Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, addressing the 21st extraordinary session of the African Union (AU) Conference of Heads of State and Government in Luanda, Angola, underscored the critical need for the Union to assert its presence on the ground. The President's message, delivered by National People's Assembly President Azouz Nasri, focused on strengthening African conflict prevention and resolution mechanisms, with a particular emphasis on combating terrorism and organized crime.<\/p>\n
President Tebboune specifically called for the effective and operational deployment of AU organs, including the Special Representatives of the Commission President, activation of the African Standby Force with its regional components, and intensified actions by the Group of Sages. This comprehensive approach aims to directly counter terrorist groups and criminal networks while also providing urgent humanitarian assistance. As the African Union's champion for the prevention and fight against terrorism and violent extremism in Africa, President Tebboune lauded Angola's efforts in hosting the session and its dedication to joint African action against terrorism.<\/p>\n
The President reiterated Algeria's steadfast commitment to African causes, advocating for the reinforcement of existing mechanisms rather than creating new ones, to bolster the continent's operational capabilities against evolving security threats. He highlighted Algeria's proposals, which include the adoption by the AU Peace and Security Council of a comprehensive continental strategic action plan and the activation of the sub-committee on terrorism, both designed to strengthen African anti-terrorism efforts. President Tebboune stressed that counter-terrorism strategies must extend beyond visible manifestations to address underlying causes, integrating security, political, and developmental dimensions for a coordinated and complementary response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
