SUBJECT: AFRICAN UNION EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 
25, 2006 
 
 1.  (U) SUMMARY. Opening the African Union (AU) Executive 
Council of Foreign Ministers, 
AU Commission Chairperson Alpha Konare said he was addressing 
the group for the last time 
as Chair of the AU Commission.  Konare noted that the next AU 
Summit (late June in Ghana) member states will elect a new 
commission, and on September 16 the current AU Commission 
will hand over responsibility to that new Commission.  He 
reviewed the remaining conflicts 
in Africa, successes of the AU and new directions.  Konare 
closed with the exhortation: 
we are not giving up, the struggle for Africa is a struggle 
for generations, calling on 
the group to ensure the African Renaissance and pride in 
being African.  Other opening 
speakers included:  UN Economic Commission for Africa 
Adboulie Janneh, who spoke 
encouragingly of Africa,s sustained economic growth while 
noting some challenges and 
Congo,s Foreign Minister Rudolphe Adada, Chairperson of the 
Executive Council. 
Observers were asked to leave the AU plenary hall following 
the 90 minutes of opening 
remarks. 
 
2.  (U) Countries of Concern: 
Reviewing several country situations, Konare spoke of his joy 
at the release of Burundi,s former President Ndayizeye, 
saying this action will strengthen Burundi,s young 
democracy.  Konare said the status and condition of former 
leaders should engage African,s attention, 
as indicators of democratic protection and restraint.  He 
said Africa must end waste and 
lost opportunity, thus was compelled to note what has been 
happening in Guinea where he 
hopes the just-initiated dialogue will resolve the crisis. 
He said that the DR Congo 
needs support now after its recent successful elections. 
 
3.  (U) Darfur: 
Konare mentioned Darfur and the spillover of that crisis to 
Chad and the Central African Republic, but the hopeful sign 
of the AU-UN-Sudan agreement on UN assistance to AMIS. Konare 
spoke bluntly of Darfur, saying this so called silent war is 
not silent, that all were witnessing it, how can the AU 
members be content to just issue communiques when the 
situation in Darfur is in contradiction to all the AU rules? 
 
4.  (U) Somalia: 
Konare noted that for years the AU has been calling attention 
to Somalia, and now the 
situation requires that the AU mobilize and deploy the needed 
8,000 troops for its mission 
as soon as possible, since Ethiopia has begun withdrawing 
troops as it said it would. 
He said Uganda, Ghana and Nigeria were ready, Malawi has 
shown some willingness and the 
AU has approached other countries.  While appealing for 
material, funding and even airplanes, he noted the AU cannot 
leave all this to donor partners, Africans themselves should 
step up.  Konare said that the deployment of troops is not a 
solution for the Somali problem, it allows 
a space for all inclusive political dialogue (expecting those 
who advocate holy war, who press territorial claims from past 
era or who,d seek to fight.) 
 
5.  (U) Issues to Move Forward: 
Konare emphasized the need for popular input into the AU, 
saluting NGO,s and Civil Society helping the AU become a 
Union of the peoples.  He also saluted the Press especially 
those 
who refused to remain silent on issues, and said that freedom 
of expression is a non-negotiable and essential thing.  He 
said the African Charter on Democracy and Governance should 
move forward, regretting the time it took to move from one 
expert meeting to another.  He hoped 
that a distinctive African Diplomatic Passport would soon be 
possible, and said the continent needs more progress on free 
movement of goods and peoples. He criticized the phenomenon 
of silent war (Darfur) and the mercenaries who take Africa,s 
wealth and serve its conflicts, 
and the besieging of Africa,s youth by drugs use. 
 
6.  (U) UNECA on Continued Economic Growth: 
UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) Director General 
Janneh said increase in prices for Africa,s natural 
resources and improved macroeconomic situations helped move 
the overall growth rate form 5.2 percent in 2005 to 5.7 
 
ADDIS ABAB 00000264  002 OF 002 
 
 
percent in 2006, forecasting a 5.8 percent rate in 2007. 
However, this was still not enough for Africa to meet its 
2015 Millennium Development Goals, 
he said.  Janneh urged more work on peace and security, 
inter-African trade, adequate infrastructure, empowering of 
women and youth, and a fair use of Africa,s resources.  He 
noted that during the recent AU Trade Ministerial, he had 
discussions with WTO head Pascal Lamy, since Africa had the 
most to gain from a fair and balanced global trade system 
which the stalled Doha round would provide.  Touching on the 
Summit theme of Science and Technology for Development, 
Janneh said that many African states do not put enough of 
their GDP into research and development or the educational 
infrastructure needed to train scientist and technicians. 
There is also a lack of technical-academia-national policy 
interaction, and of public-private partnerships for 
scientific and technological research. 
 
7.  (U) Congolese Foreign Minister Adada Remarks: 
Republic of Congo Foreign Minister Adada highlighted his 
country,s role in the Cote d'Ivoire mediation, and saluted 
ECOWAS for naming Burkina-Faso President Compaore as a 
facilitator to this.  He expressed hope that the AU-UN Hybrid 
Force would be a way to restrain the conflict and Darfur, 
while emphasizing that diplomatic efforts are also necessary. 
 He said the Transitional Federal institutions of Somalia and 
the Transitional Federal Government and 
Somali people should be assisted through rapid deployment of 
an AU force.
