He invites Africans living abroad to contribute, each according to their means, to job creation, youth training, investment and the promotion of a fairer image of African countries.<\/p>\n<p>Originally from Senegal and presented as a social entrepreneur involved notably in agriculture and the training of young people and women, Thione Niang places people at the centre of his vision. For him, Africa\u2019s greatest wealth lies first and foremost in its people and in their capacity to mobilize collectively.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the heart of his address, Thione Niang stresses the need to support African success stories. He believes the continent needs \u201ceconomic champions\u201d capable of developing businesses, structuring sectors and, above all, creating jobs.<\/p>\n<p>This recognition should not be limited to the fields that are usually the most visible, such as sport or music. It should also include entrepreneurs, project leaders, people who invest and those who build sustainable initiatives on the ground. Celebrating these journeys, strengthening them and making their work visible can, in his view, encourage others to follow similar paths.<\/p>\n<p>His message raises an essential question for diasporas: how can occasional admiration for African success stories be turned into concrete support for projects that generate economic activity? This may involve funding, advising, connecting people, passing on a skill or simply promoting serious initiatives.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_Political_Independence_to_Economic_Empowerment\"><\/span>From Political Independence to Economic Empowerment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thione Niang places his appeal within a historical continuity. He recalls that the generations of independence secured the continent\u2019s political freedom, despite the limitations and difficulties of that period. The present responsibility, he argues, is now to continue that work on the economic front.<\/p>\n<p>This ambition cannot be reduced to abstract indicators. It directly concerns living conditions: being able to receive care in decent hospitals, study in suitable schools and enable young people to build their futures without being left alone to face everyday difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>From this perspective, the challenge is to bring about a tangible improvement in quality of life. Employment, education, agriculture, health and access to opportunities are presented as pillars of a transformation that must benefit the population.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rejecting_Africans_Putting_Each_Other_Down\"><\/span>Rejecting Africans Putting Each Other Down<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the strongest parts of his speech concerns internal divisions. Thione Niang calls on Africans not to tear each other down, particularly through criticism and insults on social media. He draws a distinction between action and easy talk: he argues that it is easier to comment or express doubt online than to commit to a difficult project.<\/p>\n<p>This point is not intended to prohibit debate or criticism. Rather, it emphasizes the need not to systematically discourage those who are trying to build. In his view, Africa cannot move forward while only half-committed or through constant rivalry: it needs stronger cooperation among its active forces.<\/p>\n<p>Digital platforms now play a major role in how societies see themselves. They can amplify conflicts, comparisons and disparaging discourse, but they can also become spaces for knowledge-sharing and mobilization. In this respect, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianobtf.com\/en\/social-media-standardization-tastes-personality\/\">the mechanisms of standardization and influence on social media<\/a> show how strongly visible content can shape collective perceptions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Diaspora_A_Stakeholder_States_Cannot_Ignore\"><\/span>The Diaspora: A Stakeholder States Cannot Ignore<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For Thione Niang, African states need the involvement of their diasporas. He does not portray them as perfect, nor does he call for waiting until every institutional condition is in place before acting. On the contrary, his appeal is to take part in the transformations already underway.<\/p>\n<p>This involvement does not necessarily require an immediate and permanent return to one\u2019s country of origin. It can take many forms: launching a project, investing in an existing business, sharing professional experience, mentoring young people, creating commercial links or using the internet to pass on knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Returning home nevertheless remains an important consideration for many members of the diaspora. It requires realistic preparation, an understanding of local constraints and the ability to find one\u2019s bearings again. The experience described in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianobtf.com\/en\/returning-live-cameroon-after-ten-years-united-states\/\">this account of returning to Cameroon after ten years in the United States<\/a> illustrates that resettlement is not limited to changing one\u2019s place of residence.<\/p>\n<p>Thione Niang\u2019s message is therefore broader than physical return alone: he urges people not to remain spectators. He also warns of the risk that generations who remain disconnected from local realities for too long may one day feel like strangers in their own countries.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_Resources_The_Question_of_Ownership_and_Co-Development\"><\/span>Natural Resources: The Question of Ownership and Co-Development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thione Niang refers to his work in Guinea on the Simandou project, where he says he closely observed the international dynamics at work on the continent. He highlights the presence of actors from Asia, Europe, the United States, Australia, Canada and other regions of the world.<\/p>\n<p>His question is straightforward: how do Africans intend to participate in developing the value of their own natural resources? He believes control over this issue cannot be left solely to outside interests. However, his appeal is not limited to mineral resources: it encompasses all of the continent\u2019s productive, human and cultural capacities.<\/p>\n<p>Within this framework, co-development requires the active participation of communities, local businesses, diaspora expertise and national institutions. The aim is to foster projects that create value and opportunities locally.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Making_Digital_Technology_a_Tool_for_Knowledge-Sharing_and_Outreach\"><\/span>Making Digital Technology a Tool for Knowledge-Sharing and Outreach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The internet occupies a central place in the vision defended by Thione Niang. He sees it as a tool for helping young people, particularly by influencing their mindset and giving them access to inspiring role models. Knowledge can be shared remotely, across borders, provided useful content is created and tangible connections are built.<\/p>\n<p>He also calls for African countries to be presented more effectively. In his view, the narrative about Africa is too often negative. He therefore encourages the development of a form of national outreach based on what each country has to offer at its best: its talents, projects, expertise and prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Thione Niang says he accepted a role as Senegal\u2019s roving ambassador, entrusted to him by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, in order to contribute to his country\u2019s outreach. He presents this commitment as a personal choice to participate, following several years of work in Guinea.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Call_for_Collective_Action\"><\/span>A Call for Collective Action<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Thione Niang\u2019s message rests on a simple idea: Africa will not develop without its diasporas, nor without a willingness among Africans to cooperate. Investing, training, mentoring, telling different stories about the continent\u2019s countries and supporting job-creating initiatives are all possible forms of engagement.<\/p>\n<p>He invites members of the diaspora to look towards Senegal, Guinea, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire and, more broadly, the many opportunities he believes exist across the continent. Beyond the countries he names, his plea seeks to turn attachment to Africa into sustained, concrete and collective participation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Thione_Niangs_main_message_to_the_African_diaspora\"><\/span>What is Thione Niang\u2019s main message to the African diaspora?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>He calls on Africans living abroad to contribute to the continent\u2019s development through investment, job creation, skills transfer, support for young people and the promotion of a more positive narrative about Africa.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_necessary_to_return_to_live_in_Africa_in_order_to_contribute\"><\/span>Is it necessary to return to live in Africa in order to contribute?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No. Thione Niang believes it is possible to contribute remotely through the internet, sharing experience, funding, professional networks or support for local projects.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_he_emphasize_social_media\"><\/span>Why does he emphasize social media?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>He criticizes the attacks and disparagement that can discourage committed people.
