Africa-Press – Angola. Angolan political analyst Lúcia Kaka defended, this Thursday, the need for the Economic Community of Central African States (CEEAC) to intensify its action, to prevent member countries from being vulnerable to unconstitutional changes in power.
Lúcia Kaka was speaking to Press regarding the conclusions of the Extraordinary CEEAC Summit, held last Friday, in the town of Djibloho, in Equatorial Guinea, which was attended by the Angolan Head of State, João Lourenço.
The expert understands that to prevent more coups d’état from happening at the level of the CEEAC States, it is essential to look at their constituents and invest in the equitable distribution of wealth.
Regarding Gabon’s suspension from ECCAS, the analyst considered it a measure provided for in the Community’s statutes.
Gabon is suspended from the Economic Community of Central African States until it returns to normality and constitutional order.
The international relations specialist states that the decision removes the suspended State’s right to participate in economic, social and political activities within the organization.
“The measure is proportional. We must take into account that the military junta, which deposed President Ali Bongo, also elected a president with the same time frame,” he noted.
For Lúcia Kaka, the measure fits the context if one takes into account that the likely concertations should take place in a climate of tranquility.
The analyst understands that this temporal issue ends up converging with the period in which the military junta must create the necessary conditions for consultations.
Angola’s participation in conflict resolution in Africa
The press source highlighted President João Lourenço’s commitment to resolving several conflicts that have been plaguing the African continent in recent times, adding that such a stance demonstrates that the Angolan State is a lover of peace and regional security.
He stated, on the occasion, that the title of champion of peace, awarded to President João Lourenço by the African Union, has a lot to do with Angola’s “enormous experience” in managing and resolving conflicts.
According to Lúcia Kaka, with these actions, the country lends its knowledge to help not only CEEAC, in particular, but the African continent, in general.
CEEAC was created in Libreville, Gabon, in December 1981, becoming operational only in 1985. It is made up of Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Rwanda, São Tomé and Prince and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
