By Website Writer; Former Prime Minister John Patrick Amama Mbabazi has been appointed Chairperson of the African Global Security Foundation.
This was by the 6-founding member states; Congo Brazzaville, DRC, Senegal, Togo, Uganda and Mauritania on Wednesday, February 16, 2022.
At his home in Kololo, Uganda’s Special Envoy to South Sudan and Ethiopia Amama Mbabazi said the new body is a continental security thinktank charged with sharing ideas and information in regard to the security situation in Africa.
Mbabazi said that the body is limitless to any African state that is ready to rhyme with its goals.
“The African global security foundation was set up by Congo Brazaville, DRC, Mauritius, Senegal, Togo and Uganda. It will be open to all African states who subscribe to its objectives and willing to participate in it. It will be giving security briefing to members states through established organs,” Mbabazi told journalists.
He also noted that African Global Security Foundation is not a state organ but rather a foundation intended to build capacity and resilience for the smooth run of short term, medium- and long-term interests of its member states.
“This one is not a governmental body. What we have established is not a state organ but a foundation which hopefully will have capacity to analyse, both for purposes of short term, medium- and long-term interests of Africa even beyond governments of today. What Africa needs to do to strengthen itself to catch up with the rest of the world,” Mbabazi added.
