 President Mahama’s Praise for Addis Ababa: A Deeper Call for African Unity

H.E John Dramani Mahama 

When President John Dramani Mahama described Addis Ababa as “a beautiful city that truly qualifies as Africa’s capital,” he delivered more than a compliment he echoed a profound Pan-African vision. Addis Ababa, home to the African Union, has long been a hub of continental diplomacy and the heartbeat of Africa’s collective aspirations.

Mahama’s statement reinforces the symbolic role the Ethiopian capital plays in Africa’s journey toward unity and shared progress. For decades, he has been a strong advocate for regional cooperation, particularly through ECOWAS, championing peace, free movement, and deeper economic ties among African nations.

A Leader Committed to the African Dream

President Mahama’s leadership reflects consistent dedication to African integration through:

Supporting continental economic linkages and free trade

Promoting Agenda 2063 and AU development goals

Encouraging peaceful conflict resolution across West Africa

Advocating for stronger political ties among African states

His recognition of Addis Ababa as “Africa’s capital” is therefore a powerful endorsement of Pan-Africanism and a call for Africans to embrace unity.

Addis Ababa symbolizes what Africa can achieve cultural pride, modern development, and diplomatic leadership. Mahama’s admiration highlights a shared dream: a united Africa that collaborates, grows, and speaks with one voice.
