African Parliament issues 3 resolutions on combating terrorism, corruption, poverty
African Parliamentary Union wraps up proceedings today by issuing resolutions on three main issues: terrorism, corruption and poverty.
Discussions are still going on about formulation of the resolution to be announced on terrorism after Egypt and Morocco demanded a resolution dissociating Islam from terrorism and calling for halting all Israeli practices against the Palestinian.
Sudan called for drawing up a clear-cut definition of terrorism so that it does not involve national liberation movements, while Algeria requested joint measures by all countries under the umbrella of the UN to eliminate this phenomenon.
The conference also urged combatting poverty and fine-tuning the economic policies in formour of the have-nots.
