sanctions against countries like Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Zimbabwe. Africa should come up with a mechanism against these sanctions. In doing so, we will be promoting regional cohesion and preserving peace,” Ambassador Abdu said.
In promoting public dialogue on the continent’s development, there is a need to take on board government structures distinct from the Euro-centric approach. He said a number of institutions should be restructured to be self-reliant from charity, loans, and debt. Ties between nations will be strengthened through re-engagement in dialogue so as to promote Africa’s growth and economic development as well as to foster unity, solidarity, cohesion, and collaboration.
HE Ahmed Taher El Fadly, Leader of the Technical Team tasked with strengthening collaboration between the PAP and the Diplomatic Corps, said there is a need to move from mere rhetoric to action by putting in place concrete structures to strengthen the mutually beneficial relationship between the two entities.
“During the last meeting of the African Group of African Ambassadors comprising representatives from Zimbabwe, Kenya, Mali, Uganda, and Congo Brazaville, we discussed the need for PAP to create synergies with various stakeholders in order to expedite the Malabo Protocol,” he said.
He urged the PAP to be fully representative of African people. Currently, the PAP has 270 members from the 55 AU member states hence the need for proportional representation characterised by the robust exchange of views as well as shared working methods, and solutions to current challenges.
Hon Chief CCharumbira invited African Ambassadors to help the PAP in fulfilling its mandate. These key functions, as espoused in Rule 4(1) of the PAP Rules of Procedure are, among others, to:
- Facilitate the implementation of the policies, objectives and programmes of the Union and oversee their effective implementation by various organs of the Union
- Promote human and people’s rights, consolidate democratic institutions and the democratic culture, good governance, transparency and the rule of law by all organs of the Union, RECs and Member States
- Participate in creating awareness among the peoples of Africa on:
- The objectives, policies, aims and programmes of the Union
- The strengthening of continental solidarity, cooperation and development
- The promotion of peace, security and stability on the African continent; and,
- The necessity for the pursuit of a common economic recovery strategy
- Contribute to the harmonization and coordination of the legislative texts of Member States in accordance with Article 11(3) of the Protocol
- Promote the coordination of the policies, measures, programmes and activities of RECs and other legislative bodies
