MBABANE: Prime Minister Cleopas Sipho Dlamini says African countries adopted a resolution to work collectively in fighting terrorism and unconstitutional change of Governments.

Addressing the media on Tuesday after his return from Equitorial Guinea where he attended the African Summit on Terrorism and Unconstitutional Change of Governments, the Prime Minister said African countries pledged to address the scourge at infancy.

“African countries united in condemning terrorism and unconstitutional change of Governments and pledged to address the scourge at infancy. It was noted that acts of terrorism and unconstitutional change of Governments affect socio-economic development and sets Africa backwards. These acts are further exacerbated by external funding and the misuse of social media platforms to promote acts of terrorism,"said the PM as quoted by Government online platforms.
