A Resounding Validation of Algeria’s African Leadership and Diplomatic Prowess

Algiers, Algeria | February 17th, 2025 —  In a significant show of support and recognition, Salah Goudjil, Speaker of the Council of the Nation, extended his heartfelt congratulations to President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on Monday following the election of Algerian Ambassador Selma Malika Haddadi as Vice President of the African Union Commission. This diplomatic milestone, achieved during the 38th Ordinary Session of the AU Summit of Heads of State and Government in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, underscores Algeria’s unwavering commitment to consolidating its African roots and reclaiming its historical stature as a continental powerhouse.

Goudjil hailed this triumph as a testament to President Tebboune’s steadfast vision of fostering “a strong and victorious Algeria that deepens its African identity and bolsters its regional influence.” He emphasized that the resounding success of Algeria’s diplomatic efforts under Tebboune’s leadership is a reflection of the country’s resolute engagement in African affairs, underscoring its determination to shape the future of the continent on its own terms.

Algeria and Africa: An Unbreakable Bond of Shared Destiny

Speaking on the significance of this victory, Goudjil reaffirmed Algeria’s fundamental belief that “Africa belongs to Africans, and that the solutions to its challenges must be conceived and implemented by Africans themselves.” He highlighted the undeniable impact of Algeria’s participation in the AU Summit, particularly President Tebboune’s articulate and visionary address, which resonated across the continent and beyond. His speech, coupled with Algeria’s firm commitment to pan-African solidarity, further cemented the country’s standing as a vanguard of African unity and self-determination.

According to Goudjil, “the exceptional brilliance and diplomatic dynamism exhibited by President Tebboune at this crucial African forum, along with his proactive stance on African security, stability, and development, have set a new benchmark for Algeria’s influence in continental affairs.” He lauded the election of Ambassador Haddadi as an indisputable validation of Algeria’s growing prominence within the African Union and a historical moment that crowns the tireless efforts of the nation’s diplomacy.

Algeria’s Leadership in Governance and Pan-African Development

As President of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), President Tebboune has further reinforced Algeria’s role as a guiding force in promoting good governance, institutional reform, and sustainable development across Africa. Goudjil underlined that the positive international reception of Algeria’s contributions at the summit is a testament to the global recognition of its diplomatic acumen and commitment to justice, equity, and self-reliance for African nations.

“The strategic solutions put forth by President Tebboune to enhance governance, strengthen security, and accelerate development in Africa serve as an exemplary model of responsible leadership,” Goudjil asserted. “Algeria’s unwavering resolve to uphold the interests of African peoples and to combat injustices that continue to hinder their progress has deepened the continent’s trust in our nation—a trust rooted in Algeria’s revolutionary legacy as the beacon of liberation and resistance against colonial oppression.”

Goudjil concluded his message by reaffirming Algeria’s immutable bond with Africa, stating that “Algeria and Africa are not merely allies—they are one and the same entity, bound by a shared destiny and an unyielding aspiration for sovereignty, dignity, and leadership on the global stage.” This latest diplomatic success, he emphasized, is yet another demonstration of Algeria’s indispensable role in shaping the African future, guided by the principles of solidarity, self-determination, and strategic vision.

With the election of Ambassador Haddadi to a pivotal role within the African Union Commission, Algeria continues to chart a course toward continental leadership, unwavering in its pursuit of a united, prosperous, and independent Africa. This landmark achievement is a clear reaffirmation of Algeria’s status as a regional power whose influence and credibility remain unparalleled on the African stage.
