The event is scheduled to last between April 18 and 22, 2018.

“We are working towards creating a continent that respects the rights of all its citizens. Our work promotes values that unite our continent in the principle of Ubuntu which is about unity, self-determination, integrity and accountability,” says press statement signed by Daniel Nwaeze, AYM’s media & communications lead.
