The African heads of State and Government have examined Friday, the second day of the 23rd African Union Summit, issues relating mainly to peace and security in the continent, including the establishment of an African security organization.
Heads of State and Government of 54 African countries have examined the draft decisions on the Agenda 2063 for the African development and the United Nations Post-2015 Development Agenda, as well as the establishment of an African peace and security system.
Friday's session was also devoted to the creation of a regional force composed of the four countries bordering Lake Chad, namely Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger. It will be in charge of protecting Nigeria from any foreign interference and fighting against terrorism in the region in the mid and long terms.
The African leaders also assessed the progress achieved at the AU Peace and Security Council, including the early warning system to prevent crises and the African standby forces, which will be reactivated in December 2015, in addition to the AU's efforts for the reform of the UN bodies, including the Security Council.
The African leaders expressed Thursday their willingness to progress towards the achievement of the development goals of Agenda 2063.
The AU Agenda 2063 aims at building peace in Africa, preventing conflicts, and achieving sustainable development.
