Summary/Abstract: In this contribution, we want to show the polyphony of voices reveals an international or pan-African project that crosses the ages and puts in contact people who, even if they have not lived in the same period, share ideas that have for subject the becoming of the continent. Indeed, Didier Awadi in Présidents d’Afrique (2010) brought together the greatest African figures and the diaspora to show how the current youth has bypassed the period of independence to identify with the Founding Fathers whose discourse was misled by those who managed the African countries in the aftermath of Independence. We will try to relate the discourses which constitute our corpus and endeavor to show the positioning of young people in relation to this question.
