Executive Summary
The G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg entered its final day with South Africa successfully adopting a declaration on global security, sustainability, trade, and multilateralism despite U.S. absence and objections. Authorities shifted focus to coordinated departures of heads of state amid warnings of significant traffic delays from VIP movements, while security forces handled a suspected hijacker and dispersed Operation Dudula protesters near the venue.
