Africa-Press – Ethiopia. Africans must stand together to confront cross-border crimes that threaten our sovereignty, wealth, and future, Deputy Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Temesgen Tiruneh remarked.
The 25th Eastern, Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Ministerial conference kicked off in Addis Ababa today.
The Deputy PM said “Our continent is being tested by fast-evolving threats: illicit financial flows, money laundering, terrorist financing, and more. These crimes rob our citizens of opportunity, block our continental aspirations, and slow our progress. And because they cross borders, no nation can defeat them alone.”
Ethiopia has established a national committee to fight this challenge, Temesgen stated noting that “We will keep strengthening our efforts—working with our people, with fellow nations, and with partners—to protect our future and secure Africa’s progress.”
Ministers from 21 countries, among them the Vice President and Minister of Finance of Botswana—gathered with stakeholders from leading international and continental institutions for the East and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Conference.
