Young people across the world may come from different communities, experiences and realities, but many share the same aspirations: to live in peace, have their voices heard and help shape a future that works for everyone.
On #InternationalYouthDay, we recognise young people not only as leaders of tomorrow, but as partners in building peace today. Their ideas, perspectives and participation are essential to creating more inclusive, peaceful and resilient societies.
Let’s create more spaces where young people can participate, lead and turn their aspirations into action.
Happy International Youth Day!
Zambia General elections have officially kicked off. The AU-COMESA EOM deployed across the 10 provinces of the country are currently observing the opening and unfolding of the elections
#zambiavotes @znbctoday
The engagement provided an opportunity to share & compare pre-election observations, exchange perspectives, & identify areas for cooperation ahead of polling day. One message stood out clearly: elections are about people, & peaceful participation is everyone’s responsibility.
With Zambia’s 13 August 2026 General Elections just around the corner, the leadership of the AU–COMESA EOM met with Heads of Election Observation Missions from the Electoral Commissions Forum (ECF), SADC, ICGLR, the European Union and the United Nations Resident Coordinator.
