I warmly congratulate Mr. Adou Mohamed Ali, a diplomat of #Djibouti, on his election to the @UN Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions for the 2027–2029 term.
#ACABQ is the General Assembly’s expert body on administrative and budgetary matters, reviewing UN spending proposals and advising Member States ahead of budgetary decisions.
Cher Houssein,
Définition: ''un communiqué de presse conjoint est une déclaration officielle rédigée et publiée d'un commun accord par deux ou plusieurs parties pour exprimer une position partagée et validée par l'ensemble des acteurs concernés''.
Pour synthétiser la situation sous forme d'équation diplomatique simple:
Communiqué conjoint = 0 communiqué unilatéral
Communiqué unilatéral = 0 communiqué conjoint
Lorsqu'un partenariat produit un document commun validé par les deux institutions, diffuser ce communiqué conjoint évite justement la cacophonie ou la surenchère unilatérale.
Shame on who now?
Shame on you!
Ce ministère des Affaires étrangères de Djibouti incarne l’incurie, l’inertie, la sinécure et la léthargie dans toute leur splendeur.
Le 4 novembre 2026, le Comité politique et de sécurité (COPS) de l’Union #européenne a effectué une visite à Djibouti et a eu des échanges avec les représentants du ministère des Affaires étrangères ainsi que du ministère de l’Intérieur.
À la suite de cette #rencontre, l’Union européenne a publié un communiqué de presse conjoint sur ses plateformes officielles.
De son côté, le ministère djiboutien des Affaires étrangères s’est contenté de reprendre cette information sur son compte X, sans publier de communiqué de presse #spécifique et détaillé sur son propre site internet.
Pourquoi le #ministère ne prend-il pas l’initiative de produire ses propres communiqués de presse afin de présenter clairement la position de Djibouti, ses priorités diplomatiques et les résultats de ses échanges avec ses partenaires internationaux ?
Pourquoi son site #officiel ne présente-t-il pas régulièrement les actualités relatives aux rencontres diplomatiques #importantes ?
#Diplomatique ne consiste pas simplement à reprendre ou à partager les publications d’autres institutions. Elle doit également permettre à un pays de #porter sa propre voix, de valoriser ses initiatives diplomatiques et de faire connaître ses intérêts sur la scène internationale.
À mon sens, le #ministère doit renouveler ses méthodes de travail et donner davantage de place aux nouvelles compétences, à la créativité et à l'esprit d'initiative.
Si l'organisation actuelle ne parvient pas à répondre à ces exigences, il serait nécessaire d'ouvrir la voie à de nouvelles compétences et à de nouveaux #talents.

It was a distinct privilege and honor to meet with the Deputy General Director of National Intelligence of the Republic of the Sudan in Khartoum within the EASF framework and exchange perspectives on the current security and intelligence situation in Sudan. The briefing provided valuable insights into the complex security threats affecting the country, the destruction and instability associated with the activities of the RSF militia, and the implications of the ongoing conflict for national and regional security. I greatly appreciated the constructive exchange, which highlighted the importance of intelligence cooperation, timely information sharing, and strengthened regional partnerships in supporting peace, stability, and security across Eastern Africa Region.

It was a profound honor to meet with the Chief of Defense Staff of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in Khartoum within the EASF framework and engage in constructive discussions on the prevailing security and operational situation in the Republic of the Sudan. The detailed briefing provided important perspectives on the challenges faced by the SAF, the destruction of vital infrastructure, and the suffering experienced by civilian populations as a result of the conflict and the actions of the RSF militia. This engagement underscored the importance of professional military dialogue, regional security coordination, and sustained cooperation in addressing threats to peace and stability in Sudan and the wider Eastern African region.

It was a distinct honor to meet with the MoFA of the Republic of the Sudan within the EASF framework and engage in meaningful discussions on the evolving political, diplomatic, and security situation in Sudan. I was particularly grateful for the comprehensive briefing on the devastating consequences of the conflict, including the destruction of critical infrastructure, the displacement of civilian populations, and the humanitarian crisis attributed to the actions of the RSF militia. The exchange highlighted the importance of regional cooperation, diplomatic engagement, and coordinated African efforts to support Sudan’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the restoration of lasting peace and stability.

It was a great honor and privilege to meet with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Sudan within the framework of the EASF. Our discussions provided a valuable opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the current situation in Sudan, particularly the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict and the widespread destruction, displacement, and humanitarian suffering caused by the RSF militia.
I sincerely appreciated the Prime Minister’s insightful briefing, his perspectives on the challenges facing the country, and his commitment to restoring peace, stability, national unity, and security in Sudan.

Good old Rashid Abdi, still recycling the same tired zero-sum narrative: if Djibouti befriends one partner, it must be abandoning another or might be threatening another.
Sorry to deceive you, #Djibouti remains a loyal, dependable and reliable partner to each and every one, and of course exclusive to none.
And more importantly, Djibouti remains sovereign in shaping its future.
Hellooooo Rashid! catch up!
The world has moved on.
China's military base in Djibouti has been upgraded and transformed into a massive signals intelligence intercept (SIGINT) hub.
The base is now able to intercept and geolocate a wide array of signals of strategic military intelligence value.
This transformation of Djibouti into a crucial Chinese intelligence-gathering node, in part, explains why Western states with military footprints are getting uncomfortable, scouting and moving to other nearby locations.
US military pivot to Somaliland, Puntland and Kenya's Lamu partly linked to this, while the French have significantly reduced their military footprint in the tiny Red Sea state.

The deepening of bilateral relations between NBO and Dj is of paramount importance to advancing regional connectivity, trade, investment, and people-to-people ties across the Horn of Africa. In this spirit, the commitment to finalize a new Bilateral Air Services Agreement is particularly encouraging and, we hope, will create the necessary framework for KQ to resume direct flights to Djibouti.
Paid a courtesy call on Amb. Mohamed Ali Hassan (@MohamedAliHass1) Secretary General for Foreign Affairs of Djibouti. Kenya and Djibouti share a strong commitment to anchoring peace, maritime stability, and multilateral cooperation through IGAD to fill critical gaps in regional development. Our discussions highlighted the strategic imperative of enhancing regional connectivity, digital infrastructure, and trade corridors to drive sustainable economic growth across the Horn of Africa.
Together, Kenya and Djibouti continue to deepen multilateral alignment, foster African Union institutional reform, and create enduring synergies for our people. We agreed to accelerate political consultations on a range of issues and finalize negotiation on a new bilateral air service agreement between Kenya and Djibouti. @ForeignOfficeKE

Congratulations to the delegation of #Togo 🇹🇬 and the Africa Group on the adoption this morning by the #UNGA of resolution A/80/L.104, “Correct the Map.”
First endorsed by the African Union Assembly in February and officially passed at the United Nations today, this @_AfricanUnion initiative marks a historic step toward accurate and equitable global cartographic representation.
For centuries, the Mercator projection distorted global geography, shrinking Africa to the size of Greenland when our continent is actually 14 times larger. Today’s resolution promotes equal-area maps like Equal Earth across classrooms, media, and international institutions ensuring the world map finally reflects Africa’s true scale, weight, and place in the world.
