On #DemocracyDay I sat down with @KakwenzaRukira, Ugandan writer-in-exile who was tortured in prison.

He now fears for his life if he returns to #Uganda.

The EU will continue to raise #HumanRights concerns with Uganda.

No real democracy tortures its people.

To my followers in Uganda & elsewhere, thanks for the last five years exchanges! Since I have handed over my duty of EU Ambassador, I invite you to follow @EUinUG and @JanSadek to remain informed of EU actions in Uganda. I wish Amb. Sadek every success in the Pearl of Africa

[Attilio Pacifici @APacificiEU]

I wish you the very best Nicholas. You deserve that and more. I really enjoyed our long talks.

[Nicholas Opiyo (Pronouns He/Him) @nickopiyo]

I'll miss @APacificiEU's straight-talking even & esp. on complex issues. This wide-ranging interview in the @newvisionwire is typically frank. You can hear his voice crack in frustration at some of the self-distractive things we're wont to do to ourselves, like @DGFUganda17 lies

[EU in Uganda @EUinUG]

The UNGA’s decision to suspend Russia from the Human Rights Council sends a strong signal of accountability and upholds the integrity of the UN Human Rights System.

Today, the international community has shown there will be no impunity.

A lot of green again

[Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF]

The international community has spoken again: #UNGA demands an immediate cessation of hostilities by Russia, in particular attacks against civilians.

140 votes for the Resolution on Humanitarian consequences of the aggression against #Ukraine.

Russia will be held accountable.

[Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF]

Today marks one month of Russia’s brutal unjustified invasion of #Ukraine.

So far, the war has led to almost 1000 civilians killed and 10 million people displaced, including more than half of all Ukrainian children.

#EUCO tonight discusses further support to Ukraine with @POTUS

[Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF]

#PutinsWar continues and so does EU resolve to support #Ukraine and to cripple the financing of the Kremlin’s war machinery.

New EU sanctions include sectoral measures and more individuals and companies that play a role in supporting the aggression.

Any journalist in Moscow please ask Sergey Lavrov:

If Russia is saving Ukraine from a genocidal regime, and Ukrainians are welcoming Russian forces as liberators, why are the refugees fleeing west, not east?

[Ambassador of Sweden @SwedEnvoyUganda]

When international law is so grossly violated, we all stand to lose. Smaller countries even more so. That's why #StandWithUkraine️ concerns us all. (2/2)
