As we gather for the 2026 African Development Bank @AfDB_Group Annual Meetings here in Brazzaville ๐จ๐ฌ โ this high place of African memory and emancipation โ I am deeply honored to represent H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf @ymahmoudali , Chairperson of the @_AfricanUnion Commission.
Today is not merely a date on the calendar. It is the heartbeat of our common destiny: Africa Day. A day that reminds us that pan-Africanism is not just a historical legacy, but a living responsibility, renewed by each generation and driven by leaders who refuse the fragmentation of our continent.
In these meetings, as we seek to address financing gaps, climate resilience, water security โ and the AU theme of the Year 2026 โ we do so guided by the spirit of Ubuntu: "I am because we are."
Our founding Fathers dreamed of a United, Peaceful, and Prosperous Africa. Today, the African Union Commission and the Bank, hand in hand with member states, we are determined to turn that dream into reality.
Happy Africa Day to every daughter and son of this majestic continent. Together, we are writing the next chapter of the Africa we want.

Africa is navigating some of the worldโs hardest challenges with determination, creativity & resilience โ solving problems in an international environment that is polarised, unpredictable & volatile.
The @UN stands with Africa for peace, sustainable development & climate justice.
The absence of permanent African seats on the Security Council is indefensible.
The Security Council must reflect todayโs world. This is 2026 โ not 1946.
Whenever decisions about Africa and the world are on the table, Africa must be at the table.
My favourite African magazine asked me to write about a topic that is very close to my heart. And so an essay was born. Thank you @republicjournal for this opportunity. Happy reading and I wish all a happy holiday season. #lastpostof2024
โUnderstanding which countries are successfully building sovereign technology stacks and which remain dependent on foreign-controlled infrastructure determines where strategic advantage will accumulate over the next decadeโ.

The primary objective of this market research is to identify opportunities and risks related to export/import activities, as well as trading and logistics for exporters, importers, producers, and logistics companies. The report aims to:
1 Identify the most promising markets for the good analyzed;
2 Highlight the most risky and declining markets;

This morning, during the 1277th session of the AU Peace & Security Council (PSC), members convened to review the political transition in the Republic of Gabon.
AU Chairperson H.E. @ymahmoudali commended Gabon for the peaceful conduct of its April 2025 elections & its return to constitutional order. He encouraged the Council to acknowledge the country's democratic progress & to consider the lifting of its 2023 suspension, stating: โGabon deserves to regain its rightful place within the greater African family.โ
The Council lifted the suspension in the afternoon.
Excellent meeting with @_AfricanUnion Commission Deputy Chairperson Selma Malika Haddadi @DCP_Haddadi. We discussed key challenges and opportunities for the EU-AU partnership ahead of our joint Ministerial and Summit, marking 25 years of relations.
Deeply moved by everyone who came to see me off at the airport, your warm wishes mean the world. As I close this chapter, Iโm proud of the work weโve done together to advance the AUโs mission. The journey continues, and I carry our shared achievements with pride.
