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

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

[COMESA Governance, Peace and Security @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”

[COMESA Governance, Peace and Security @COMESA_GPS]

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

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

[African Union Political Affairs Peace and Security @AUC_PAPS]

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.
