THE 2007 SADC Summit held in Lusaka, Zambia will be remembered for the historic launch of the SADC Brigade, a regional multidimensional peace support operations capability established under the framework of the African Standby Force.
The SADC Brigade, launched through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by southern African leaders on 17 August, was established to guarantee peace, security and political stability, which are prerequisites for development.
