EXPRESSES DEEP CONCERN over the continued threat of terrorism in Africa, particularly in the Sahelo-Saharan region, the Horn of Africa, including in Somalia, Kenya and Djibouti, as well as in the Central African region with the attacks carried out by the Lord Resistance Army (LRA). The Assembly STRONGLY CONDEMNS the attacks carried out by various terrorist groups, and EXPRESSES OUTRAGE at the cowardly kidnapping, by Boko Haram, of over two hundred young girls in northern Nigeria. The Assembly WELCOMES the ongoing AU‟s efforts to address the scourge of terrorism, notably through the cooperative mechanisms being implemented by the African Centre for the Study and Research on Terrorism (ACSRT), the Nouakchott Process, the Regional Cooperation Initiative for the Elimination of the Lord‟s Resistance Army (RCILRA) and AMISOM. The Assembly, in view of the seriousness of the threat posed by terrorism, STRESSES THE URGENCY of renewed efforts towards the effective implementation of the AU counter-terrorism framework, including the signing and ratification of the relevant instruments, notably the 1999 Algiers Convention on the Prevention and Combating of Terrorism and its 2004 Protocol, which entered into force on 26 February 2014. In this respect, the Assembly REQUESTS the PSC to devote a meeting, at summit level, to the issue of terrorism. The Assembly FULLY SUPPORTS the steps agreed upon by the Heads of Intelligence and Security Services of the countries of the SaheloSaharan region, at their 5th meeting held in Ouagadougou, on 20 and 21 May 2014, regarding Boko Haram, including the conduct of a study on the possible establishment of a Regional Task Force along the lines of the RCI-LRA, bearing in mind the initiatives underway within the framework of the Lake Chad Basin Commission, and STRESSES THE NEED for the urgent implementation of these measures. The Assembly EXPRESSES concern over the establishment of military bases on the continent that are designed to delay the operationalization of APSA and STRESSES the need for sustained support for the efforts being made by Africa to enhance its ownership and leadership in the fight against terrorism in Africa.
