She expresses the readiness of the AU to support, as necessary, the implementation of the Agreement.
The Chairperson of the Commission commends President Ismaïl Omar Guelleh for his strong commitment to dialogue and for all the steps taken by his Government to successfully conclude the negotiations with the opposition, to the benefit of national harmony and prosperity for the people of Djibouti.
