African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf has clarified a photo showing him aboard a luxurious private jet, following public criticism over the image’s timing as several African nations grapple with crises.
Youssouf, who shared the explanation on his official X account, said the aircraft had been placed at his disposal by Angolan President João Lourenço to help him catch another engagement after attending an infrastructure conference in Luanda.
