Bravo à mon ami #AmarBendjama pour son intervention magistrale sur #SaharaOccidental au CS. Un discours clair & convaincant, réaffirmant les fondamentaux de la doctrine onusienne, la constance de la position de l’#Algérie & son rôle constructif pour une solution juste et durable.

Me réjouis de l’échec, après le veto russe, du projet de résolution sur #SaharaOccidental, qui risquait de dénaturer le processus de paix de l’#ONU et de le détourner de son objectif fondamental: une solution politique juste, durable et mutuellement acceptable par les 2 parties.
Russia and the United States vetoed rival resolutions on Western Sahara at the Security Council on Friday, leaving the UN peacekeeping mission there without a renewed mandate just a day before it expires. reuters.com/world/russia-vet…
J’ai appris avec tristesse le décès de #SidyaToure, ancien Premier ministre & homme d’État guinéen. J’ai eu l’honneur de le connaître & apprécier lors du dialogue interguinéen de 2013, que j’ai eu le privilège de faciliter. Condoléances à sa famille. Que la terre lui soit légère

I agree. This should also apply to the @_AfricanUnion . It needs to go back to its fundamentals: a lighter, more flexible and more dynamic organisation. Bureaucracy is killing motivation.
NEW OP-ED | Shrink the UN
The United Nations’ ambitious self-conception and its actual track record has grown too wide. A slimmer organisation may be the UN the world needs. @RichardGowan1 explains why in @ForeignAffairs.

I pledge to serve with loyalty, diligence, and dedication in pursuit of Uganda’s peace, prosperity, and strategic aspirations.

Triste nouvelle. J’adresse mes condoléances à la famille d’Ambroise. J’ai eu le plaisir de le connaître lorsqu’il a servi l’UA comment représentant spécial pour la Côte d’Ivoire. Grand professionnel et homme humble et élégant.
Homme de paix, Ambroise Niyonsaba s'est éteint à 76 ans.
Il a fait partie de la commission chargée d'étudier la question de l'unité nationale (1988-1991).
Il a représenté le gouvernement aux négociations d'Arusha (1998-2000).
Il a représenté l'UA en Côte d'Ivoire.

On 27 April, I had the privilege of briefing the @_AfricanUnion Peace and Security Council during its Open Session on Peace Support Operations (PSOs) in #Africa.
I highlighted the difficult peace and security situation on the continent, and stressed that PSOs can contribute to silencing the guns — but only if they are seen as one tool among many, firmly linked to political processes, targeted, time-bound, and carefully scoped, and grounded in a stronger AU–UN partnership.
Many thanks to the Ethiopian Presidency of the PSC @MFAEthiopia and the @AUC_PAPS for making this possible, and to @africa_amani for conveying my remarks to the PSC.
Below are the links to the remarks in both English and French:

Came to Dar visit my mentor Salim A. Salim. Seeing him weakened by illness,I reflect on the immense energy behind his monumental contribution to Africa’s freedom,the Third World’s struggle for peace & justice,& his role in transforming the OAU into @_AfricanUnion. @DrSalimArchive
Sharing a caricature I drew in March 1997 of Amb. #KongitWoldemariamSinegiorgis , reflecting the respect, admiration,& friendship I had for her. A great woman & sister, a woman of integrity and duty. She chaired OAU/AU meetings with fairness and rigor. May her soul rest in peace.

A welcome move—one that befits the homeland of #KwameNkrumah. Free movement for Africans is not only right in principle, it is smart economics—boosting trade, tourism, and more. Let us hope others across the continent follow suit.
President John Mahama has today announced that the Government of Ghana has decided to introduce a free visa regime for all Africans who wish to visit Ghana.
The new policy takes effect on May 25, a day which is commemorated as Africa Day.
President Mahama made the declaration during the inaugural State Visit of President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe to Ghana.
Ghana seeks to consolidate its credentials as the cradle of Pan-Africanism even as it expects a major boost in tourism and intra-African trade by this groundbreaking reform.
The Free Visa for Africans would be a component of a new e-Visa policy the Mahama Administration is launching next month.
President Mahama also assured that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would continue with its intentional and determined effort at securing more Visa Waiver Agreements for Ghanaian passport holders. Since last year, 23 Visa Waiver Agreements have been negotiated for Ghanaians.
For God, Country and Continent.
Welcome to Rwanda in Algeria and best wishes in the accomplishment of your mission towards further strengthening Algeria Rwanda friendship and cooperation and african integration.
Triste d’apprendre décès Président #Zeroual. Homme de devoir, militaire entré en politique par pur patriotisme, il est resté droit dans ses bottes : juste, digne & respectueux des institutions. Condoléances à sa famille et peuple algérien qui perd grand homme. Allah yerahmou. 🇩🇿

This reinforces the reputational downward spiral of France's image in Africa. All the French initiatives and Summits focused on Africa will not compensate for such clear demonstrations of disdain.
France has disinvited South African President Cyril Ramaphosa from the G7 summit due in June because of US pressure, the South African presidency reported as saying

J’adresse mes condoléances à la famille de notre aîné #NoureddineDjoudi que j’ai bien connu quand il était secrétaire général adjoint de l’OUA où il a laissé une belle emprunte. Homme informé et charmant, il a été un grand diplomate. Que son âme repose en paix.
