Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, chairperson of the African Union Commission, said the ceasefire between the United States, Israel and Iran presents a critical opportunity to ease the suffering of populations affected directly and indirectly by the war.
Youssouf said the agreement reflects commendable leadership and a shared commitment to the de-escalation that the union has consistently called for.
He added that diplomacy guided by the United Nations Charter remains the only viable path to resolving international crises.
