🇪🇬 At the 5th @AswanForum for Sustainable Peace & Development, the African Union Youth Ambassadors for Peace (AYAPs) joined the Youth Dialogue on “A Decade of the YPS Agenda: African-led Solutions from Policy to Action” on 20 Oct 2025. 1/5 #AswanForum #YouthPeaceSecurity

On the margins of #AswanForumV, #CCCPA held its first bilateral meeting with Amb. Lt. Gen. (Rtd.) Frank Mushyo Kamanzi, Exec. Sec. of #ISCA, exploring collaboration on dialogue, convening & policymaking to amplify regional voices in advancing peace and security in Africa.

I had the privilege of meeting H.E. Seif Kandil, Director General of the Cairo International Center for Conflict Resolution, Peacekeeping, and Peacebuilding (@CairoPeaceKeep ), on the sidelines of the @AswanForum. We discussed enhancing collaboration to strengthen the governance-development-peace nexus through @APRMorg reviews and continental initiatives for implementing governance reform recommendations.

At the @AswanForum, on the panel: “Navigating the Crossroads: Restoring Trust in the Rules-Based International Order," I raised the concern of the “disorderly” global order, with the UN Charter being flouted brazenly. True trust requires a bold reform for an inclusive, democratic, legitimate and effective UNSC. The status quo is not an option.

As @AswanForum Panelist on the theme: An Algorithm for Peace: The Dual Power of AI in Africa's Security & Development, I underscored the game-changing powerful tool in #AI for prevention, prediction and protection on governance, peace and security. The foundational gaps like electricity & connectivity are risks to be addressed to ensure inclusive frontline role for African youth and empowerment.

Day 2 of #AswanForumV kept the momentum strong! Discussions focused on climate-food-water security, regional integration, transnational threats, public health, Nubian heritage and empowering youth & women. #PeaceProgressProsperity #AfricanSolutions #AfricaInMotion

On the margins of the 5th #AswanForum, CCCPA & APRM signed an #MoU to strengthen cooperation on Post-Conflict Reconstruction & Development (#PCRD) and #Governance, and other related areas, reaffirming our shared commitment to promoting sustainable peace in Africa.

Following #AswanForum, @ahunnaeziakonwa @UNDPAfrica & RR @chitose_noguchi @UNDPEgypt met w H.E. Amb. Ihab Awad Assistant FM African Affairs & Amb. Seif Kandeel, DG @CairoPeaceKeep to strengthen UNDP–CCCPA partnership & advance #peace, #resilience & #stability across #Africa.
