AKANDA, October 27, 2024 (AGP) – The Movement of Progressive Generations for Gabon officially launched its activities on Saturday, October 26, by installing the members of its executive office, noted the AGP.
Made up of around forty young Gabonese people, this new connection movement aims, according to its founding President, Louis Junior Clemenceau Owanga, “to create civic participation among all generations, to liberate women and promote young people, fight against suffering and all kinds of social discrimination, to promote national skills and talents, to fight against social scourges and to fulfill advocacy and actions. He clarified that “our movement is not a political party and it is not a one-man support committee. “
This movement wants to be a laboratory of ideas and a force of proposals for the construction of a new Gabon.
“For a year, the President of the Transition and his teams have been doing an excellent job. The whole of Gabon is being built, reforms are being implemented. The Gabonese are gradually regaining their freedom and dignity, but we, the generations of progress, believe that we can and must go higher. We intend to fully participate in the public debate, because it is essential that the Gabonese talk to each other and build Gabon together,” concluded Louis Junior Clemenceau Owanga.
Dina Koussou, Secretary General of that movement, emphasized how important it is for young people not to be spectators anymore and to show civil dialogue.
The Akanda meeting was also marked by exchanges and sharing of experiences with the special guest of the event, Mamadou Kebe, deputy president of the Republic of Ivory Coast, and Edou Afane, President of the NGO RGEDD (Gabonese Network for the Environment and Sustainable Development).
They urged the audience not to consider politics as the only way out, taking an example from their entrepreneurial beginnings and their social commitment.
