Written by on November 21, 2024

Regional peace is the cornerstone of SADC’s collective endeavors towards sustainable development and integration, SADC Chairman, President Mnangagwa, has said.

Addressing the Extraordinary SADC Summit that was attended by Heads of State and Government, and their representatives in Harare yesterday, President Mnangagwa said it was the regional bloc’s responsibility to pull all the stops in ensuring threats that jeopardise the region’s peace and security are addressed.

President Mnangagwa urged the region to remain steadfast as the various impediments to the security and well-being of peoples within SADC are being addressed by the bloc. The primary focus of the gathering of Heads of State was on the security situation in the region, particularly in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). To date, over 6,5 million people are internally displaced with civilians, women and children, being most affected by the conflict.

President Mnangagwa assured the people of the DRC that the region’s longstanding mantra that “an injury to any one of our nations, is an injury to all SADC nations”, remained true to this day.
