Architecture Africaine de Paix et de Sécurité : Pertinence dans la conception et difficultés dans les réalisations
Authors
March 6, 2017

La grande question qui interpelle les Africains, dans le domaine de la sauvegarde de la Paix et de la sécurité, reste celle de savoir si l’organisation panafricaine qui ambitionne de mener le continent vers la paix et la prospérité auxquelles le prédisposent ses potentialités de ressources humaines et matérielles, peut assurer la réalisation de ces ambitions avec ses propres institutions ? Autrement dit l’Union Africaine peut-elle gérer les crises africaines avec des moyens africains indépendants ?

Cette question principale en appelle d’autres qui sont intermédiaires :
- Qu’est-ce que l’AAPS et quelles sont ses composantes principales ?
- Quelles relations entre les structures chargées de la paix et de la sécurité en Afrique ?
- Quelle coordination régule la coopération entre les CER, le conseil de paix et de sécurité de l’UA, la Commission voire même la Conférence ?

Quelle est l’importance, l’ampleur ou la nécessité de l’intervention extérieure ?
Les institutions mises au point par l’Union Africaine à cet égard ne souffrent ni de manque de pertinence ni de défaut de conception. Certains réglages restent cependant nécessaires à la fonctionnalisation et à l’opérationnalisation des structures institutionnelles mises en place avec à leur tête le conseil de paix et de sécurité qui gère l’Architecture africaine consacrée à la cause de la paix.

    A NATION CRAVING TO RETURN TO GREATNESS It was yet another turbulent episode reflecting the dark sides of politics and secret service conspiracies. Murder is the message. “Do not mess with us.” The killers wore turbans and spoke Arabic. What else is new? It was dark, not a good time to drive on a hellhole of a road in the Central African Republic, one of the poorest nations of the world. So poor that death has no price. Not many streets are paved and streetlights are as frequent as ...

    The African Union goes to Mauritania Under the theme “Winning the Fight Against Corruption”, the 31st Summit of the African Union was held in early July in the desert capital Nouakchott. In a bitter prelude in late June, the AU’s commitment to this central theme was dealt a blow with the sudden – and public – resignation of Ghana’s Daniel Batidam from the AU Advisory Board on Corruption. Off to a rocky start, the summit had an even rougher road ahead of it.  A month before the lau ...

    “NONE OF AFRICA’S PROBLEMS CAN BE RESOLVED THROUGH MILITARY FORCE” Colonel Raul Rivas arrived in dress uniform, his parachute citations well polished. His ribbons for bravery and combat duty were aligned at the upper left-hand side of his jacket, a colorful display of combat, death and battles in Afghanistan and Iraq.  The Colonel, just a few years above 40, and despite his 21 years in the military, was as “proud of being an American as one can be,” a true patriot. He jumped out ...
