Today, we mourn the heavy loss of a true legend, Artist Elfnesh Keno.
She was far more than a gifted musician; she was a voice for the voiceless, a fearless human rights activist, and a loving mother to the struggle for equality, justice, and democracy for the Oromo people and all of Ethiopia. Her songs inspired generations, and her unwavering dedication to freedom will forever be remembered.
May her soul rest in eternal peace. My deepest condolences to her family, loved ones, and everyone grieving this profound loss across the country and beyond Her legacy will live on forever!

Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world at lightning speed. For the IGAD region, the real question is not only how quickly we adopt AI, but how we can deploy it for survival engineering—helping us confront drought, plan our economies, and strengthen health and food systems.
Today, I opened the Regional AI Framework and Strategy Stakeholder Consultation Workshop, bringing together experts from IGAD Member States, regional stakeholders and partners to shape a common regional direction.
Our collective action must protect digital sovereignty, use data responsibly and ensure AI reflects our languages, realities and priorities.

Honoured to join High Ethiopian government officials,health ministers, policymakers, healthcare leaders, investors and innovators at the 13th East Africa Healthcare Federation Conference and International Exhibition in Addis Ababa.
Today’s gathering reinforces a simple truth; health sovereignty underpins national sovereignty, economic resilience and shared prosperity. East Africa has the talent, innovation and ambition to build resilient health systems, create jobs, attract investment and strengthen local manufacturing.
It’s time to move from dependency to capacity, from aid to investment, and from importing solutions to building African solutions. From Adwa to this generation, Africa has shown it can determine its own destiny. Now, we must prove we can also secure our health.

The future of our region is inseparable from the future of Sudan.
Today in Khartoum, I met with H.E. Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, Chairman of the Sovereign Council of Sudan. Our discussions focused on the current situation in Sudan and the collective responsibility to advance a lasting, Sudanese-led peace.
As a strategic bridge between Africa and the Middle East, peace in Sudan is vital not only for regional stability but, above all, for the millions of Sudanese who continue to bear the greatest burden of this conflict.

IGAD will continue to support the people of Sudan in their pursuit of peace, stability, and recovery.
