Gambia News : Gambian opposition leader tasks Kadhafi on conflicts in Africa
Opposition party strongman in Mali, Mr. Halifa Sallah, has tasked
Libya’s President Muammar Kadhafi to focus on the promotion of conflict
resolution, political and economic integration of the continent, as he
heads the continent's main governing body, the African Union (AU).
Sallah, the Secretary General of the opposition coalition political
party, National Alliance for Democracy and Development (NADD), in an
interview with PANA here Monday shed light on the appointment of
Kadhafi as the new chairman of the African Union.
“The African
Union came into being in order to facilitate economic and political
integration of the continent but adopted the policy of rotational
chairmanship to enable all nations, big or small, to see themselves as
part and parcel of the continent,” he explained.
According to
him, “If they decided to give the Libyan leader the responsibility of
chairperson, I would expect two fundamental things for him to work on
-- to promote the political and economic integration of the continent
and resolve most, i f not all conflicts in Africa.”
He called on
the new AU chairman to facilitate the peace process and the ultimate
conflict resolution in trouble regions of Africa, especially in the
Central African states of Chad and Sudan where he (Kadhafi) has often
been consulted by leaders of those regions to facilitate peace.
Sallah
urged Kadhafi to call a conference of African intellectuals to debate
the issue of unity government and United States of Africa or the
"Federation of African Republics".
“The countries on the
continent are still divided and are yet to develop a conce ptual
framework on how to create a unity government and to unify Africa. So,
fundamentally it is a period of debate and I would like him to enhance
the debate during his chairmanship,” tasked Sallah.
