Speech of Amb. Luyimbaazi Issah Katungulu—an African Youth Ambassador, researcher, and community leader in Uganda—
I bring warm salutations and greetings from the noblest of the seal of prophethood, Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him and His households)
This year's Ramadhan has come in the time when the world is at crossroads in the Middle East where the Islamic Republic of Iran was attacked in a military aggression by the Zionist regime of Israel and US plus the hypocritical Muslim nations that are funding genocide in Gaza, Palestine 🇵🇸 ,Sudan, Syria🇸🇾 ,Lebanon 🇱🇧, among other oppressed nations.
This war is not for Iran as a country but for all of us, including Africa, since we are part and partial as Non allied members and consumers of oil for industrial and domestic purposes.
Youth empowerment, unity, and global solidarity were at the center of discussions during the MSAU Ramadhan Iftar Dinner held at Hotel Africana, where young leaders and community members gathered to reflect on the spiritual and social values of the holy month of Ramadhan.
Delivering a keynote address, Luyimbaazi Issah Katungulu, an African Youth Ambassador, researcher, and community leader, called on young people to embrace knowledge, patriotism, and responsible leadership in shaping the future of their communities.
Katungulu began his remarks with greetings inspired by the teachings of Muhammad, emphasizing the importance of unity, learning, and moral character as core values that guide believers.
“Effective leadership begins with empowering young people to believe in themselves, develop creative skills, and transform ideas into practical solutions for sustainable development,” Katungulu said.
During the address, he highlighted the importance of patriotism and selflessness among youth, encouraging them to prepare for leadership roles and avoid being influenced by selfish interests that could hinder national and community progress.
