On behalf of the African Union and the Republic of #Burundi, I extend my warmest fraternal congratulations to my esteemed brother, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (@AbiyAhmedAli), as well as the Prosperity Party, on their notable victory in the Ethiopian parliamentary elections.
This renewed democratic mandate reflects the trust and confidence of the people of Ethiopia in your leadership to guide the nation toward sustainable peace, stability, and economic growth.
As the historic host nation of our Union, a strong, unified, and prosperous Ethiopia remains pivotal to the advancement of our shared continental agenda. At this defining juncture, we look forward to continuing our close collaboration to strengthen regional integration, enhance democratic governance, and champion "African solutions to African problems."
Together, let us continue to inspire a more unified, prosperous, and peaceful Africa.
