A speech, like no other,

Since the creation of the National School of Administration and Magistracy (ENAM) of the Central African Republic, in the early 1960s, the course of academic activities was punctuated by two important traditional ceremonies, namely: that of "presentation to the flag" and that of "baptism of the graduating class and awarding of diplomas to the graduating classes". Once organized on a regular basis, these two ceremonies, and especially the second one, were a unique and symbolic occasion where former and new enarques gathered in the very walls of their School to celebrate and feast in chorus. Unfortunately, due to the crises that began to shake the Central African Republic in the aftermath of the La Baule summit, these two traditional ceremonies have been quarantined. It was on March 30, 2019 that former and new students had returned to the second ceremony, which took place in the presence of Professor Faustin Archange TOUADERA, President of the Republic, Head of State. Director General of ENAM at the time, the author of this book took this opportunity to declaim, in an academic style, his speech for the occasion.
