Africa in a Fractured World, an op-ed authored by Foreign Minister @GHessebon, examines how geopolitical rivalry is reshaping trade, investment, and security, and how Africa should navigate a rapidly changing global order by turning emerging competition into an advantage.

Lafto Hospital has been inaugurated!
In line with Ethiopia’s improved preventive and curative healthcare policy, Lafto Hospital marks a transformative milestone in realizing our vision of making the country a leading destination for medical tourism, reducing the large outflow of foreign currency spent on medical treatment abroad, and continuing the development of similar advanced specialized healthcare institutions.
Built on 5.4 hectares of land, the modern and massive Lafto Hospital provides internationally standard medical treatment for illnesses such as cancer, complex heart diseases, and related medical conditions, enabling citizens to access specialized healthcare services within their own country. Beyond transforming healthcare delivery, this major institution stands as a living testament to Ethiopia’s strong commitment to self-reliance and national development across all sectors.

Today, I had the privilege of speaking at the Africa Day celebration organized by the African Union in Addis Ababa.
Africa Day serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience of Pan-Africanism, the sacrifices made by our forebears, and our collective aspiration for a united, peaceful, and prosperous Africa.
As the continent continues to advance, we must deepen collaboration, empower our youth, modernize our economies, and pursue the ambitions of Agenda 2063.
In an era marked by global uncertainty, Africa holds immense potential to emerge as a driving force for sustainable development, renewable energy, and stronger international partnerships.
Together, let us strive to make Africa a true tree of life, bringing opportunity, dignity, and prosperity to all its people.
