Statement of H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat Chairperson of the African Union Commission Peace Ceremony by the Government Of The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia
So please allow me, at the outset, to thank you for organizing this important event and for inviting the African Union to participate. It is a real honour to be among you today. Let me thank you most sincerely for the confidence you showed in the African Union, and in so doing, your deep conviction to the principle of finding homegrown African solutions to African problems.
But today my job, is very simple. Because the job is almost done! And it is to sincerely commend the strong LEADERSHIP and the COURAGE shown by the Federal Government, under the able leadership of Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed, and his brothers from Tigray Region, for their common decision to silence the guns in favour of peace and national reconciliation.
I also wish to commend the regional body IGAD, the United Nations and the government of the United States of America, for their active support as Observors to this Process. The African Development Bank was also a key partner, thank you. I was personally a witness to this strong will and determination of the Parties as they negotiated a truly Ethiopian-owned process. The courage, wisdom and frankness they displayed during the talks was something I will not forget.
