Ambassador Mbafou hails Algeria’s role in peace architecture

Cameroonian Ambassador to Algiers Claude Joseph Mbafou hailed Wednesday, in Algiers, the role of Algeria in implementing peace and security architecture in Africa, underlining that the Algerian authorities have managed “ to detect, identify and denounce the evil.”

“It is honourable for Algeria which is actively contributing to the implementation of peace and security African architecture and which spares no effort to ensure stability in its immediate neighbourhood and in all Africa,” said Mbafou in his speech on the occasion of the celebration of Africa Day in Algiers in the presence of Minister of State, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Ramtane Lamamra.

Algeria was able, “fortunately, to detect, identify and denounce the evil,” added Mbafou, who made sure to praise “the determination of the African heads of State and government” to place human rights, particularly women’s rights, “at the heart of their action.”

Today, “the African Union can boast about an unquestionable rise in power, marked by a strengthening of its authority at the continental and international levels,” he added.

The celebration of this day which coincides with the 53rd anniversary of the signing, on 25 May 1963, of the agreements of the continental organizations, is meant “to encourage rapprochement between African peoples,” said the diplomat.
