Global Leaders Unite for 'Africa: Leading from the Heart'

On September 25, 2025, prominent leaders from around the globe converged in New York for the launch of H.E. Macky Sall's latest book, "Africa: Leading from the Heart." This significant event was organized by the Macky Sall Foundation for Peace, Dialogue, and Development, taking place alongside the 2025 United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

In his address, former Senegalese President Macky Sall shared a vision for Africa's role in the global arena. Rather than merely lamenting the continent's challenges, Sall's book serves as a manifesto intended to inspire and propel Africa beyond systemic injustices and unfavorable stereotypes.

One of the core themes of the book is the urgent need for reform in global governance. Sall emphasized that Africa must not continue to be sidelined in global decision-making processes. He advocates for necessary changes in the Bretton Woods system to ensure fair representation, improved credit ratings, and sustainable solutions to Africa's overwhelming debt crisis.

Sall also addresses the critical issue of energy transition. He asserts that Africa's rich resources and fertile lands should allow it to engage in climate action while driving forward its development agenda. His vision calls for an equitable transition that supports both environmental sustainability and socio-economic growth.

Youth empowerment is another integral part of Sall's message. He encourages Africa's young populace to harness opportunities through education, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
