AFRICANS CAN NOT HANDLE IT ALONE SAYS OBASANJO
Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has drawn attention to the need for broader international cooperation in addressing Africa’s persistent security challenges.
The discussion highlights an important question: can African countries effectively tackle terrorism, armed conflicts and growing insecurity without meaningful support from the international community?
Obasanjo’s remarks on Africa’s security architecture at the Mashariki Cooperation Conference in Kenya emphasised the need for stronger security institutions, intelligence sharing and coordinated action to achieve lasting peace.
He also warned that foreign actors who finance and arm proxy forces can worsen conflicts rather than help resolve them.
The issue goes beyond military intervention. It calls for genuine partnerships, improved intelligence cooperation, responsible leadership and political solutions that address the root causes of insecurity.
As security challenges continue to affect communities across the continent, the debate over how much responsibility should rest with African governmentsand how much support should come from international partners remains critical.
Ultimately, achieving lasting peace will require cooperation, accountability and a shared commitment to protecting lives across Africa.
