H.E. @ymahmoudali distinguished service as Foreign Minister of #Djibouti for over 2 decades, coupled with his able chairmanship of the IGAD Council & the AU PSC makes him a fitting candidate for the role of the AUC chairperson to replace @AUC_MoussaFaki!
Given the significant global challenges confronting Africa, a seasoned leader capable of navigating complexities with pragmatism & efficacy to foster unity & coherence is what is needed.
Just in: The Republic of #Djibouti fronts the name of its Foreign Minister H.E Mahamoud Ali Youssouf for the role of the African Union Commission chairperson! Eastern Africa now has 3 contenders!
