unité de passage (french) unidad del paso (Spanish), Unity of passage (English).....Due to the Berlin Conference of 1884, where European powers decided to dominate African, many of the native languages have faded. Most Africans speak English (contrary to popular belief) and French because Great Britain and France conquered many African countries and controlled them for years.

Most countries in Africa have multiple national languages. There are different dialects of each language but the basic languages apply!!!!!

But, what does "passage" mean in this context?
Before one can translate this, it would be nice
to have some text to go by to make the
translation correct.
EDIT:
Thanks to your additional data I've come up with
a plausible translation for you. I still had problems
with "passage". I searched many dictionaries
and came up with
Umoja wa badiliko.
This is Swahili.
Umoja = unity (from moja = one)
wa = of
badiliko = change, transition.
(There still may be a better word, but I
couldn't find one.)
