The Chairperson of the African Union Commission welcomes the signing of the "Document of Principles: Roadmap* *for Ending the Transitional Period” in #Libya.

H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, Chairperson of the African Union Commission, warmly welcomes the landmark signing of the "Document of Principles: Roadmap for Ending the Transitional Period " concluded on June 16, 2026, by the leadership of Libya’s three primary political bodies: the House of Representatives, the Presidential Council, and the High Council of State.

The AUC Chairperson @ymahmoudali highly commends the statesmanship, mutual compromise, and constructive commitment demonstrated by their Excellencies Honourable Aguila Saleh, Dr. Mohamed Al-Menfi, and Dr. Mohamed Takala. Their joint decision to bridge institutional divisions underscores a shared determination to prioritize the national security, financial stability, and territorial integrity of the Libyan state above all other consideration.

He views this tripartite roadmap as a major breakthrough toward resolving the prolonged political transition in Libya. The Chairperson notes with great satisfaction that the agreement successfully capitalizes on the positive momentum established earlier this year through the adoption of an agreement to unify the national budget and the formal endorsement of the National Reconciliation Charter facilitated by the African Union.

In this regard, the Chairperson of the Commission renews the constant and unwavering support of the African Union to the authorities, while urging stakeholders to engage fully and in good faith in the implementation of this roadmap aimed at bringing an end to the current political situation in Libya, with a view to fulfilling the legitimate aspirations of the Libyan people for a stable, prosperous, and democratic State.

The initiative underscores the importance of harnessing ocean knowledge to address climate change, enhance economic opportunities, protect marine ecosystems and improve the well-being of coastal communities. Africa’s ocean future must be shaped by African priorities, African institutions and African leadership.

At today’s Ministerial Follow-up Committee on the Implementation of #Agenda2063 , the Chairperson of the African Union (AU) Commission, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, @ymahmoudali underscored that Africa’s Agenda 2063 “Decade of Acceleration” will be judged not by the quality of its plans, but by the delivery of tangible transformation.

Speaking on the first Biennial Progress Report of the Second Ten-Year Implementation Plan (2024–2033), he noted that Africa’s continental performance currently stands at 53%.

Saying that while progress is visible, he cautioned that it is not yet occurring at the speed & scale required to meet the ambitions of #Agenda2063.

He highlighted encouraging gains in governance reforms & citizen empowerment, while warning that progress remains uneven across several flagship “moonshots”.
The Chairperson outlined three urgent priorities to accelerate implementation:

✅Regional integration must be fast-tracked, building on progress under the AfCFTA, air transport liberalisation, energy market integration, & digital transformation, while addressing persistent gaps in infrastructure, connectivity, & protocol implementation.

✅Peace and security remain indispensable prerequisites for development, investment, & trade across the continent.

✅Financing for development must be urgently reformed through stronger domestic resource mobilisation, fair & effective taxation, enhanced public financial management, decisive action against illicit financial flows, & the deployment of innovative financing instruments.

He further called for stronger alignment between planning, budgeting, & execution; deeper integration of Agenda 2063 into national development frameworks; & the reinforcement of accountability systems to ensure delivery.

The Chairperson also expressed his sincere gratitude to the President of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, H.E. @AOuattara_PRCI, in his capacity as the AU Champion for Agenda 2063, for his continued leadership & commitment to advancing Africa’s long-term transformation agenda.

I'm concluding, Mr. Youssouf stated: “Let this be the decade where Africa moves decisively from aspiration to realisation.”
