African Leaders at the ongoing 23rd Ordinary Summit of the
African Union (AU) in Malabo, Equitorial Guinea have condemned the spate of
attacks by terrorists and insurgents on the African continent.
Chairman of the AU, Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel
Aziz, while speaking at the opening of the Assembly of Heads of State and
Government Thursday, said the continent’s leaders must rise to the occasion and
adequately respond to contemporary security challenges.
He added that the tragic events across the continent were a
reminder that to ensure peace and security, there was the need for a better
understanding of the continent.
Meanwhile, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has cut
short a trip to the summit a day after a bomb blast in Abuja, his office said
on Thursday.
