What does it take to build sustainable peace in Africa? Women’s leadership must be part of the answer.
This Women, Peace and Security Week, H.E. @SigneGuro, Deputy Permanent Representative of Norway to the African Union, reminds us that we must go beyond recognising women’s contributions to actively supporting their leadership, participation and role in shaping solutions to conflict.

بيان صادر عن الأمين العام بشأن الهجوم على الرياض
ترجمة غير رسمية
أشعر بصدمة عميقة وأدين بشدة الهجوم الدامي الذي شنّه الحوثيون يوم السبت على مطار الملك خالد الدولي في الرياض بالمملكة العربية السعودية، والذي أسفر، بحسب التقارير، عن مقتل 12 شخصاً وإصابة مئات المدنيين.
إن الهجمات على المدنيين والبنية التحتية المدنية تشكّل انتهاكاً للقانون الدولي. ويجب أن تتوقف هذه الهجمات فوراً.
نيويورك، 10 تشرين الأول/أكتوبر 2026
I am deeply shocked by & strongly condemn Saturday’s lethal attack by the Houthis on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which reportedly killed 12 people & injured hundreds of civilians.
Attacks on civilians & civilian infrastructure are a violation of international law. These attacks must cease immediately.
Happy to participate at the launch of AUs OSE- WPS Strategic Plan - inspiration for all interested in WPS from commitment to delivery
Congratulations to @AUC_OSEWPS The OSE-WPS Strategic Plan 2026–2028. A strategic shift from advocacy to institutional change: strengthening coordination, accountability, partnerships and predictable resources to translate Africa’s WPS commitments into measurable delivery.

⚖️ Nine years after the genocide against the #Rohingya, the @CIJ_ICJ is approaching a historic judgment in The Gambia v. #Myanmar case. The international community cannot afford to wait for the ruling before deciding how to respond.

78% of Myanmar women outside the workforce say caregiving is the main activity taking up their time. As conflict and displacement reshape daily life, the growing care load is falling hardest on women in the most unstable areas.

I condemn the massive Israeli attacks in Lebanon, which have caused immense suffering and destruction.
Israel has a duty to protect civilians & civilian infrastructure. I strongly urge the parties to de-escalate and to respect the ceasefire. regjeringen.no/en/whats-new/…

When power trumps principle, both small states and great powers suffer.
Borderless challenges can only be contained through binding cooperation.
