By Website Writer; H.E YK Museveni has handed over the Chairmanship of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Mechanism for the region to Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshisekedi at the Summit taking place in Congo, Kinshasa.
President Museveni saluted President Felix Tshisekedi of the DRC for cooperating to eliminate the rebels of Allied Democratic Forces – ADF.
He said that the Regional Oversight Mechanism of the Peace, Security, and Cooperation Framework has not worked well to deal with the growing security threats in the great lakes region.
“We were able to defeat the Whites in Southern Africa and Namibia. How can we fail to defeat these reluctant groups? That means there’s something that is missing which our elders did and we’re not doing,” Museveni said.
President Museveni took pride of being among one of the most indigenous groups in the Great Lakes, termed as ‘ideological bankruptcy’ the thinking that the groups causing insecurity in the region don’t belong here.
“This problem of insecurity in Africa which is becoming bigger and bigger can be defeated. Our elders like Mwalimu Nyerere (Tanzania), Kenneth Kaunda (Zambia) and others with friendly fighters from Angola, Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, defeated bigger problems,” he added.
