Adly Saadawi: African Integration Essential to Confront Crises and External Interference

Dr. Adly Saadawi, a member of the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs, said African integration is a necessity for confronting crises and external interference.

Saadawi made the remarks while discussing President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s address at the opening session of the African Union’s eighth mid-year coordination summit.

His assessment placed integration at the centre of Africa’s response to the challenges it faces, linking closer cooperation to the continent’s ability to deal with crises.

Saadawi also identified external interference as a challenge requiring a collective African approach, underscoring his view that integration is a necessity rather than an optional goal.
