African Union Mission to the UN

H.E. Ambassador Mohamed Edrees the Permanent Representative of the #AU, received today members of the UN African Ambassador’s Spouses Group at the AU Mission, sharing information on the African Group’s interests and endeavors in the #UN.
The meeting inaugurated the #AUMissionUN new initiative "Voices for Africa: Books and Diplomacy" at Mandela Hall alongside UNAASG.
It was a privilege to welcome global humanitarian leader and author @YasmineSherif for a profound plenary dialogue on her award-winning memoir and manifesto, “Unleash Your Humanity”. Her lifelong dedication on the frontlines of crisis reminds us that empathy, compassion, and moral courage are our most essential tools for navigating today's global challenges and championing literature that recalls and reflects Africa’s history, resolve and rich contributions to humanity.
Thank you to our partners at UNAASG, and everyone who joined for an inspiring event.

“We reaffirm our support for South Sudan’s sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity, and our solidarity with its Government and people. The transition faces a test of political trust. An election should give citizens confidence in their future, not new reasons to fear it.
We welcome the Government’s engagement with the AU, IGAD and regional partners, and support African-led efforts by High Representative Jakaya Kikwete, the AU Peace and Security Council and the C5. The 29 September C5 Plus declaration offers a platform for engagement with groups outside the dialogue, including the mainstream SPLM/A-IO and non-signatories, to build electoral consensus.”

“The A3 reaffirms its full support to UNISFA and commends the troop- and police-contributing countries, Special Envoy Guang Cong, Acting Head of Mission and Force Commander Lieutenant General Ganesh Kumar Shrestha, and all Mission personnel for their steadfast commitment to peace and civilian protection under taxing circumstances. While UNISFA remains an indispensable pillar of local stability, it cannot substitute for the political will and bilateral cooperation required of the parties to resolve Abyei’s final status .”
