Veteran diplomat Ambassador Konjit Sinegiorgis, who had been receiving medical treatment, has passed away. Ambassador Konjit joined the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs at a young age in the 1950s and went on to build a long and distinguished career spanning several decades. Throughout her service, she assumed major responsibilities across a wide range of diplomatic roles, making significant contributions to Ethiopia’s foreign service. Widely recognized as Ethiopia’s second female Ambassador, following Yodit Imru, Ambassador Konjit served as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in Ethiopia’s diplomatic missions in Ottawa, Cairo, Tel Aviv, and Vienna during her career. In addition to her bilateral assignments, she represented Ethiopia in key multilateral institutions. Notably, she served as Permanent Representative to the African Union and to the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). From June 2017 to September 2018, Ambassador Konjit also served as a Special Advisor in the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)-led South Sudan peace process, where she contributed her extensive diplomatic experience to advancing regional peace efforts. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses its deep sorrow at the passing of Ambassador Konjit and extends its heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues.
