MINUTES OF THE SITTING OF WEDNESDAY, 3 DECEMBER 2014

(The sitting opened at 9.05 a.m.)

IN THE CHAIR: Fitz A. JACKSON

Co-President

The Chair recalled that owing to an important vote in the Italian parliament, the Italian President-in-Office was not able to attend the session, and therefore all items requiring the presence of the EU Council had been taken off the agenda.

1. Urgent topic No 2: The expansion of terrorism in Africa

Claude Moniquet, Director of the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Centre, referred to the most recent terrorist attacks in Africa and stressed that there were about ten organisations aiming to increase their impact and geographical scope in Africa and that were able to draw on the lack of opportunities for young people.

Speakers: Michael Gahler, Abadula Gemeda Dago (Ethiopia), Kashetu Kyenge, Netty Baldeh (Gambia), Ahamada Soukouna (Mali), Co-President Louis Michel, Mohamed El Moctar Zamel (Mauritania), Mohamed Ben Oumar (Niger), Komi Selom Klassou (Togo), Ignazio Corrao, Adjedoue Weidou (Chad), Jeanne d’Arc Uwimanimpaye (Rwanda), Jean-Luc Schaffhauser, Joachim Zeller, Joyce Laboso (Kenya), Mariya Gabriel and Musa Hussein Naib (Eritrea).

Members stressed that both long-term action to tackle the root causes and an urgent stepping-up of international efforts were necessary to deal with the increasing threats from terrorist networks. They underlined the linkages with organised crime and the increasing efforts of African countries to combat terrorism, which required coordination and support from the international community in order to appropriately deal with a globalised problem.

Claude Moniquet wound up the debate. Kristin de Peyron (EEAS) made concluding remarks.

2. The challenge of national reconciliation in post conflict and post crisis countries

Committee on Political Affairs

Co-rapporteurs: Komi Selom Klassou (Togo) and Joachim Zeller

Komi Selom Klassou (Togo) and Joachim Zeller presented the report

Speakers: Boniface Yêhouétomè (Benin), Mariya Gabriel, Mo-Mamo Karerwa (Burundi), Laurent Ngon-Baba (Central African Republic), Co-President Louis Michel, Bodil Ceballos, Netty Baldeh (Gambia), Ignazio Corrao, Jean-Luc Schaffhauser, Michael Gahler, Ahamada Soukouna (Mali), Kashetu Kyenge, Davor Ivo Stier, Jeanne d’Arc Uwimanimpaye (Rwanda), Francesc Gambús, Adjedoue Weidou (Chad) and Sangoné Sall (Senegal).

Members emphasised that failing reconciliation after a conflict would result in repeated and renewed conflict. They agreed that finding a fair balance between transitional justice and reconciliation, memory and social peace was a precondition to achieving lasting and sustainable reconciliation. Members stressed that specific national and local aspects needed to be taken into account and that it was not sufficient to work on reconciliation at national level only, but that all groups needed to be included at local level, in particular women and young people.

The co-rapporteurs wound up the debate.

(The sitting adjourned at 11.05 and resumed at 12.10.)
