Stakeholders in security matters have called for a borderless United States of Africa come 2063.
The advocacy was made during the I6th edition of Security Watch
Africa Initiatives Annual Conference (SWAIAC ) held in Swissotel,
Al-Ghurair and Radison Blu Hotel Dubai, United Arab Emirates from
November 6 and 7.
In a communiqué signed by Brigadier-General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah
(retd) ,Chairman, Board of Trustees, Security Watch Africa Initiatives;
Mr Patrick Agbambu, President/CEO, Security Watch Africa Initiatives,
and Brigadier General SK Usman (retd), Conference Rapporteur, Security
Watch Africa Initiatives, they noted that: “There is urgent need for
more collaboration and information sharing in border security
management. African countries should emphasise on the importance of
non-kinetic efforts in counter terrorism and counter-insurgency
operations.
“There is need to address the root causes of insecurity on the
African continent such as religious extremism and intolerance, bad
governance, illiteracy, unemployment and poverty. African states should
curb unilateral “intervention packages” by other countries, where not
sanctioned by the United Nations.
“Africa is indeed being confronted with myriads of safety and
security challenges that need to be addressed. To enhance security and
economic development, African countries should make concerted efforts to
actualise a borderless United States of Africa by 2063.There is urgent
need for more collaboration and information sharing in border security
management.
“African countries need to take care of their respective border
communities to enable them to be more security conscious.The need to
review international laws governing border security management among
African countries.African countries should emphasise on the importance
of non-kinetic efforts in counter terrorism and counter-insurgency
operations. Africa need to address the root causes of insecurity on the
African continent such as religious extremism and intolerance, bad
governance, illiteracy, unemployment and poverty. There should be a
better regional and international cooperation, coordination especially
training and intelligence. African countries should have better and
integrated border security management.The tracking of illicit financial
flows should be intensified. African states should curb unilateral
‘intervention packages’ by other countries, where not sanctioned by the
United Nations. To enhance security, African countries should improve on
good governance, strengthen states and institutions, not weaken,
corrupt or disrupt them. African countries should see terrorism and
extremism as criminal issues that should be clearly defined, track and
prosecute all those involved.African states and organisations should
understand the political, social, national ‘push’ factors and regional
geographical dynamics in fashioning out responses to security
issues.There should be continuous training programmes for stakeholders
and security personnel such as the one organized by Security Watch
Initiatives.”
