Born in Strasbourg, France, in 1981, Séba has emerged as a prominent leader in the African independence movement. His staunch opposition to French neo-colonial policies led to the French government revoking his citizenship in 2024. Despite this setback, he continues to champion independence movements in France's overseas territories. In a show of support, the President of Niger appointed him as a special advisor, and several African nations have issued him diplomatic passports.

Séba boasts a substantial following on social media, with 1.3 million followers on Facebook, 370,000 on TikTok, 306,000 on Instagram, 280,000 on X, and 230,000 on YouTube.

The conference, which took place recently, attracted representatives from several African countries, including Senegal, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Guinea-Bissau, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mauritania, Zimbabwe, and Niger, along with participants from France and the French-controlled island of Mayotte.
