We note with concern the tragic Shooting of #AlvinoDias & #PauloGaumbe in #Maputo #Mozambique. The incident has the propensity to violently escalate the already volatile electoral contestation. #MozambiqueElection @SADC_News @AUC_MoussaFaki @antonioguterres #Peace

As part of the #SAMIDRC Mandate, the #SAMIDRC Force Maritime continues to cooperate with the Security Forces of DRC to ensure the security and Protection of Civilians in Lake Kivu, North Kivu, Goma. #SAMIDRC Force Maritime collaborated with the DRC Army Navy (FARDC Navy) in the rescue operation after the boat accident in Lake Kivu. #SAMIDRC Navy’s participation in the operation saved several lives.

CSOs are missing from key decision-making in policy organs. The APSA must recognize that CSOs offer solutions to Africa’s peace and security challenges. They’re not a problem to solve, but a voice to be heard - Dr @oita_etyang, @COMESA_HQ, @COMESA_GPS

Taye A, rep of @AUC_PAPS on behalf of @SarjohBah3, Director CM at @AUC_PAPS appreciated Malawi’s readiness towards the CSVRA process, & underscored the need to find ways of sustaining resilience & mitigating vulnerabilities “The process & its leadership is a burden on the Bureau”

Opening Statements! "Africa’s problem is being reactive to issues, thus not addressing them at the latent stages. The CSVRA process is aimed at building the resilience of the country and COMESA is here to support” - Dr Oita Etyang, #Head of GPS at @COMESA_HQ @Egypt_Kadah @EUtoAU

Meet #WANEP’s New Executive Director! Mrs Levinia Addae-Mensah brings 30 years of experience in peace and security to her new role. We are excited to see her lead us into a new chapter!

In partnership w/ @SADC_News @ACCORD_online @UNDPPA we just concluded a 3day workshop w/ #SADC #Youth Ministries-Ntnl Yth Councils & CSOs to develop a Regional #YPS Strategy. The wrkshp enhanced Knowledge & explored strategies to advance the YPS agenda @regional & national level

We are encouraged by the progress we made jointly with @AUC_PAPS #RECs #RMs & #MemberStates in developing a Common African Position on #ClimateChange #Peace & #Security (CAP-CPS) through understanding the Nexus & evidence based responses #SADC #EarlyWarningSystem #DataCollection

As we conclude AU consultations on climate & security on a high note, our strategies must be robust. Climate financing for adaptation & mitigation is essential for peacebuilding, enhancing resilience & ensuring human security & our peace efforts must integrate climate sensitivity

Fruitful wrap-up of the #AU Member States’ Consultation on a CAP on climate & security, establishing key principles & priorities & advancing a unified stance. Dr. @SarjohBah3 underlined the significance of African ownership & leadership in shaping the climate security agenda.
