00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:17,270 --> 00:00:19,649
The biggest goal for this year's 

3
00:00:19,659 --> 00:00:22,530
African Air Chief symposium was to 

4
00:00:22,540 --> 00:00:24,879
operationalize what we've been talking 

5
00:00:24,889 --> 00:00:27,569
about for the last several years . And 

6
00:00:27,579 --> 00:00:29,579
the good news is we were able to do 

7
00:00:29,579 --> 00:00:31,700
that . There's nobody who knows what 

8
00:00:31,709 --> 00:00:34,880
the continent of Africa needs more than 

9
00:00:34,889 --> 00:00:36,979
Africans . And in this case , the 

10
00:00:36,990 --> 00:00:38,250
African Air Chiefs , 

11
00:00:41,209 --> 00:00:44,119
ok , Africa is a diverse continent and 

12
00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:46,130
the security challenges are growing 

13
00:00:46,130 --> 00:00:49,560
from transnational threats to terrorism 

14
00:00:49,889 --> 00:00:53,630
and uh most of the conflicts in Africa , 

15
00:00:53,639 --> 00:00:56,099
they are intrastate . Therefore , there 

16
00:00:56,110 --> 00:00:58,994
is need for assistance from other 

17
00:00:59,005 --> 00:01:01,904
countries from outside to assist in 

18
00:01:01,915 --> 00:01:03,971
terms of the natural disasters , the 

19
00:01:03,971 --> 00:01:05,971
global warming effect . Therefore , 

20
00:01:05,971 --> 00:01:08,082
it's high time the African air shifts 

21
00:01:08,082 --> 00:01:10,304
gather , find a solution on how best to 

22
00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:12,471
react within a given period of time to 

23
00:01:12,471 --> 00:01:16,370
such problems . I would 

24
00:01:16,379 --> 00:01:19,319
like to thank all the delegates and 

25
00:01:19,330 --> 00:01:22,389
delegations who came to Tunisia and who 

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,178
contributed with their positive 

27
00:01:24,178 --> 00:01:26,980
engagement towards what would be best 

28
00:01:26,989 --> 00:01:29,000
for our association that we can 

29
00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:31,519
continue on to move for the best of the 

30
00:01:31,529 --> 00:01:32,580
African Air Power 

31
00:01:36,199 --> 00:01:38,419
Senior enlisted forum plays a critical 

32
00:01:38,430 --> 00:01:41,529
role in the Association of African Air 

33
00:01:41,540 --> 00:01:43,707
Forces . This is a very special time . 

34
00:01:43,707 --> 00:01:45,873
Any time we get to meet like this as a 

35
00:01:45,873 --> 00:01:48,849
family . It just strengthens our unity 

36
00:01:48,860 --> 00:01:50,971
and it strengthens our resolve . When 

37
00:01:50,971 --> 00:01:53,080
we work together . When we share 

38
00:01:53,089 --> 00:01:55,529
lessons learned together , we become 

39
00:01:55,540 --> 00:01:57,589
stronger together . And that's what 

40
00:01:57,599 --> 00:01:59,377
this event is all about is just 

41
00:01:59,377 --> 00:02:01,870
building a better team that is stronger 

42
00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:02,449
together .
