Algiers, Algeria | January 26th, 2025 — In a major diplomatic breakthrough, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has officially adopted a statement based on a proposal from Algeria, recognizing President Abdelmadjid Tebboune as a leading figure in the fight against terrorism. The statement, which affirms Algeria’s pivotal role in bolstering African security, highlights Tebboune’s advocacy for enhanced cooperation between the African Union and the UN in addressing the growing threat of terrorism across the continent.

Bengrina Abdelkader, a prominent Algerian political leader and President of El Bina Movement, praised the move, emphasizing that the resolution reinforces Algeria’s leadership in the global fight against terrorism. “The UN Security Council adopts a statement, initiated by Algeria, that solidifies President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s role in combating terrorism as a supporter of the African Union. This step strengthens UN-African Union cooperation and establishes an unprecedented annual follow-up mechanism, confirming Algeria’s leadership in supporting continental security,” tweeted Bengrina.

The resolution, adopted on the heels of a high-level discussion on combating terrorism in Africa on January 21, 2025, marks a momentous step in recognizing the institutional structures dedicated to counter-terrorism within Africa, notably the African Intelligence and Security Committee, the African Standby Force’s Counter-Terrorism Unit, and Afripol. These mechanisms, acknowledged in the statement, have become essential pillars in the continent’s fight against the growing threat of terrorism. The resolution signifies a critical endorsement of the maturity of Africa’s own security architecture and its increasing role in managing regional challenges.

As noted by Bengrina’s tweet, this resolution highlights Algeria’s strategic diplomatic efforts to consolidate Africa’s counter-terrorism approach. Through this initiative, President Tebboune’s role is elevated on the global stage, marking him as a key figure in advocating for African solutions to African problems. His peers in Africa have entrusted him with this responsibility, recognizing the severe and complex consequences of terrorism on the continent.

The adopted statement does more than honor President Tebboune’s leadership; it sets a groundbreaking precedent for future international cooperation in addressing terrorism in Africa. The Security Council’s endorsement of Algeria’s proposal includes a call for the United Nations Secretary-General to submit annual reports detailing joint efforts between the African Union and the United Nations in the fight against terrorism. This measure establishes an unprecedented mechanism for monitoring progress and ensuring that the ongoing collaboration remains effective and results-oriented.

The statement also highlights the necessity of combining security efforts with sustainable development initiatives. Minister Ahmed Attaf, who presided over the discussions, emphasized that the trajectory of terrorism in Africa is unsustainable and requires a holistic approach that integrates both security measures and socio-economic development. This vision is encapsulated in the newly adopted statement, which calls for a cohesive strategy that addresses the root causes of terrorism while strengthening security frameworks across the continent.

In light of these developments, the UN Security Council’s adoption of the statement is not merely a recognition of Algeria’s leadership in the African Union; it is a step towards institutionalizing Africa’s counter-terrorism strategies within the broader framework of international cooperation.
