His Excellency the President Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya AJJ Jammeh
will return to Banjul to Banjul today, Tuesday, July 17th 2012 at 1500hrs
from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where he attended the 19th Ordinary Session of
the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union.


All those invited to see His Excellency the president on arrival are

The Summit

The 19th ordinary session of the Assembly of heads of state and government
of the African Union (AU) opened Sunday in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia with the
leaders of 53 nations pushing for improved inter-regional trade to the
continent from the scourge of perpetual dependency.


Security was also on the front burner as speaker after speaker at the
gathering that included heads of international organisations and
institutions, lamented the worsening poverty levels and instability on the
continent.


They reeled out a catalogue of woes such as burgeoning flashpoints (Mali,
Sudan, Guinea, renewed violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the
Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria among others) and then called for greater
solidarity among the states in order to realise the lofty goals of the
newly launched African Solidarity Initiative (ISI).


Known as Africa Helping Africa, the initiative has been launched in support
of post conflict reconstruction and development in Africa.
