Fight against terrorism in Africa: Creation of the AGS Foundation

On February 13, Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould El-Ghazaouani spoke by telephone with his counterparts in Congo and with Senegalese President Macky Sall: this foundation of public utility and Senegalese law will be headquartered in Dakar. The conversation continued on February 14 in the Senegalese capital with Presidents Museveni and Maky Sall.

The AGS Foundation will be open to all African states that subscribe to its objectives. It will allow for an in-depth exchange of information to improve the foreign and security policies of member states and to build a safer and more stable continent and world.

The project had been under discussion for nearly a year. Former Ugandan Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi was present at the Oyo and Dakar meetings, which were also attended by Jean-Yves Ollivier, an international mediator who will be vice president in charge of international relations. The latter is also Founding Chairman of the Brazzaville Foundation and Mr. Mbabazi is a member of its Advisory Board.
