The 5⃣th Joint Retreat of the #AUPSC and the African Peer Review Mechanism (#APRM) has officially begun at Kuriftu African Village in #Burayu, 🇪🇹. Over two days, we focus on governance, early warning, and preventive diplomacy for a peaceful Africa.

H.E. Ato Bereket Fisehatsion Tesfamariam, State Minister of Planning and Development of #Ethiopia and #APRM Focal Point, welcomed delegates. He reaffirmed Ethiopia’s commitment to advancing governance and preventive diplomacy as pillars of continental stability.

H.E. Amb. @Bankole_Adeoye underlined the importance of bridging early warning with early action and preventive diplomacy. The synergy between the #PSC and #APRM offers a unique pathway to address the root causes of conflict.

H.E. Ambassador Hirut Zemene, Permanent Representative of #Ethiopia to the AU and #PSC Chair for April 2026, and H.E. Professor Olive Mugenda, Chairperson of the APR Panel of Eminent Persons, jointly called for institutional coherence. Preventive diplomacy works best when African instruments move together.

No matter where we come from, protecting our Earth is a shared responsibility.

We need more ambitious #ClimateAction — for our planet and the generations to come.

They end when leaders choose dialogue over destruction.

That choice still exists.

And it must be made -- now."
