SOMALILANDERS:- The Chairperson the African Union Commission (AUC) has issued the continent’s rallying push for Ethiopia’s former health and foreign affairs chief who is a front-runner to become Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO).

In a tweet on Monday morning – May 22, 2017, AUC chair Moussa Faki Mahamat alluded to the strength of Africa when it unites, in reference to the fact that the continent was united behind the candidature of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

‘‘When Africa speaks with one voice, she wins. Africa is united for Dr. Tedros,’‘ the AUC chief’s tweet read. Dr. Tedros, a Public Health Specialist will become the first African to hold the position in nearly seven decades of the WHO’s existence.
