Washington, DC - February 13, 2024

AdNA supports the right of the Senegalese people to peacefully protest President Sall’s actions, individually or collectively, and to engage in public political debate on the same. We demand that Senegal adhere to its constitutional, regional and international obligations to respect and protect the rights to association, peaceful assembly and freedom of expression and the media. Any violations must be fully investigated and those responsible, held accountable. Those arbitrarily detained must be immediately released.

(Covid Working Group)

I hope this message finds you well and ready to join us in an exciting new journey. The Advocacy Network for Africa's COVID-19 Working Group has now transformed into the Africa Wellness Working Group, representing a significant shift in our efforts to address a broader range of health and wellness issues on our continent.

The Africa Wellness Working Group will expand its advocacy efforts to encompass critical concerns such as hunger, climate change, drought, flooding, and violence against women and girls. By broadening our scope, we can better serve the diverse needs of African countries and contribute to the holistic well-being of our people.

We invite all AdNA members who are passionate about advocating for these important issues on behalf of African people to join us in this journey. We will hold biweekly meetings on Thursdays at 4 p.m., starting May 16, 2024.

Our first meeting will focus on establishing the group's mission and strategy and identifying urgent priorities for action. We need your input and participation to shape the direction of our advocacy efforts and make a meaningful impact in our communities.

Join us for this inaugural meeting and be a part of this promising and accompanying movement that advocates for the well-being of our people.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me or any of the members of the working group.

Best regards,
