🇪🇺🍿 Save the date👇 EU Film Festival in Addis Ababa is back!

Cooperation between the UN and the AU is important to address the challenges that the continent is facing. From combatting terrorism to ending armed conflict, ensuring inclusive peace mediation and protection of civilians, joint UN and AU action is needed.

The pleasure is all mine, Commissioner @Bankole_Adeoye 🤝 great to exchange views on current affairs and discuss next steps in our strategic partnership. 🇩🇰 is a longstanding partner of @AUC_PAPS - and we’re proud to be the biggest bilateral partner within the JFA 🕊️

Statement by the Danish Foreign Minister on developments in Northern Ethiopia

FM @larsloekke “Denmark is deeply concerned by developments in North #Ethiopia. We call for de-escalation, humanitarian access and dialogue. We call on neighbouring countries to refrain from further escalation. The Pretoria Agreement and AU-led mediation remain the path to peace”

The conflict escalation in Yemen is worsening an already dire humanitarian situation, and civilians are now fleeing to East Africa. Denmark provides DKK 25.7 mil. through UNHCR and the UN Central Emergency Response Fund to address the refugee crisis in the region.

We are moving! 📍From next week, you can find us in Bole Rwanda, next to Grand View Apartments: Bole Sub City, Woreda-02, house no. NEW.

📢 From Commitment to Delivery: Advancing Women, Peace and Security through Collective Action The @_AfricanUnion, through the Office of the Special Envoy on Women, Peace and Security (@AUC_OSEWPS), has launched its Strategic Plan 2026–2028 today at the AU HQ, #AddisAbaba, 🇪🇹, setting a new framework for advancing women’s meaningful participation in peace and security across Africa. The Plan seeks to bridge the persistent “conversion gap” between commitments and action, positioning OSE-WPS as a convener, coordinator and catalyst for continental action. #WPS @_AfricanUnion @AUC_OSEWPS @AU_WGYD @FemWiseAfrica @UNOAU_ @unwomenAU @FCDOGovUK @UNITAR @NorwayAU @Denmark_Addis @IrlEmbEthiopia @JapanMissionAU

DK voted in favour of a short technical rollover of the 1591 Sudan sanctions regime, while negotiations continue among Council members. The regime must be strengthened to protect civilians, ensure hum. access, curb arms flows & promote accountability for violations of int. law.

Members of the Coalition for Atrocity Prevention and Justice in Sudan condemn the attack on a @WFP_Sudan humanitarian convoy in Sudan. These targeted strikes prevent civilians from accessing life-saving aid and directly contribute to civilian harm. #IHL must be respected by all

Denmark welcomes the progress made by the @AUPeaceFund BoT, including on the new 🇩🇰 supported ODA-eligible financial window. Denmark remains committed to supporting AU-led solutions in peace and security. #agenda2063

Today 🇩🇰 hosted a #UNSC open debate on resolution 2417 on conflict & hunger. In 2018, 74M people faced crisis food insecurity. Today it's 147M. Food is under fire: crops burned, markets attacked, aid denied. Res 2417 gives us the tools to act. Now we need to use them.

FM @larsloekke: “Far too many people face hunger driven by conflict. Not drought, not disaster - but conflict. In 2026, famine is not a failure of harvests. It's a failure of politics. Today Denmark brings the UNSC together to call for action & end starvation as a weapon of war.”

#Sudan cannot become a war the world learns to live with. At today’s #UNSC briefing, Minister @larsloekke called on parties to put protection of civilians first. An urgent ceasefire and an inclusive political process are essential. We must act to end suffering.
