Côte d'Ivoire Prime Minister Robert Beugré Mambé Opens 16th African Union of Broadcasting (AUB) General Assembly in Abidjan
Under the impactful theme "Developing Media: Strategies for Financial and Technological Resilience, and Innovative Content," this assembly promises crucial discussions for the future of the African media landscape.
In his inaugural speech, Prime Minister Mambé highlighted the essential role of media in societal transformation: "Media represents a true opportunity for our country. We are counting on you to preserve and strengthen this asset, through the consultation framework offered to you. It is from this dialogue that the right answers to our questions will emerge." This was a clear call for collaboration and the search for collective solutions.
For Cléophas Barore, President of the AUB Executive Council, the funding challenge is omnipresent: "The financing of production and broadcasting remains a daily struggle. These challenges are marked by resource scarcity, fierce competition from new media, information multinationals, and many others." This observation underscores the urgent need for innovation in a constantly evolving media environment.
Amadou Coulibaly, Minister of Communication and Government Spokesperson, for his part, urged broadcasters to embrace new media to better capture the African audience. "With the AUB, your Union, I urge you to work tirelessly to sustainably retain the African audience, in its diversity, by notably taking into account new communication and broadcasting channels such as social media, streaming, OTT, and podcasts, by innovating and valuing local content, our historical, cultural, tourist, and socio-economic values. I commit you to this!" he affirmed, emphasizing the importance of innovation and the promotion of local content in the face of information globalization.
The productive first day also featured a visit to the exhibition stands, offering participants the opportunity to discover the latest innovations in content creation and to forge partnerships.

I thought Taleex was part of Somaliland or part of the so called colonial border, how come Somaliland SNM Militia did not come to help Khaatumo lol Its not funny that innocent civilians might have been killed but people need tolearn to talk peace and solve problems and differencies in a peaceful way,
Why come in and help khatumo out of all people lol they're just going to turn on us tomorrow.. I gotta an idea why doesn't the fgs in Mogadishu come help looooool what a joke
sheegato, leave hawiye out of your darood infighting
I believe somaliland should help the people of taleex. I also believe somaliland government knows puntland's action and is in agreement.
This photo, are they the Khaatumoist or the Puntlandoist? The Somaliland Garison in the area
should pick those Warsanjeli toughest soldiers to teach both the Koist /Puoist a good lesson
that they would never forget. Okay.
Cheers.
These people have no brains if they wanted to live in peace with their neighbors they could take a chapter from the Gadabiirse and Warsangeli everyone in Somaliland that wants to thrive is thriving all they fa qa sh care about is tribal bs. That is the reason their areas arnt developed bc they dont want to work with people and are trapped in the siyad era mindset. This is exactly why Haglatosie or whatever his name is left their camp. He knew they dont have any solutions for the population.
They remind me of the republican party in the United States all they do is scream about Obama etc but have no real solutions to go forward.
sadly the darood family have been brainwashed by siyads leadership, siyad got them to believe that he was the next prophet and that darood were chosen people.
The sad reality is far from that, darood family is just another minority in a land lead by issaq and hawiye
certainly the greatest obstacle to peace in khaatumo state are the Ethiopian cockroaches stooge SNM who are executing the strategic plan of Ethiopian to divide Somalia.
Puntland should respect the choices of Khaatumo people and Khaatumo state should work with Puntland for peace and unity for their beloved country Somalia.
Hey buqland we will divide walowayn into pieces once Somliland ictiraaf cames kkk.
u got that right khdar ….. by the way geezer the new report of un came out and there is no surprise Somalia is one of the most courpted countries so hell yeah we wont to divide and separate from this cancer called Somalia will rather to join Djibouti or Ethiopia than that so called Somalia your joke parlman is bea & moshtree
There is no something called Khatuma . it is just a joke.
The place is part of Somaliland. Do not forget that Somaliland is strong nation. It has very powerful army
Crockroach is not Ethiopia. Ethiopia is our strongst ally and regional superpower.
The crockroach is one who called himself Darood one time as member of the Puntaland, and again fight
when they did not pay him. Somaliland is majority with DIR tribes: Isaaq, Samroon and Issa.
Answer to Dahir Hawiye from Issa DIR man from Dirir-Dawe.
Dahir be proud that you are Hawiye cousine of Dir. Today thanks to God, that there is three free countries of IRIR SAMAALE. Jabuuti, Somaliland and Somalia. Somaliland is yours because your cousins Isaaq,
Gadabuursi and Issa are majority. Daroods are manority.
