\"\"At the opening of the 52nd Ministerial Session of the United Nations Permanent Consultative Committee in charge of Security issues in Central Africa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation of Burundi His Excellency Albert SHINGIRO began his speech by thanking very sincerely the authorities of the Gabonese Republic for the quality of the hospitality and the marks of attention they have enjoyed since their arrival in the city of Gabon. He also thanked the Special Representative of the Secretary General of the United Nations for Central Africa, Mr. Fran\u00e7ois FALL LOUNCENY and his team for all arrangements made to allow the successful holding of the 52nd Meeting of the United Nations Permanent Advisory Committee in charge of questions of Security in Central Africa.<\/p>\n

Albert SHINGIRO said that the meeting was held at a difficult time when Central Africa continues to face major challenges related to peace and security, which threaten regional stability and well-being and development of the people of the region.<\/p>\n

He added that the security challenges are many and varied, such as the question of the activism of the armed groups which abound in certain countries of the region, violent extremism and terrorism especially Boko Haram in the region of Lake Chad and ADF NALU in eastern DRC, the tensions linked to the electoral processes, the illicit exploitation of natural resources, the illicit circulation of small arms and light weapons, pastoralism and transhumance as well as secessionist tendencies in certain parts of our sub-region.<\/p>\n

He reminded that pastoralism and transhumance risk becoming a source of regional instability, a threat to good neighborly relations between countries, and an obstacle to regional stability because of several elements, in particular the effects of climate change, rapid and uncontrolled demographic growth, the modification of traditional transhumance corridors, the absence of adequate mechanisms for inter-community dialogue as well as terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, etc. He said that in order to be more successful in all initiatives, it would be desirable for all ECCAS member states to combine efforts to support sister countries in difficult political and security situations. He added that the spirit of solidarity and cooperation must always remain at the center of our priorities.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation of Burundi ended his remarks by indicating that the 52nd meeting of the UNSAC in Libreville is an opportunity which is given to Central Africa to examine the common situation as a whole and to propose suitable recommendations for peace, stability and socio-economic development within the region.<\/p>\n

\"\"The 52nd meeting of the United Nations Permanent Consultative Committee in charge of Security Questions in Africa held in Libreville, Gabon was the opportunity for the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation His Excellency Albert SHINGIRO to hand over the chairmanship of the said Committee to his colleague from Gabon, His Excellency Pac\u00f4me Moubelet Boubeya, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Gabonese Republic.<\/p>\n
