The meeting forms part of Obasanjo’s broader mission to advance peace and stability on the African continent, particularly through his role as a key facilitator in the recently unified Luanda-Nairobi peace process.
Former Nigerian President and respected African statesman, His Excellency Olusegun Obasanjo, paid a courtesy visit to Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa at State House in Harare today, in a high-level diplomatic engagement aimed at bolstering regional peace efforts.
The meeting forms part of Obasanjo’s broader mission to advance peace and stability on the African continent, particularly through his role as a key facilitator in the recently unified Luanda-Nairobi peace process. This continental initiative seeks to resolve the long-standing conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a region plagued by decades of violence and insecurity.
The Luanda-Nairobi process brings together an influential coalition of African leaders, including Kenyan President William Ruto – who currently chairs the initiative – former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, former Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, Ethiopian President Sahle-Work Zewde, and former Central African Republic President Catherine Samba-Panza.
