Continent's security hinges on peace and development mechanisms
The President of Algeria, Mr. Abdelmajid Tebboune, reaffirmed Algeria's strong commitment to African issues, emphasizing the need to enhance mechanisms for conflict prevention and resolution through the activation of the African Union’s systems and increased field interventions to combat terrorist groups and organized crime. He explained that the main problem does not lie in the lack of legal frameworks or institutional structures, but rather in weak implementation and declining political will. He called for rectifying cooperation among the organization's mechanisms, activating the early warning system, and leveraging regional risk assessment tools. He stressed that security and stability in Africa are closely linked to development and responses to humanitarian crises, especially in light of a 400% increase in terrorist attacks and a 237% rise in fatalities over the past decade, with Africa accounting for about 63% of global terror victims and experiencing more than 17,000 deaths annually. Tebboune urged for coordinated efforts between the African Union and international partners, and for channeling resources into projects with a direct impact on improving the lives of the population, particularly young people and women.
