African Union shows support for India's stance on terrorism

| @indiablooms | Jun 01, 2025, at 07:20 pm

The Chief of Peace Committee, Security Council of the African Union, Billy Winter, has expressed support to India over its stand against terrorism amid the recent Pahalgam terror attack, which left 26 people killed.

He said India and the African Union are facing the same menace of terrorism.

Speaking to ANI, Billy Winter said, "We are with India in these trying moments. We, as the African Union Commission, condemn terrorism in the strongest terms, whether on the African continent, globally, or on the Indian side. However, we have shared experiences. As far as the African Union, we have also had this menace of terrorism across a number of member states."

"So, our experience and how we respond to this, we have discussed with the high-level multi-party delegation from India, and they have also shared their experiences and committed to jointly working together to eliminate this menace once and for all," he said.

In his remarks, he expressed that India has a right to respond to acts of terrorism as it is a "sovereign right".

Speaking about India's new approach towards countering terrorism, he said, "The new doctrine of India, we have been told, says that wherever the terrorist is on the globe, if it strikes on Indian soil, then India has the right to respond. And that is obvious, because the right to respond is a sovereign right on every state that has been afflicted by this menace."

The Indian government launched the global outreach programme in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack and India's counter strike, Operation Sindoor.
