Political Impasse
By Tagie Daisy Mwakawago
“We must have a mindset of peace and security
within our regions. We must not waver,” said President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete of
the United Republic of Tanzania, urging his fellow Africans to uphold
principles of democracy and build a strong foundation that can keep and
maintain stability within the Continent.
President Kikwete gave his opening remarks earlier
today during the 368th Ministerial Meeting of the African Union Peace and
Security Council, where he thanked the Chairperson of the African Union
Commission, Her Excellency Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, for her admirable
leadership and for enabling this meeting to take place for the first time in
Tanzania since the establishment of the AU Peace and Security Council in
2004.
During his remarks, President Kikwete, who is also
the Chairperson of the Southern African Development Cooperation (SADC) – Organ
on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation, stated that AU has been a
driving force in promoting peace within the continent, and that the time has
come to strengthen its framework in order to act swiftly whenever crises
arise.
This year marks 50 years Anniversary of the
Organisation of African Union (now African Union) where Africa has seen
significant step towards peace and stability since its independence.
President Kikwete said that such positive shift results from the active engagement
of the AU and regional economic communities where peace and security challenges
have been addressed progressively.
“We must stay the cause and guard against divisive
politics based on ethnicity, regionalism or religion,” asserted President
Kikwete, adding that those who enter into office by force or undemocratic mean
shall not be tolerated.
Speaking on the situation in Madagascar, President
Kikwete said that SADC-Organ welcomed the decision by both former President
Marc Ravalomanana and the current President of the Transition Andry Rajoelina
of not contesting in the upcoming presidential election slated for July 2013,
pointing that it is a positive step towards a peaceful and democratic
elections.
“This is a patriotic commitment that the two
leaders have shown, setting aside their own personal interests for the benefit
of the people of Madagascar,” said President Kikwete, commending the two
leaders and urged them to honor such commitments.
President Kikwete further thanked President
Chissano for his tireless efforts and dedication in molding the crumbled
political situation in Madagascar. To the latter, the President also
acknowledged the perseverance shown by the collective efforts and unity of the
AU, the United Nations, the League of Arab States, the International
Organization of La Francophonie as well as the SADC Members in their
continuing support and efforts in finding solutions to the crisis in
Madagascar.
Speaking earlier, the AU Commissioner for Peace and
Security H.E. Ramtane Lamamra stated that Tanzania has been at the forefront in
the search for Continental peace and security since its leading role as a Chair
of the OAU Liberation Committee, spearheaded by the Late Mwalimu Julius
Kambarage Nyerere. He also lauded President Kikwete for his leadership in
peace building within the Continent during his time as a Foreign Minister and
currently as the President of Tanzania.
For his part, Hon. Bernard K. Membe (MP), Minister
for Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation also briefed the AU delegates
about the previous SADC decisions on political situation in Madagascar made in
December 2012 and January 2013 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The decisions
underscored the importance of the full implementation of the Roadmap set in by
the AU and SADC-Troika.
“We are meeting today to review any implementations
of the Roadmap in the hope to secure a peaceful, free and fair election in
Madagascar,” said Hon. Membe, speaking on behalf of Tanzania Government which
currently sits as a chair of the AU 368th Ministerial Level Meeting of the
Peace and Security Council for one month.
He said the Meeting is set to consider a report of
the former President Joachim Chissano of Mozambique on the political situation
in Madagascar and discuss the interim AU and SADC-Organ sanctions implemented
by President Rajoelina.
The AU member states will also discuss a framework
to ensure that constitutional order is restored back in Madagascar.
The 368th Meeting was attended by Ministers and
other Representatives from member states of the AU Peace and Security Council
that included Algeria, Angola, Cameroon, Congo (Brazzaville), Cote d’Ivoire,
Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Lesotho, Egypt, Mozambique, Nigeria Uganda
and Tanzania. Also the following attended during the opening
ceremony: United States of America, the United Kingdom, International
Organizations of Francophone, the European Union and the African Diplomatic
Corps.
The meeting is expected to be concluded today later
