Former Foreign Affairs Minister and ex-UN Special Envoy on Darfur, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, has expressed confidence that the African Union (AU) is taking concrete steps to find home-grown solutions to the continent’s pressing challenges, including insecurity, economic instability, peace, and governance.
Gambari, who also served as Chief of Staff to the late President Muhammadu Buhari, gave the assurance while reacting to his recent appointment into the AU High-Level Panel.
He said the development reflects the Union’s commitment to drawing from Africa’s own pool of seasoned leaders and experts to address its crises rather than depending solely on external interventions.
According to him, Africa’s resilience and future prosperity depend on strengthening regional institutions, deepening cooperation among member states, and adopting solutions that are tailored to the continent’s realities.
Gambari pledged to contribute his wealth of diplomatic and governance experience to the Panel’s work, stressing that Africa must seize the opportunity to chart a path towards sustainable peace, security, and development.
