Glad to welcome Ms Katharina Hübner
Country Director of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) for IGAD & Djibouti.
We took the opportunity to review the German Government partnership with IGAD portfolio which is implemented through GiZ, in Peace building, resilience, climate, Migeration, and economic development.
We will continue this dialogue to strengthen our partnership.
Pleasure to welcome to IGAD Headquarters, Hon. Kebede Abera, Deputy Head of Mission, Embassy of Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, in Djibouti. @ETEmbassyJIB
We discussed peace and security issues of the region. @IGADsecretariat will work with our Member States for the realization of a peaceful and prosperous region for our citizens.
Glad to launch a Consultative Meeting on the Establishment of the IGAD Regional Network of Election Management Bodies (EMBs), attended by election commissioners and electoral bodies from IGAD Member States, in Djibouti.
The proposed Regional Network will provide a permanent and structured platform for collaboration among Election Management Bodies of IGAD Member States, as a mechanism through which they can exchange knowledge and experiences, strengthen professional capacities, share innovations and best practices..
Strong and credible electoral governance mechanisms contribute directly to conflict prevention, political stability, citizen participation, and democratic resilience. @IGADsecretariat will work with our Member States in the strengthening of such mechanisms.

On the occasion of Uganda’s 64th Independence Day, I extend my warm congratulations to H.E. President @KagutaMuseveni, the Government and the people of Uganda. 🇺🇬
As a founding member of IGAD, Uganda plays an important role in advancing regional peace, stability and integration.
I commend Uganda’s continued commitment to our shared regional aspirations and reaffirm IGAD’s dedication to strengthening our cooperation towards a peaceful, integrated and prosperous region.
Happy Independence Day, Uganda!
I congratulate the appointment by HE @AbiyAhmedAli’s victorious Party of two ethnic Somalis to two key positions: HE Ahmed Shide as Speaker of Ethiopia’s House of Representatives (the first ethnic Somali in that lofty position) and HE Adem Farah, with a rank of Deputy Prime Minister.
The advancement of leaders from border communities in the political system, not only addresses historic marginalization, but lays a solid foundation for Regional trade and integration: a key mandate of IGAD. Congratulations!!
For Somalis and Somalia to survive in the challenging current geopolitical environment, two things are important, nay, existential:
1.Work on internal cohesion, resolve your differences in the time-tested traditional way, and do not export your grievances overseas.
2.Avoid entanglements in proxy conflicts that have very little to do with us. Improve your relations with our neighbors (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda), and we should be ok.
Congratulations to HE @AbiyAhmedAli for the reelection as Prime Minister.
Ethiopia, a founding member of IGAD, is a pillar of the Peace and Security of the Region. The @IGADsecretariat will work with the government and people of Ethiopia for a prosperous, stable, and democratic Ethiopia under the leadership of HE @AbiyAhmedAli .

As the 81st United Nations General Assembly begins, international cooperation faces a decisive test.
Conflict, climate shocks and economic uncertainty transcend borders; our response must do the same.
I joined world leaders at today’s opening session in New York, reaffirming IGAD’s commitment to partnerships that translate multilateralism into peace, resilience and shared prosperity for our people.
