The @_AfricanUnion, Member States, RECs & partners validated the Continental Strategy on Migration & Climate Change to strengthen governance & coordinated responses to climate-related human mobility.
With 7.8M disaster displacements in 2024 & 2.9M in 2025, action is urgent.
The @_AfricanUnion spoke & the world listened!
H.E @amma_twumamoah proposed a new partnership model in sync with the changing financing environment: African ownership.
Our measure of success will be based on the lives & future we transform NOT the amount of financing mobilised.
On this Int’l Day of the Girl Child, the @_AfricanUnion proposes a Three-Point Call to Action:
1️⃣Close the legal gaps;
2️⃣Finance national action & place social protection at its centre;
3️⃣Mobilise communities, traditional leaders & religious authorities as partners for change.
“A single child marriage is rarely a single violation. It is a cascade of lost rights and lost opportunities. And when this is repeated across millions of girls, the consequences extend far beyond the individual.”

STATEMENT OF THE AU COMMISSION ON THE ESCALATING TENSIONS BETWEEN ETHIOPIA, ERITREA AND EGYPT
The African Union Commission is closely following with concern the heightened tensions between Ethiopia, Eritrea and Egypt.
The Commission calls on all three Member States to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from actions or statements that could further escalate tensions and undermine regional peace and stability.
The Commission further underscores the importance of preserving channels of communication and urges the three countries to address their differences through established diplomatic channels and peaceful dialogue, in accordance with the principles of the Constitutive Act of the African Union.
The AU Commission stands ready, in consultation with the countries concerned, to support efforts towards de-escalation, dialogue and the peaceful resolution of differences.
