In the spirit of #AfricaDay2026, H.E. Amb. Maurice Makoloo was honoured to host H.E. Ms. Nardos Bekele-Thomas, Chief Executive Officer of AUDA NEPAD, at the Kenya High Commission in London.

Their meeting was an opportune moment to reflect on, among other matters:

1️⃣ Africa’s agency in shaping its own development trajectory, at a time when the world is experiencing tremendous shifts;

2️⃣ The criticality of Africa telling its own story: acknowledging the distance still to be covered, while celebrating and drawing confidence from the progress already made;

3️⃣ The reinvigoration of multilateralism in ways that secure fairer representation for Africa and reinforce existing platforms, including the United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON); and

4️⃣ Addressing Africa’s security needs, in their broadest sense, including energy, food, physical security, sovereignty, institutional resilience and development capacity.

Africa's future will be defined by the choices, capabilities and confidence of its people and institutions - and not by externally crafted narratives.

The High Commission will continue working closely with key African partners, including AUDA-NEPAD, Africa’s premier development agency, to advance the agenda of a continent that speaks for itself, acts with purpose, and delivers development that is visible in the lives of its people.

Joined Hon. Lady Justice Njoki Ndungu for the inaugural meeting of the inter-ministerial committee supporting her candidature for Judge of the International Criminal Court (2027–2036). As we enter the critical six-month countdown to the elections, our whole-of-government team, joining forces with the Judiciary and our key missions, is unified and strategically coordinated. Justice Ndungu’s stellar legal credentials and profound domestic judicial experience make her an exceptional candidate to advance the rule of law and international justice. @ForeignOfficeKE @NjokiNdungu_LJ

African Union Leaders Issue Joint #AfricaDay Call for Unity, Reform, and a Renewed Commitment to #Agenda2063.

On the occasion of Africa Day 2026, H.E. Mr. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC), and H.E. Mr. Évariste Ndayishimiye, President of the Republic of #Burundi and the Chairperson of the African Union, have issued a united call for accelerated integration, global governance reform, and concrete action to uplift every African citizen.

Marking 63 years since the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) – the precursor to the African Union (AU) – this year’s celebrations are held under the theme: “Sixty-three (63) Years of Unity, Integration and Development, Let's Celebrate Together."

In his statement, AUC Chairperson Youssouf @ymahmoudali underscored Africa’s growing prominence in international affairs, highlighted by the continent’s permanent membership in the G20. He reiterated the AU’s demand for a “fairer and more representative multilateral system,” including comprehensive reform of the United Nations Security Council to correct “long-standing historical injustice against our continent.”

AUC Chairperson Youssouf also welcomed global momentum on reparatory justice, commending Ghana’s leadership at the United Nations General Assembly in advancing the conversation on reparations and the enduring legacy of slavery and colonialism.

President Ndayishimiye, in his address, struck a sobering note, reminding the continent that celebration must coexist with collective awareness. He spoke directly to the millions of Africans enduring armed conflict, terrorism, climate disasters, and displacement.

“An African child deprived of education today is a part of Africa’s future that we are abandoning tomorrow,” President Ndayishimiye said. He called for education to be prioritized alongside humanitarian aid in refugee and internally displaced persons (IDP) settings, and urged stronger continental unity against terrorism, stating: “No country should be left alone to face this peril.”

Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to the African Continental Free Trade Area (@AfCFTA) as a vehicle for economic sovereignty, youth employment, and industrialization. President Ndayishimiye called on all African leaders to “speak with one voice” and place continental interests above narrow national concerns.

AUC Chairperson Youssouf highlighted the 2026 AU Theme of the Year: "Assuring Sustainable Water Availability and Safe Sanitation Systems to Achieve the Goals of Agenda 2063," noting that water security, climate resilience, and public health are foundational to Africa’s future.

In a moment of celebration, AUC Chairperson Youssouf noted that nine African national teams have qualified for the FIFA World Cup – the continent’s highest representation in history – reflecting the talent and ambition of Africa’s youth.

Both leaders expressed gratitude to AU staff, diplomats, partners, and friends of Africa for their solidarity. President Ndayishimiye concluded: “Long live a united Africa! Long live the African Union and happy Africa Day to all.”

AUC Chairperson Youssouf invoked the spirit of Ubuntu – “I am because we are” – urging all Africans to renew their faith in Pan-Africanism and the limitless potential of the continent’s people.
