African Union Summit 2024 in full swing

The 47th Ordinary Session of the Permanent Representative’s Committee (PRC) kicked off on 15^th of January and will end on the 26th of January 2024.  The African Union summit 2024 will look into how the continent can maintain momentum in addressing issues of peace and security, regional integration, and development. The annual convening of African leaders will interrogate the progress made in addressing the worrying security situation and conflicts in a few of its member states and proffer recommendations on innovative ways to sustainably address the crises in a bid to return to peace. H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat, Chairperson of the African Union Commission, while addressing the PRC, highlighted the conflicts in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) noting that these conflicts, compounded with a fragile global situation, call for more action. He stated, “these different conflicts and many other issues on a global scale enable us to take stock of the fragmentation of the world. The only recourse that Africa has in the face of the challenges of our time is its unity and solidarity. A unity that we build with perseverance and tolerance, in a cooperative effort that transcends particularities, neutralises considerations contrary to the general interest and constantly draws inspiration from mutual understanding.” More on the Story
