The Association of Muslim Pupils and Students of Guinea (AEEMG) launched the 13th edition of the National Islamic Training Camp yesterday, Tuesday August 23, 2022, in the city of N’zérékoré. Young pupils and students from various parts of the country took part in this meeting which aims to strengthen their training and religious and scientific knowledge. It was the University of N’zérékoré which served as the setting for the meeting, reports the special correspondent of Guineematin.com in the capital of the Forest.
The ceremony is placed under the honorary presidency of the governor of the region, represented by his representative. We also noted the presence of the representative of the prefect and of the religious and educational authorities.
This seminar brings together pupils, students and trainers from different schools and universities in the country, members of the AEEMG. Fodé Mohamed Sacko, president of the national executive committee of the association returned to the objective of this seminar before inviting the participants to respect Islamic values, the engine of all development.
“Participating in this training camp is a form of spiritual retreat, an opportunity for fathers, mothers and children to enjoy and learn every second of what the daily life of a practicing Muslim should be. You will agree with me, the disappearance of values such as integrity, transparency, honesty, love of a job well done, mutual respect and sense of responsibility are likely to compromise any socio-economic, cultural and spiritual development. . At the end of this 13th national Islamic training camp, we expect an environment conducive to the implementation of the values of Islam, actors of Islamic work involved in the fight against the evils that plague our society, a community, at all times , any place and any circumstances, having a behavior entirely and solely based on ethics, to a Muslim youth committed to cultural and spiritual values to better serve the nation”, he hinted.
This seminar, like those that preceded it, is organized on its own funds by the Association of Muslim Students and Students of Guinea (AEEMG) and the support of former members. An initiative is warmly welcomed by the religious and administrative authorities. This is the case of Imam Moussa Keita, coordinator of the Union of Imams of the forest region, who thanks the organizers.
“We salute this organization which aims to equip young people with Islamic knowledge. You have contributed to the development of Islam and Muslims in Guinea. We are happy to have heirs who can continue to convey the message of Islam after us. We pray to Allah to grow you and your association wherever you are. On behalf of the Regional Inspector of Religious Affairs of Nzérékoré, we welcome you and may Allah reward you”, said the imam.
For his part, Dr. Oumar Keita, rector of the University of Nzérékoré, said he was very honored by the AEEMG for the choice of his institution. “We were honored to have hosted this Islamic seminar within our institution, because we believe that these are opportunities that must be seized, opportunities for open-mindedness, exchanges on Islamic values. We always organize religious debates between our students here. We warmly thank these young Muslim pupils and students who are investing in moralizing our society, because an educated youth is a saved nation. When it’s the opposite, it’s a nation doomed. We tell them to perpetuate these activities and especially to expand them throughout the country,” said Dr. Oumar Keita.
Present at this meeting, Elhadj Ibrahima Fofana, project manager in the governorate of N’Zérékoré, also congratulated the organizers before providing wise and useful advice. “This seminar, organized by the national executive committee which brings together members of the 33 prefectures of the country, aims to teach young people the values of Islam to better serve the nation and also the promotion of Islam in the schools and universities. Mr. Governor asks me to tell you the support of the regional authority to this seminar for the promotion of Islam which is the guarantee of a good education of the children of Guinea in general, and in particular of the children of N’zérékoré to ensure the hard-won peace and tranquility in our country. We ask you to continue your training, to be humble towards people, to respect the laws of the country but also and above all to pray for the success of the transition in our country”, advised Elhadj Fofana.
More than 350 people are taking part in this seminar, the closing ceremony of which is scheduled for 28 August.
