  1. As a region, we have witnessed the strengthening of mutual trust and the normalization of relations between and among Member States, notably between Burundi and Rwanda, thanks to the ICGLR, which has unequivocally become a regional platform to address inter-State tensions and suspicions. In addition, the region has witnessed the organization of peaceful and credible elections in Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, the Congo and Zambia. We note with delight the growth of the involvement of women in peacebuilding processes through negotiations and mediation. There is also an increase in the participation of women in political governance and involvement in decision-making bodies through nominative and elective positions.

  2. In the past 10 months, we have had three mini-summits convened under the able leadership of the Chairperson of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR), the President of the Republic of Angola, His Excellency Mr. João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço, in order to address the security and political crisis in the Central African Republic. As a result, we witnessed last weekend the unilateral political will demonstrated by the Government in the ceasefire declaration by His Excellency Mr. Faustin Archange Touadera, President of the Central African Republic and Head of State.

  3. The Great Lakes region has made progress with regard to peace, stability and development despite the challenges related to heinous criminal activities, including the illegal exploitation and trade of natural resources and the increase in conflict-related sexual violence against women and children being committed by the armed groups and negative forces actively operating in the region, especially in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic. We have also witnessed the negative impact of the coronavirus disease and climate change on the livelihoods of our people in the region.

  4. Mr. Caholo: I would like to start by congratulating the Government and the people of the Republic of Kenya on assuming the presidency of the Security Council. I have no doubt that the Republic of Kenya will once again rise to the challenges of the coveted and onerous responsibility of leading the Security Council. I am also honoured to participate in this high-level briefing on the Great Lakes region, under theme “Supporting the renewed commitment of the Great Lakes countries in seeking sustainable solutions to the root causes and drivers of conflict”.
