Message of condolences and compassion of UCLG Africa to The Chairman of the Council of Governors of Kenya

It is with consternation and infinite sadness that we heard the news of the tragic Ethiopian Airlines Boeing crash that took place on Sunday, March 10th, which has caused the loss of so many victims of different nationalities.

In these painful moments, I would like to express to you our deepest condolences, on behalf of the entire local authorities community in Africa and on my own behalf.

Please share with the families of all the victims and particularly the people of Kenya, my sympathy and that of the UCLG Africa governing bodies on the occasion of this tragic ordeal.

Let’s all pray that Earth will be light for all the victims of the crash and that their souls will rest in peace.

Jean Pierre Elong Mbassi,
Secretary General of UCLG Africa
