AU Commission chairperson election delayed for Senegalese diplomat
DAKAR – Senegalese diplomat Professor Abdoulaye Bathily has revealed that the president of his country, Macky Sall, intervened on his behalf to delay the election of a new chair for the AU Commission so that he could participate
Speaking at the launch in Dakar, Bathily said: “My candidacy is the culmination of an entire academic, political and diplomatic life at the service of pan-Africanism”.
Among the guests were various personalities from all parts of Africa. They included top-level political figures, academics and civil society members in Africa and Senegal.
Franco-Egyptian economist, Professor Samir Amin; Dr Patricia McFadden of South Africa; Cape Verde’s former minister of foreign afairs Dr Jose Brito; Dr Hesphina Rukato, a Pan African activist from Zimbabwe; Dr Conmany Wesseh, Liberian senator; Marie-Madeleine Kalala of the Democratic Republic of Congo; Dr Agostino Zacarias, Accord, South Africa; and Patricia McFadden of the Thabo Mbeki Institute for African leadership were among the guests.

Throwing his weight behind Bathily, Amin said: “The task of the African Union is difficult and we need a candidate who will be able of rallying all countries of the continent.”
Commenting on the 69-year-old Senegalese diplomat’s candidature, McFadden said Africa “needs bold and innovative ideas from someone who knows its past and who contributed to its wealth to break the continent’s political path”. She added “it was time to push the door and create a different future for Africa”.
Cape Verde’s former minister of foreign affairs Brito said: “Bathily should be the bearer of this major break by positioning himself as an intellectual and man of the people who supports effective and efficient reform in the African Union.”
Bathily expressed “all my gratitude to the Senegalese President Macky Sall for endorsing me but also all my gratitude to the entire region in support of a single candidate for Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas)”.
Bathily said that his candidacy is the result of “almost 40 years in the service of Africa, for independence, stability and prosperity.”
Aminata Touré, Sall's Special Envoy, said: “President Macky Sall is your campaign manager.”

Amina gets EAC backing for AU post
East African Foreign Affairs Ministers have endorsed their Kenyan counterpart Amina Mohamed’s bid to chair the African Union Commission.
The ministers; Uganda’s Sam Kutesa, Aimable Otis of Burundi and Rwanda’s Louise Mushikiwabo vowed to lobby other African heads of state to back Ambassador Mohamed’s candidature.
The Tanzanian Foreign Affairs minister Augustine Mahiga, who chairs the community council of foreign ministers, was represented by the country’s head of chancery at its High commission in Nairobi, Talha Mohamed.
The meeting held at the Villa Rosa Kempinsiki in Nairobi on Saturday, resolved that Ms Mohammed was the best for the job.
The Nairobi meeting comes just a day after Ms Mohammed accompanied Deputy President William Ruto in a campaign blitz in ten West and Central African countries to ask for their support in the January 2017 elections.
Ms Mohamed wants to replace South Africa’s Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma who has finished her four-year-term and did not seek a second term.
