Djibouti’s Foreign Minister, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, has expressed deep concern over the deteriorating security situation in several African nations.
In an interview with AFP, he highlighted the increasing instability in the Sahel region, particularly in Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso, where recent coups have exacerbated existing challenges.
Youssouf emphasized the urgent need to prioritize peace and security as a foundation for Africa’s development.
He stressed that the African Union must address these issues to ensure the continent’s progress and prosperity.
The Foreign Minister also discussed Africa’s growing influence on the global stage, particularly its recent inclusion in the G20.
He expressed optimism about Africa’s potential to become a major player in international affairs.
As a candidate for the position of African Union Commission Chairperson, Youssouf is well-positioned to address the continent’s pressing challenges.
His experience and expertise in diplomacy and international relations make him a strong contender for the top job.
