The Republic of #Djibouti assumes the role of chairing the @_AfricanUnion Peace & Security Council (PSC) for the month of December. The PSC is the standing decision-making organ of the AU for the prevention, management & resolution of conflicts.

The announcement by President Ruto of #Kenya on the planned meeting to bring together the leadership of #Ethiopia & #Somalia should be welcomed by all. This is very important for regional stability. Kudos to EAC and IGAD leaders for fostering dialogue in these critical times!

Let’s merge #EAC and #IGAD

Reports of #Sudanese authorities opening the Adré border crossing with Chad for 3 months to facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict in the western #Darfur region is a welcome move & will help avert the dire food security situation.

Continue the dialogue: round 3 of the #Ethiopia - #Somalia talks mediated by the Government of #Turkiye will take place in September.

Delighted to see the #Sudan mediation process get underway in Geneva today. I pray the parties agree to an immediate cessation of hostilities and humanitarian truce
