Egypt Highlights Path to Sustainable Peace in Africa at Oslo Forum
Taarek Refaat
Egypt's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration Badr Abdel Ati participated on Wednesday in a high-level session on achieving peace in Africa, held as part of the annual Oslo Forum, a key platform for international dialogue on conflict mediation and peacebuilding.
During the session, Abdel Ati underscored Egypt's central role in promoting security and stability across the African continent, reaffirming Cairo's long-standing commitment to supporting the African Union (AU) as the principal framework for advancing peace and development in African states.
Addressing an audience of diplomats, mediators, and policymakers, the minister discussed the complex, interlinked challenges facing Africa — including conflict, poverty, and underdevelopment. He emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach that incorporates social, economic, and developmental strategies to build lasting peace.
'African solutions must be holistic,' he said, 'integrating the economic drivers of conflict with long-term development planning, and grounded in the realities of each country.'
Abdel Ati also highlighted the continent's significant potential, citing its dynamic youth population and expansive investment opportunities, particularly in infrastructure. He called for greater international cooperation to harness these assets in ways that promote sustainable growth and integration across African nations.
In his concluding remarks, the minister stressed that while short-term interventions are important, Africa requires a long-term vision rooted in African leadership, equitable global partnerships, and development strategies that align with the continent's unique needs and aspirations.

US Dollar Falls to Lowest Level Since April 2022
H-Tayea The US dollar fell sharply on Thursday, with the Dollar Index declining by 0.6% to 97.86 points, its lowest level since April 2022. The drop signals mounting pressure on the American currency amid escalating geopolitical tensions and growing global trade concerns, according to Al Arabiya. The decline occurred during a broad market retreat from risk assets, with the dollar hitting its lowest point so far in 2025, alongside a downturn in major US stock indices from recent record highs. Investors, unsettled by rising instability in the Middle East and renewed uncertainty in U.S.-China trade relations, shifted their capital toward safe-haven assets such as gold and government bonds. The dollar's slide deepened following remarks by US President Donald Trump, who told reporters he plans to send notices to trade partners outlining new tariff rates within the next two weeks. This comes as the 90-day temporary pause on reciprocal tariffs nears its expiration next month. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
