Frequent conflicts in Africa which have led to huge refugee situations and displacement of people across borders are embarrassing, says President Muhammadu Buhari.
As a way out, he called on African Union, AU's Peace and Security Council (PAC) and regional economic communities to coordinate and harmonise their efforts more effectively to arrest insecurity on the continent.
Buhari made the call in Abuja at the Peace and Security Council retreat on the enhancement of cooperation between the AU Peace and Security Council and the regional economic communities on promotion of peace, security and stability in Africa.
He was represented at the event by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. He said ;
”In wishing you every success in these collective efforts for peace and security in Africa I would like to remind that attention should've focused on how the Peace and Security Council and the regional economic communities can enhance effectiveness and efficiency using their comparative advantages and various capacities within the context of subsidiarity and complementarity in the areas of early warning and early action, conflict prevention, peace-making, post-conflict peace building, reconstruction and development, strengthening of democratic practices and good governance as well as in combating terrorism and violent extremism."
