Why do we insist on "African solutions to African problems"? Because context matters. Because sustainable peace cannot be imported. It must be built from within, by those who understand the history, the culture, and the stakes. The African Peace and Security Dialogue is our platform to do just that.

Lasting peace is built from within communities. While the Government remains committed to supporting and facilitating these efforts, sustainable solutions must be locally driven, rooted in dialogue, trust and collective responsibility.

#DRC - #USA : The world is slowly beginning to understand that diplomatic propaganda driven by lobbying does not reflect the reality on the ground. Congo does not only need peace, it needs sustainable peace that addresses the root causes of conflict. Any process that ignores governance failures, exclusion, and lack of accountability will only prepare the stage for renewed instability. The United States must prioritize what is best for the Congolese people, not simply echo the position of officials in Kinshasa. Listening equally to civil society, opposition leaders, and faith-based institutions is essential. An imposed peace including any Washington-driven framework that lacks national ownership risks being temporary and fragile. Leadership from CENCO and ECC offers a credible pathway toward a truly inclusive national dialogue. Sustainable peace cannot be imposed. It must be built from within. Well done to the Committee on Foreign Affairs for advancing an approach grounded in facts and accountability. Encouraging transparency and bringing truth to light is essential for building trust, restoring credibility, and fostering sustainable solutions. Truth remains the foundation upon which lasting peace and responsible diplomacy are built. Donald J. Trump Secretary Marco Rubio U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs

Days after Pete Hegseth said the U.S. war in Iran is protected by God, Pope Leo XIV denounced those who “involve the name of God in choices of death.” “At the moment in the world, many of our brothers and sisters suffer because of violent conflicts, caused by the absurd desire to solve the problems and the divergences with the war, while it is necessary to dialogue without hesitation for peace. “Some then even intend to involve the name of God in these choices of death. But God cannot be ruled by the darkness, and he is rather given light, hope, and peace to humanity, and peace that those who invoke him must seek.”

Because the South African government is not a vigilante group, it runs the state and states engage diplomatically not through insults on social media. President Cyril Ramaphosa knows exactly what he is doing, and in my view he is doing the right thing. Many South African companies have outgrown the South African market. Take MTN, for example. If you removed MTN from its African operations outside of South Africa, it would become a much smaller company because South Africa contributes only about 18% of MTN’s total earnings. The remaining 82% comes from its operations across the rest of Africa. As the MTN CEO explains below, those relationships have to be nurtured. You cannot allow xenophobia and Afrophobia to destroy them. These companies pay taxes in South Africa, and the profits they generate across the continent ultimately benefit the South African economy. Their expansion creates value for shareholders, supports jobs at home, contributes to tax revenue, and strengthens South Africa’s economic position. It would therefore be foolish for President Ramaphosa not to engage with his African counterparts. Failing to do so would damage not only diplomatic relations, but also trade and investment ties that are vital to South African companies operating across the continent. If African governments were to adopt a united position against South African businesses because of deteriorating relations, the South African economy would suffer significantly. That is why diplomacy is not a luxury; it is an economic necessity. Unfortunately, many of those fuelling these problems either do not understand how modern economies work or simply do not read enough to appreciate the importance of regional trade, investment, and economic interdependence.

[WATCH] Comrades the threat of this violence that is being promoted here is that there is a promotion of creating animosity between South Africa and the rest of the continent. South Africa does business with other African countries. We buy oil from the continent and many South African business do business on the continent. Soon those businesses will be removed and we have South Africans working in those countries. We must never allow our Ubuntu to be undermined by vigilantes. These people are damaging the image of the country and the state must act and act decisively.

As the Chairperson of the African Union Committee of Five(C5) responsible for overseeing the process of the implementation of the revitalised peace agreement, we left South Sudan with renewed hope that peace will prevail. And, that a process of inclusive national dialogue involving all the signatories to the revitalized agreement will be undertaken, and that all the processes that will move from now will remain credible, and that all parties will be involved and be allowed to participate in this process. It is important that the elections should be inclusive, should be transparent, should be fair, and the security environment should be conducive to conduct free and fair elections.
