The @_AfricanUnion and @ecowas_cedeao have launched a three-day technical engagement in #Abuja 🇳🇬 to strengthen collaboration between the Continental Early Warning System (#CEWS) and #ECOWARN. Building on the 2025 #AU–#ECOWAS–#WANEP roadmap, the initiative advances joint conflict analysis, information sharing, governance monitoring and preventive action. Both institutions reaffirmed their commitment to scaling collaboration, joint reporting and implementation to effectively address evolving governance, peace and security dynamics across West Africa.

[African Union @_AfricanUnion]

The operational instruments of the African Continental Free Trade Area are turning the Agreement into action.

Today, we focus on Rules of Origin the criteria that determine whether a product is genuinely made in Africa and eligible for #AfCFTA preferences. They help protect the free trade area, promote local manufacturing, and strengthen regional value chains.

In simple terms, they ensure African trade benefits African industries, jobs, and growth.

Stay tuned to learn more about the other operational instruments driving AfCFTA forward. #Agendaa2063

Not seeing my country Ethiopia on intra-African trade lists raises important questions about regional integration. Market size alone isn’t enough, trade corridors, competitiveness, and export structure matter. #AfCFTA @PMEthiopia @Zemedeneh

Ambassador Konjit Sinegiorgis carried Ethiopia’s voice with dignity across generations.

May her legacy endure. My condolences to her loved ones.

[El-Ghassim Wane @elghassimw]

Very saddened by the passing of Ambassador Konjit Sinegiorgis. She was a legend—not only within @MFAEthiopia, but also at the @_AfricanUnion.

I had the privilege of knowing her during my time at the #AU, where she represented #Ethiopia with distinction. In both the Peace and Security Council and the Permanent Representatives Committee, she was a voice of rigor, transparency, and unwavering commitment—people listened when she spoke.

I later worked with her again after her retirement, when she led the African Women Peace and Security Institute as Executive Director. As a board member, I saw firsthand her remarkable energy and dedication.

I also recall our long conversations about her extraordinary trajectory—impressive in every respect. Many will testify to her qualities. Her experience deserves to be widely shared; there is so much to learn from it.

My heartfelt condolences to her family, colleagues, and all who were inspired by her.
