C’est quoi l’incompatibilité? L’essentiel, c’est de reconnaître les différences et de respecter la culture de chacun.

Egypt has no exclusive authority in maintaining the security of the Red Sea. Such a belligerent policy did not work with the Nile. And, it won’t work with the Red Sea. This kind of sabre rattling by Egypt only exacerbates the regional tension.

This is déjà vu. Such sabre rattling wouldn’t serve any purpose except exacerbating the tension in the Horn of Africa. In the interest of ensuring regional security, AU must inform Egypt that it has no exclusive jurisdiction neither over the Nile River nor over the Red Sea.

A new Afghan emergency: thousands of Afghans expelled by Iran cross daily into their country — officials and aid agencies are striving to organize and help, but more funding is needed, especially in places where returnees head back to: reintegration will be a big, big challenge!

It is big challenge. I do know that other stakeholders such as the UNDP and the World Bank will join in to meet this challenge.

UN might want to set the record straight especially on issues such as climate change, migration (US did not sign the Global Migration Compact), an agreement which seeks to operationalize an orderly & dignified movement of people.António Guterres

Major Dawit is great Ethiopian who has served his country in various fields with distinction. He is a person with high integrity and a strategic mind. Kudos to everyone involved in organizing this event!!

It is not just that he will have a shaky mandate. But, instead of creating a smooth transition, his holding on to power at any cost could plunge Cameroun into chaos and conflict.

I believe Somalia did what any other country would have done when its air space is violated. And now, with Turkish air defence systems being deployed in Somalia along with F16 fighter jets, the Horn of Africa region is becoming an even more dangerous place.

I am surprised by the speed with which AU released a statement on US/Israel/ Iran conflict. Usually, when war rages on its backyards, and in many African countries, AU chooses to ignore or delay statements which are ambiguous.

Soyons clairs : entre les États-Unis et l’Iran, il y a un immense océan. Nous, Français, nous sommes tout proches. Et les conséquences de l’hubris américain nous reviennent de plein fouet : ils bombardent, nous payons l’addition. Les conséquences, nous les avons déjà payées, et

I do hope you talked about the implementation of the Global Compact because without effective responsibility-sharing, supporting refugees and host communities becomes an empty promise.

The timing of his report on Iran’s uranium enrichment which was released on the eve of the US/Israel invasion makes the candidate’s neutrality & integrity somewhat questionable.
