Jabuti,Djabuti-It seems there’s been some tension between Djibouti and Kenya regarding the outcome of the African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson election. President William Ruto’s comments about the loss of his preferred candidate, Raila Odinga, have sparked a reaction from Djibouti, especially after Mahmoud Ali Youssouf was announced as the winner.
Ambassador Moussa Mohamed Omar’s response emphasizes that the 33 Heads of State who voted for Youssouf did so because they believed he was the right choice for Africa’s challenges, and they resisted any influence from Kenya’s internal politics.
Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, while acknowledging the reactions, seems to be extending an olive branch, expressing his willingness to collaborate with Ruto despite the differences. This exchange highlights the complex dynamics of continental politics and the balancing of national interests with broader regional goals within the African Union
