Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Head of the African Union Mission in Somalia, Mohamed El-Amine Souef, underscored the importance of Ethiopia\u2019s involvement in the African Union Peace and Security Council.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia has been elected as a member of the African Union Peace and Security Council at the 46th Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the African Union held in Addis Ababa last week.<\/p>\n

The election recognizes Ethiopia’s contributions to peace, security and development across the African continent.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ENA, Souef stressed that Ethiopia\u2019s membership is crucial not only for regional peace but also for the stability of the entire continent. \u201cI think it is something very important for all of us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that Ethiopia has played a significant role in various UN peacekeeping missions and worked diligently during the Darfur conflict.<\/p>\n

Today, Ethiopia is one of the biggest contingents in AMISOM, ATIMS and probably AUSSOM he said, adding \u201cI think it is something very important, because they (Ethiopian) know the field, they understand the threats to peace and stability.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Horn of Africa, a region facing numerous challenges, holds significant global strategic relevance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is crucial for Ethiopia to be there, and if they can link up and consult with other African countries in the Horn of Africa, because this is a highly strategic maritime route.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Horn of Africa is not stable, the entire world will be affected,\u201d Souef said, noting the maritime from Europe to China and Australia passes through the Red Sea and down to the Horn of Africa.<\/p>\n

Hence, he stated if Ethiopia has this responsibility here, and this will be something very interesting for us, as it is a key player in the region.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia has experience working with all African countries, and most of the African countries are represented here in Ethiopia through their diplomatic missions in Addis Ababa.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this will make it easier for Ethiopia to do so,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
