Thank you for the invitation to brief the Security Council on my recent joint mission with the African Union to Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritrea and Somalia.
This is the fourth visit I have undertaken focused on women, peace and security and development, and the third joint solidarity’s mission with the African Union. I am pleased that Ambassador Fatima Kyari Mohammed is here to brief alongside me.
At the request of the Prime Minister, I also travelled with senior United Nations officials to Sudan, to focus on support for the transition, the African Union‑United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) and women’s leadership.
