The General Saïd CHANEGRIHA, Chief of Staff of the People's National Army took part, this Tuesday, 16 August 2022, via videoconference, in the 10th International Conference on Security held in Moscow in the Russian Federation.
At the beginning of his speech, The General expressed his gratitude to the Russian side for its invitation to participate in the Conference works which constitutes an opportunity for opinion exchange and the evaluation of the subjects relating to international security:
"First of all I would like to present my Gratitude for the honourable invitation you have addressed to me, to take part in 10th International Conference works on Security held in Moscow, which I wish to be fruitful and beneficial to all participants.
This Conference reflects the goodwill of the Russian Federation to strengthen our relations and constitutes an opportunity for points of view exchange and the evaluation of subjects relating to international security."
The General mentioned, in his speech, the specificities of the security challenges facing the African Continent:
"Certainly, Africa is facing a complex situation of politico-economic instability generated by numerous security and economic challenges, a context that requires the support and accompaniment of the international community, even with its rich resource, its population growth and considerable assets such as biodiversity, underground resources, energy and water reserves.
This fragile situation has destabilized a number of countries and impacted their economies and their security, making Africa the fief of criminal activities that spread the terrorism thread and multifaceted cross-border organized crime. "
The General stressed on the fact that it is time for the international community to be aware of the importance of maintaining peace in the world, by focusing on humanitarian security and taking charge of the real causes of the crises in the world in general and in Africa in particular:
"Today, I confirm to you that the experience acquired over the years during our fight against terrorism has proved to us that no country is far from the terrorism threat and its ramifications, and that the fight against this phenomenon can never be the responsibility of a single country.
As such, it is time for the international community to be aware of the importance of maintaining peace in the world, by focusing on humanitarian security, by addressing the real causes of crises in the world in general and Africa in particular, and by strengthening military capacities, with a view to achieve the required effectiveness in the field of the fight against terrorism and cross-border organized crime".
