Why I Am Stepping Forward for the African Union Youth Envoy

There is a profound difference between waiting for an opportunity and preparing for a mission. As I get ready to submit my formal application for the African Union Youth Envoy position, I want to share why this journey matters so deeply to me, and why it matters for the millions of young people across our continent. This is about a lifelong commitment to service, real representation, and building a direct, youth-to-youth connection that spans from the grassroots to the global stage.

A Journey Shaped by the Borderlands and Beyond

My dedication to the African youth agenda isn't abstract or academic. It is deeply personal, rooted in my very origin. I was born in Moyale, a vibrant border town between Ethiopia and Kenya. Growing up at this geographic and cultural crossroads taught me to speak six languages fluently, but its greatest gift was teaching me how to truly listen and find common ground where others see divisions.

My path, however, was also shaped by the heavy realities of displacement. As a refugee in Kenya, I lived the raw experiences of surviving on the margins. I know firsthand what it means to face systemic barriers, to feel the uncertainty of being displaced, and yet to see the immense, untapped brilliance that resides within our refugee camps and vulnerable communities.

These early chapters fueled a creative drive to redefine what leadership looks like for those of us who had to build our lives from the ground up.

Moving Past Boardrooms to Ground-Level Action

Over the years, I have worked to turn those profound life lessons into actionable advocacy, bridging the gap between high-level diplomacy and everyday reality. My path has taken me from local, on-the-ground activism to serving as the first-ever Permanent Representative of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and bringing strong, uncompromised youth voices into the multilateral spaces of the United Nations. As a young diplomat, I have navigated complex global systems and seen how policies are crafted at the highest levels. But more importantly, I have seen how often the actual, lived experiences of displaced youth, young activists, and ordinary citizens are left outside the room.

The African Union doesn't need top-down rhetoric. It needs a leadership that is actively, aggressively responsive to the actual needs of the youth.
The Leadership Our Continent Demands True continental leadership requires an organic, youth-to-youth interaction. We need an Envoy who doesn't just deliver speeches from a podium, but someone who sits with the youth on the ground, listens to their creative solutions, and builds structural pathways so they can speak for themselves. Africa’s youth, including our most vulnerable, displaced, and resilient populations, are the primary drivers of our continent’s energy and innovation right now. Our leadership must mirror that exact vitality.

I am preparing to apply for this role because I believe my journey allows me to serve as a true bridge. By combining the lived perspective of a former refugee with years of hard-earned multilateral diplomatic experience, I want to ensure that the realities of the ground shape the policies of our future. This is an open declaration of my intent to serve, to connect, and to listen. The future of Africa belongs to us, and it is time we shape it together.

Growing used to limitations doesn’t mean you belong within them.The walls you see daily may feel familiar, but they were never meant to define your freedom & worth. You were created to rise,explore, & live- stepping beyond fear without mistaking the 'cage for home.@alejodorowsky

Don't expect change or innovation if the same people keep gathering with the same ideas but different events and you have been part of such groups.

Reminder: Stagnant water is rarely a source of new life; progress flows where fresh perspectives enter. 🤏

Yes, the wounds are real. But so are your courage, creativity, and compassion. Amid the loss & the silence, remember this: Our story is not only of suffering but also of survival,spirit, and the ability to build again; within yourself lies resilience.

The only way out of poverty and drought is education. The University of Manchester offers scholarships to students from six countries, including Ethiopia.

@Sesenbahita @tesfay_abe It all comes down to communication skills, meaning, purpose, and social and personal validation, which reflect psychological well-being and healthy social systems.

How are #Tigray's elites shaping the future?

Through a psychological lens,Girmay's interview clashed with values like empathy, resilience, & emotional growth. It echoed bitterness over healing, blame over reflection.His feelings are valid, and he needs support, not spectacle.

@Zantana_G A perfect example of Stockholm syndrome!

[ZᴇᴍᴀTɪɢʀᴀʏ @ZemaTigray]

@tigraionline @TiborPNagyJr What do you understand by ' competition'? I understand choice in this sense. I am not sure what your motive is to jump to that dark conclusion, but this is hope, optimism, and choice for the people of Tigray—maybe not for cliques and those who benefit from fear and manipulation.

[ZᴇᴍᴀTɪɢʀᴀʏ @ZemaTigray]

@reda_getachew It’s timely and much needed to even think that there’s a political party woven in merit and practical political knowledge that advocates for Tigray’ people’s needs, justice, truth, peace and harmony beyond East Africa, In doing so… refer to the attached notes image.

[ZᴇᴍᴀTɪɢʀᴀʏ @ZemaTigray]

@TigrayDF Hopefully, people will wake up and know where the money is spent, what legacy they want to leave behind, and what these ego-centric, non-evidence-based media would add to Tigray's value and healing process. It pains me to learn that people still follow and listen to such media.

💚Tigray’s media must evolve. Degrees and donations mean little if truth, healing, and global advocacy are ignored. Media should amplify the voiceless, not egos. Without integrity and literacy, we risk losing a generation and our future.

@cherinet_ @Penn Congratulations ቸርነት ሓወይ! I wish you a journey guided by integrity, competence, professionalism, and a deep commitment to equity, justice, and the public good to uphold ethical governance, accountability, transparency, and respect for the rule of law at all times. Cheers.
