Only a few west African Leaders are absent from todays summit one of the president markets are is unavoidably absent because he had such ending the g. 20 summit now a lot of leaders are here in person to participate in this summit and one of the common denominator in all the speeches delivered at the Opening Ceremony of this summit is the issue of security from the current chairman of the organization and mohamed widely of nigeria to be a course Commission Chairman and of course the special representative of the United Nations the issue of attacks and the rising violence in this hell and the west african sub region as a whole has occupied a very prominent place in their speeches president Mahmoud Abbas who said despite the progress of my head the issue of violence that is spreading across the region is a source of concern.
