{{The Secretary General of the East Africa Community (EAC), Ambassador Dr. Richard Sezibera has called for joint efforts in suppressing emerging security threats in East Africa saying the success of bloc\u2019s integration process relies heavily on its stability.}}<\/p>\n
Presiding over the 5th meeting of Sectoral Council on Inter-State Security in Kigali on August 27, He noted that implementation of freedoms and rights enshrined in the Common Market Protocol largely depends on the sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs East Africa deepens her integration process, the people of the region expects their individual and collective security to improve. <\/p>\n
The expectation is that the threat of terrorism, trafficking in person and narcotics as well as other transnational security threats will be managed in a smarter way,\u201d Sezibera said.<\/p>\n
Dr. Sezibera noted that as the bloc enters a Single Customs territory and also within the tripartite arrangement, it will certainly come with challenges. <\/p>\n
He called for increased information sharing and more pooling of national resources to deal with ever evolving global and regional security landscape.<\/p>\n
\u201cCooperation with other organizations with peace and security mandate is critical to removing artificial geographical barriers, contradictions duplication and wastage of resources and time,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
