ZAMBIA, March 6, 2015 (SPS) - The representatives of the African Union’s countries appointed Permanent Representative to the African Union (AU) and ambassador of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) in Ethiopia Lamine Baali president of AU ad hoc committee for peace, security and cultural development.
Lamine Baali was elected to chair this committee in the meeting of the representatives of AU’s countries, devoted to the debate on the executive plan of the first decade of the agenda “Africa 2063,” held from 2 to 6 March in Lusaka.
The committee chaired by SADR will define practical ways to implement the objectives set out at the national, regional and continental levels, such as the creation and implementation of mechanism for the settlement and fight against conflicts, through the strengthening of cooperation between Africa and international bodies, including the regional economic groups.
SADR emphasized Monday, through the voice of its permanent representative to AU, the need to “take efficient measures to complete the process of Africa’s decolonization through the liberation of the last colony, namely Western Sahara occupied by Morocco.” (SPS)
