The ICJ has spoken: Climate inaction may breach international law.

The Pacific’s fight for justice is now backed by the world’s highest court.
We are not drowning — we are fighting, with the law on our side.

“We are not passengers in this vaka – we are the crew.”
At the Pacific Maritime Security Workshop, I called for unity, innovation, and Pacific-led solutions to secure our Blue Pacific.
Let’s chart an #OceanOfPeace together.

So pleased to meet James Tanis, former BRA, President; now peace builder in Bougainville. We had a profound discussion on political, social, and development issues in Bougainville. Looking forward to continued dialogue and collaboration. #Bougainville #PeaceBuilding #Development

"Disheartened to see that the election of the Prime Minister in the Solomon Islands has been overshadowed by concerns of potential violence. In ordinary times, we seldom need such a heavy security presence. A more inclusive approach to political decision-making is essential"

🇸🇧 As Thursday's PM election approaches, the CARE and United Party Coalition haven't revealed their candidate, despite a prior agreement—clearly still deciding on their nominee. In contrast, the OUR Party and its coalition have swiftly announced their candidate.

[Transform Aqorau @AqorauTransform]

🇸🇧 PM Manasseh Sogavare nominates Jeremiah Manele as OUR Party's candidate for Solomon Islands' PM election this Thursday. Manele, seen as Sogavare's successor, is expected to attract broad support. #SolomonIslandsElection

As PM elections near in Solomon Islands, history shows political alliances are short-lived, shaped by personal interests. Who will emerge as PM remains a game of strategic trade-offs. #SolomonIslandsPolitics"

[Transform Aqorau @AqorauTransform]

Early results indicate a surprising turn of events in North Malaita! A major upset as the winner unseats well-funded contestants and former militants. This signals a significant shift away from the traditional influence of the Malaita Eagle Force. #SolomonIslandsElections #

[Transform Aqorau @AqorauTransform]

As the Solomon Islands Elections results unfold, remember: party results can never be trusted. The allegiance of successful candidates is often too fluid, with true loyalty not to party, but to the strategic trades and deals they make. #ElectionIntegrity #PoliticalDynamics"

Synchronised voting has slowed the counting process, leaving voters in suspense. Early results indicate 5 incumbent members have been re-elected, highlighting the disparity in access to state resources compared to non-member candidates. #ElectionDay#

[Transform Aqorau @AqorauTransform]

The countdown for the Honiara Constituency elections has begun, with tight security in place. Crowds are already gathering at counting stations, eager for the first results. The exact time when results will start coming in remains unknown, but anticipation is high! #ElectionsSI#

[Transform Aqorau @AqorauTransform]

Voted in the first-ever synchronised voting system today to elect our rep for Central Honiara Constituency & Kola Ward in the Honiara Town Council. Confession: I didn't know the candidates for the Town Council, so I chose based on the most appealing symbol! Wonder whose it was?
