H.E. Benjamin Mkapa, former presidents to convene on peace and security in Africa
Former Presidents Benjamin Mkapa of Tanzania, Thabo Mbeki of South Africa and Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia are expected to meet in Dar es Salaam this week to discuss Africa’s position in the global peace and security architecture. The dialogue, convened by H.E. Mkapa and organised by UONGOZI Institute, is a follow-up to the African Leadership Forum 2017 which was held in South Africa in August last year.
The 2017 Forum had the theme of “Peace and Security for an Integrated, United, and Sustainable Africa”, and was attended by five other former African Heads of State, including H.E. Olusegun Mathew Obasanjo of Nigeria; H.E. Elson Bakili Muluzi of Malawi; H.E. Mohamed Moncef Marzouki of Tunisia; H.E. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete of Tanzania; and H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia. The meeting was also attended by over 100 key African leaders, experts and thinkers working on issues of peace and security.
According to a statement released by UONGOZI Institute, the Forum examined the complex dynamics that fuel conflicts on the Continent, and how Africa can practically navigate these dynamics to secure lasting peace. Specifically, the area on Africa’s Position in the Global Security Architecture was highlighted as a topic that needed further discussion, which prompted the organisation of this follow-up meeting.
The follow-up meeting will focus on specific conflict areas in the region, discussing the cases of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Federal Republic of Somalia. H.E. Thabo Mbeki is expected to deliver the Keynote Address, and H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Amb. Zachary Muburi-Muita, Executive Secretary of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region are scheduled to speak at the event.
In addition to the former Heads of State, the meeting will gather 40 high-level practitioners and experts from across Africa. Resolutions from the follow-up meeting will be shared in a public statement at the conclusion of the event.
