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.

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.

📢 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.

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.

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.
Denmark in Ethiopia retweeted
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.”
Denmark in Ethiopia retweeted
#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.

Good exchange with the COP32 Secretariat @MFAEthiopia on Ethiopia’s #COP32 preparations. We discussed progress, priorities and opportunities for intl. cooperation, including strengthening engagement with partners and building capacity for a successful conference.

“We can now confidently return to the classroom and continue our education,” says Chaltu.
UNICEF, with support from @DanishMFA, is creating safe spaces in schools so girls like Chaltu can manage their periods with dignity and stay focused on learning.

On his first #WorldRefugeeDay as High Commissioner, @BarhamSalih is with refugees in Ethiopia, paying tribute to all people forced to flee.
Refugees shouldn’t spend decades in limbo. We must invest in solutions that help refugees & host communities build their futures together.

🇩🇰 Denmark’s Africa Strategy places youth at the centre of efforts to counter harmful information.
