African Union adopts Luanda Decision on conflict prevention

Overview

The 21st Extraordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government in Luanda, Angola, concluded with the formal adoption of the ‘Luanda Decision’. This decision, accompanied by a specific action plan, aims to strengthen continental conflict prevention and resolution by enhancing early warning systems, mediation, and rapid response capabilities.

Central to the summit's conclusion was the emphasis on sustainable financing to ensure African ownership of security priorities. Burundi President Évariste Ndayishimiye, acting as the AU's rotating chairperson, stressed that member states must take greater financial responsibility through the African Union Peace Fund and other innovative mechanisms to reduce dependence on unpredictable external funding. This aligns with previous calls from leaders like Ghana's John Dramani Mahama to utilize UN Security Council Resolution 2719 for financing AU-led operations.

To address evolving modern threats—including terrorism, violent extremism, and transnational crime—AU Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf called for an urgent reform of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA). This follows earlier technical diagnostics that identified political deficits, climate and technology intersections, and geopolitical interference as primary drivers of instability.
