In a press statement, Abu-Zeid wished that the agreement would bring about permanent peace in Æthiopia and give the Æthiopian government and people an opportunity to remove the effect of disputes and to reconstruct social stability. He asserted the importance of boosting peace, stability and security in Africa, especially in east Africa. Abu-Zeid expressed Egypt’s thanks and appreciation to the High Representative of the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... (AU) for the Horn of Africa, to former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo, to the members of the AU High-level panel for the Æthiopian Peace process and to members of the AU group of wise men for the efforts they made to help the conflicting parties reach this agreement.
