At ABLA 2026, Gen. William E. "Kip" Ward — first Commander of AFRICOM — paid tribute to the African Leadership Organisation's mission of forging partnerships for stability, peace, and security across the continent. His remarks singled out Chairman Dr. Jakaya Kikwete , a leader Gen. Ward has known for two decades, for steering that vision. Nations working together isn't rhetoric — it's the infrastructure of security. That's the case ALO continues to make on the global stage. #ABLA2026 #AfricanLeadershipOrganisation #FromVisionToVelocity #AFRICOM #DrJakayaKikwete #PanAfricanLeadership #AfricaGlobalPartnerships #AfricaRising
