  1. “In concluding, I wish to reaffirm Nigeria’s unwavering commitment to the effective implementation of the AU Master Roadmap on Silencing the Guns, which would greatly contribute towards the realization of AU’s Agenda 2063 and fulfilment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We call on all Council members to sustain their support for the African continent and these critical agendas.”

  2. “For its part, Nigeria has established a national centre for the control of small arms and light weapons, which provides policy guidance, research and monitoring of all aspects of small arms and light weapons in the country, in close collaboration with relevant national, regional and international stakeholders. Lastly, to echo the point made by President Nyusi this morning, achieving the Silencing the Guns in Africa initiative will be jeopardized if terrorism is allowed to persist on the continent. In this regard, Nigeria and the Office of Counter-Terrorism will host a regional counter-terrorism summit for Africa in Abuja to identify ways of strengthening regional responses to the threat of terrorism in Africa. The Security Council’s support towards the successful outcome of this event is welcome.”

  3. “While the strategic partnership between the AU and United Nations continues to bear fruit, the obstacles to providing support to African-led peace operations from United Nations assessed contributions need to be overcome. Likewise, mobilization of domestic resources is key and will require increased collective efforts to tackle illicit financial flows that are depriving the continent of vast amounts of its much-needed resources. Thirdly, expanding knowledge and research capabilities on illicit arms flow in the region is important in curbing the inflow, proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons.”

  4. “Widening access to education, strengthening good governance, securing technology transfer and promoting inclusive participation of women and youth in governance and economic activities will lead to more resilient societies. Nowhere is this need more evident than in the Sahel and Lake Chad Basin regions of sub-Saharan Africa, which are also grappling with the devastating consequences of climate change on livelihoods and development. Accordingly, we believe that recovery and resilience strategies must be centred on unique national and regional perspectives that address the root causes of violent conflict. Secondly, ensuring adequate, predictable and sustainable financing for peace and security activities remains a major challenge facing the African Union (AU), regional institutions and African States.”

  5. “Besides the many socioeconomic and development challenges, Africa’s Silencing the Guns by 2030 initiative also faces some hurdles related to the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, the expansion of terrorist activities across the continent, the recent wave of unconstitutional changes of Government and inadequate funding for regionally led peace support operations. In this regard, allow me to highlight four areas on which we must focus to accelerate the implementation of the African Union Master Roadmap of Practical Steps to Silence the Guns in Africa and to deliver greater success in the initiative’s remaining six years. First, promoting the development agenda is essential to enhancing national ownership of the Vision 2030 target.”

  6. “At the outset, let me congratulate the President of the Republic of Mozambique, His Excellency Mr. Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, for a successful presidency of the Security Council this month and for organizing today’s important meeting, particularly as this year marks the tenth anniversary of the collective proclamation by African leaders to silence the guns. I also wish to thank Under-Secretary-General Cristina Duarte, African Union High Representative Mohamed Ibn Chambas and other briefers for their insightful contributions to today’s debate. Peace, security and development in Africa remains an important but challenging global agenda.”
