Conflicts in Africa are one of the biggest impediments to the continent reaching its full potential. It leads to the loss of lives, displaces families, creates conditions for instability, human rights violations and undermines development. Sadly, the continent continues to be plagued by conflict in a number of countries.
This year South Africa will assume the Chair of the African Union and will use its tenure to intensify efforts to establish peace and stability in Africa. The AU approved theme for 2020 is ‘Silencing the Guns: Creating Conducive Conditions for Africa’s Development’.
