The parliamentary forum on security and intelligence ended this Friday, September 1, 2023 on a note of satisfaction at Kensington Palace in London, United Kingdom.
This last day was marked by the intervention of the President of the National Council of the Transition of Guinea.
Dr Dansa Kourouma, since it is about him, took the opportunity to challenge parliamentarians, diplomats, experts, consultants on their responsibility in the face of the resurgence of conflicts and terrorist attacks in the world in general and in Africa more particularly. because, according to the Global Terrorism Index, in 2021, seven (7) of the ten (10) countries most affected by terrorism were in Africa.
To face these monumental challenges, the President of the CNT invited participants in this London forum to intensify their efforts to strengthen security and intelligence on a global scale.
In the opinion of the leader of the body which acts as a transitional parliament, “the fight against terrorism should not be a pretext for restricting civil liberties. Safeguarding these principles is essential to preserve the trust of our citizens and strengthen stability. “, did he declare.
Dr Dansa Kourouma also insisted on cooperation between States and international organizations, NGOs and regional partners to develop global and sustainable solutions.
In his speech of truth, the number one of the National Council of the Transition believes that Africa must no longer continue to shine by its absence in the Security Council, that it must neither continue to receive injunctions or instructions from permanent members. For him, there is a need to review relations between Africa and the rest of the world within the United Nations Security Council: “Weapons must be replaced by responsible diplomacy for Africa. “, he hammered.
Finally, the chief legislator of the Guinean Transition encouraged parliamentarians present at the London forum to act with determination and dedication to promote security, stability and democratic values which are essential for a common future.
