China's mediation e orts o er hope for Africa's crises

Parts of Africa grappling with the dual challenges of armed con

icts and climate change are among the

Cross. Patrick Youssef, the ICRC's regional director of Africa, has urged the global community to take

concrete actions to address these intertwined crises. He also highlighted China's e
