[UN Secretary-General Reaffirms Cooperation with AU to Address Challenges] UN Secretary-General António Guterres reiterated on the 14th that the UN will continue to cooperate with the African Union (AU) to address the challenges facing Africa. The 39th AU Summit opened that day at the AU headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. At a press conference, Guterres said that the African continent is making progress, from promoting regional integration to increasing investment in clean energy and infrastructure. "This is not a miracle, but rather a result of stable and pragmatic efforts to address real problems in an unpredictable and volatile international environment," he said. Guterres stated that many parts of Africa, including Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Sahel, and the Horn of Africa, are facing profound and complex crises. "These conflicts involve multiple parties, multiple interests, and multiple factors." He said that African leaders and institutions are working to "silence the guns," and the international community should increase its support for efforts to achieve peace and security in Africa.
