we do need to do an all-black in that area, but it's definitely a group work and we will need to come together to Define patricians. I get hung up poverty and malaria. The main challenge is the reason you see how do we how do we prepare ourselves for a future shop and ensure that domestically and intends Eclipse? We are strong enough to keep building. We really need to make sure that the areas that are being destabilize are actually re-stabilize because whatever an issue happens, it was like whatever it is, you see that there's a regional instability. And so I think we need to focus on Regional Solutions me to focus on time African Solutions the most pressing issue that Africa is facing right now.

He's probably climate changed. I mean 60% off of today's announcement folder farmers and today that's still the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. They're still at the front signs. It is important that we step up and make sure that we said what have we got to continue being the global solution provider to environmental challenges and to also make sure that Evolution Africa has that pension provider and the continent that is you know, changing and shipping that Narrative of building resilience to The Climate crisis. We did not break down gender norms and allow women to fly with holding back our most powerful resource, and that would be most tragic thing.
