Happening Now: The African Urban Forum is taking place in Addis Ababa from September 4th to 6th, 2024. This significant 3-day event focuses on inclusive and sustainable urbanization in Africa, exploring innovative solutions to ensure our cities thrive as centers of hope and prosperity.
The choice of Addis Ababa as the host city is no coincidence. As the political and diplomatic capital of Africa, #AddisAbaba embodies the spirit of progress and unity that the African Urban Forum seeks to promote. This event is a testament to the city's growing role as a hub for meaningful dialogue and action on the continent's most pressing urban challenges.
We must commend the city administration, @MayorAddisAbaba led by Mayor @AdanechAbiebie for their tireless efforts in making Addis Ababa a model of sustainable urban development. Their commitment to improving infrastructure, housing, and public services has made Addis a beacon of hope for other African cities striving for inclusive growth.
Likewise, we cannot overlook the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, @AbiyAhmedAli whose dedication to Ethiopia's development has created an environment where such significant gatherings can take place. His administration's focus on innovation, sustainability, and regional collaboration has positioned Ethiopia as a leader in addressing urbanization challenges across Africa.
The African Urban Forum in Addis Ababa is more than just a meeting—it's an opportunity to chart a path forward for the continent's cities, ensuring they become vibrant, sustainable centers of opportunity for all. #African_urbanForum2024 #Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 @PMEthiopia

In Gofa Zone, Geze Gofa Woreda, Kencho Shacha Gozdi Kebele, a sudden landslide has claimed the lives of many citizens. I am deeply saddened by this terrible loss. Following the accident, the Federal Disaster Prevention Task Force has been deployed to the area and is working to reduce the impact of the disaster.

We signed a sisterhood agreement with @dusengiyumvas , Rwanda. The agreement intends to strengthen cooperation between the two flourishing African cities #Addisababa and @CityofKigali.
It will lay the foundation for the two cities to peer learn and work together on the matters of sustainable city development, waste management, youth and sports, green development and ecotourism, traffic management, and city diplomacy to strengthen our people-to-people relations.
