Africa Day Marked in Grand Style with Renewed Calls for Unity

Across our region, many women are transforming the lives of their families through small businesses that support livelihoods and strengthen communities.
Today in Djibouti, I handed over outdoor market umbrellas to Women Initiative Djibouti to support local women in growing their daily economic activities. Together with recent capacity-building trainings, this reflects our continued commitment to women’s economic empowerment across the region.

The media is not a spectator to Africa’s transformation, it is a driving force. As digital innovation and AI reshape the landscape, they expand access to information while also risking the spread of content that erodes trust.
Today, at the Annual Pan-African Media Summit 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya I called on the media to shape narratives that reflect our realities and define our future, as a guardian of truth and a force shaping society.
At IGAD, we remain committed to advocating media sustainability and safeguarding editorial integrity across our Member States and beyond.

The #IGAD Mediation Reflection Conference in Nairobi has successfully concluded, with a strong call to sustain dialogue beyond the two-day engagement.

Bringing together seasoned mediators, experts, and researchers from the IGAD region, across Africa, and globally, the conference took place at a critical time, when conflicts continue to carry profound human, economic, and security costs.

Participants emphasized that the true measure of effective mediation lies not in rhetoric, but in tangible outcomes: wars prevented, tensions eased, and meaningful pathways to peace created.

IGAD’s Executive Secretary, H.E @DrWorkneh underscored mediation as the most viable pathway to bringing parties to the table, fostering dialogue, and laying the groundwork for sustainable political solutions.
