Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – SONNA: The Executive Secretary of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), H.E. Dr. Workneh Gebeyehu, has extended his heartfelt congratulations to H.E. Mahamoud Ali Youssouf of the Republic of Djibouti on his election as the Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC) for the 2025–2029 term.

The election, which took place during the 38th AU Summit of Heads of State and Government, marks a pivotal moment for the continent as a Member State candidate assumes leadership of the AU Commission. H.E. Mahamoud Ali Youssouf’s appointment is seen as a significant step in advancing Africa’s collective development agenda.

In his congratulatory message, H.E. Dr. Workneh emphasized the importance of this leadership transition, stating, “H.E. Mahamoud Ali Youssouf’s election is a resounding affirmation of the trust and confidence placed in him by African Heads of State and Government. His leadership comes at a crucial time for our continent, as we work together to advance ‘The Africa We Want.’ I look forward to collaborating closely with H.E. Mahamoud Ali Youssouf to strengthen regional stability and accelerate Africa’s integration agenda.”

H.E. Dr. Workneh also reaffirmed IGAD’s commitment to working closely with the African Union under H.E. Mahamoud Ali Youssouf’s leadership to promote peace, stability, and prosperity across the region and the continent. As the Chair of the Inter-Regional Economic Communities (RECs) Coordination Platform, he assured the newly elected AUC Chairperson of his unwavering dedication to enhancing collaboration between the AU and the RECs. This partnership aims to ensure harmonized and coordinated efforts in addressing Africa’s challenges and opportunities.

In a tweet following the announcement, H.E. Dr. Workneh wrote, “Congratulations my brother H.E. Mahamoud Ali Youssouf upon your election as the African Union Chair during the 38th AU Summit of Heads of State and Government! This is a resounding affirmation of the trust and confidence placed in you by African Heads of State and Government. Your leadership comes at a crucial time for our continent as we navigate challenges in peace, security, and continental integration. I look forward to working closely with you to strengthen regional stability and accelerate Africa’s integration agenda.”

The election of H.E. Mahamoud Ali Youssouf is widely regarded as a recognition to his diplomatic acumen and dedication to Africa’s development. As the continent faces pressing challenges in peace, security, and integration, his leadership is expected to play an important role in steering the AU towards achieving its goals and aspirations.
