Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed’s Statement at the 36th Assembly of African Union (quote #1/3)
☝🏾 Our continent is not only well able to feed itself, but can become a bread basket of the world.
🔺 In Ethiopia, we have been working diligently to enhance agricultural productivity in the past four years. We have commenced an initiative that encourages small-holder farmers to farm in clusters that enable them to benefit from irrigation and mechanization.
🔺 Ethiopia is undertaking a massive campaign to encourage both large- and small-scale poultry, dairy, livestock farming, as well as urban agriculture.
🟡 I call upon our African Union and development partners to support in unleashing this potential.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed’s Statement at the 36th Assembly of African Union (quote #2/3)
🤨 Global meetings on climate change are rich with the rhetoric of climate justice, the just transition, common but differentiated responsibilities of parties.
🔺These talks, however, are hardly ever backed up with action. And Africa cannot wait.
🇪🇹 Ethiopia is definitely not waiting for solutions to come from outside. Instead, we are doing all we can to contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
☝🏾 For my country, investment in environmental protection is not a charity; it is driven by enlightened self-interest. For us in Ethiopia, environmental protection is about everything we are as a society. It is about our ability to feed ourselves. It is about our ability to conserve water and other precious resources. It is about our ability to preserve peace between adjoining communities. It is about our survival as a nation.

🌍 African countries are engaged in environmental conservation, reforestation and massive investment in the generation of clean energy from hydro sources. In short, Africa is leading the world in areas that matter for all humanity and it is time for Africa's leadership role to be recognized and institutionalized.
☝🏾 I would like to use this opportunity to lend my voice yet again for Africa to be represented on the UN Security Council with at least one permanent seat and double non-permanent seats. Moreover, Africa also needs to have proportionate representation at the G7, the G20 and similar global forums.
