Très choqué par la déclaration de Céleste Amarilla, sénatrice du Paraguay. Ces propos sont inadmissibles. Le racisme décomplexé gangrène notre société et je ne veux jamais m’y habituer.
L’équipe de France ressemble à la France, et @KMbappe est l’un des plus grands représentants de notre pays. Je lui apporte tout mon soutien.
Merci de nous faire rêver à chaque match toi et @equipedefrance !
.@HassanAKhaire deserves more credit. He opposed mandate extension efforts, was removed while away on official duty, accepted it without creating a crisis and moved on.
Today, he continues to defend democracy and constitutional order with his own resources and at personal cost.
Na een dag waarin anderen mij opnieuw wilden uitleggen van wie Nederland is, sluit ik af in Oranje.
Ik heb dit land niet geërfd. Ik heb het leren kennen en ben ervan gaan houden. Via de taal die ik met moeite leerde, de wetten die ik serieus neem, de vrijheden die ik niet vanzelfsprekend vind en de gewoonten die ik stap voor stap ben gaan begrijpen. Ook de ongemakkelijke.
Hier werk ik, hier leef ik, hier draag ik bij, hier voer ik het publieke gesprek en hier ben ik thuisgeraakt. Mijn wieg stond elders, maar mijn leven ligt hier. Ik vraag niemand om toestemming om van Nederland te houden.
Nederland is ook van ons.
Fijne avond! 🇳🇱
Wajir High School is undergoing a major facelift as part of efforts to improve learning infrastructure and align the institution with the Competency-Based Education curriculum.

I am so proud of my friend, Sagal Abdi-Wali, who arrived in Camden as a Somali refugee, now leads the Council. Formally nominated by Izzy, who said how pleased she was, as a Jewish woman, to put forward a Muslim. This is what living in Camden means: diversity and tolerance!
There was a bigger crowd outside the Emirates last night than for Tommy ‘Bottle-Job’ Robinson’s march on Saturday. Arsenal has United the Kingdom in a way he never will.
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

I have seen some of my fellow Kenyans disapproving of this France-Africa summit happening in Nairobi. If the same summit was hosted in Addis or Kigali, the same Kenyans would be frothing at the mouth about how Kenya has lost its mojo.
Others even claim that we are betraying our West African brothers who parted ways with France.
Kenya's foreign policy should be guided by Kenya's interests, not by other countries' grievances.
France is the EU's 2nd largest economy with a massive tech, industrial, and agricultural ecosystem. A summit opens doors to aviation partnerships, agricultural exports like tea, coffee, and cut flowers, and tourism .France alone sends millions of tourists across Africa every year. These are tangible benefits: jobs, forex, and market access for Kenyan producers. France is also home to Airbus rivalling Boeing.
As for "betraying" West Africa, each African nation navigates its own relationship with former colonial powers based on its own history and circumstances. Kenya was never a French colony. We carry no CFA franc burden, no French military bases, no Françafrique baggage. West African nations are sovereign and fully capable of advocating for themselves. Many of them, including Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire, still maintain active diplomatic and economic ties with France themselves. If they still engage Paris, who are we to boycott on their behalf?
Should Kenya also boycott China over its treatment of African debt? Should we cut ties with the UK over colonial-era atrocities? Solidarity is important, but it cannot mean economic self-sabotage.
We don't feed our children with pan-African slogans. We feed them with trade, investment, and opportunity.
We must learn to separate Kenya The Republic from political parties. The moment you do that then you may wear the rational lens.
As always I choose to remain an optimist
The Coffee Club at the Luqman Mall, off Gitanga Road, Lavington, Nairobi, is top notch.
A franchise of the famous Australian chain, it's spacious, has friendly and warm interior decor and the coffee is wonderful.
I met the young manager, owner who told me The Coffee Club branch in Kenya is a joint partnership with Luqman Energy, a petroleum retailer in East Africa.
He employs 77 staff and the coffee blend used is predominantly Kenyan, sourced directly from farmers in central Kenya.
CJ's, Java and Arte Caffe now have some serious competition.
Coffee lovers now have some good choices.
Kenyan President William Ruto said his government and neighboring Uganda’s are in talks with Africa’s richest man to build a crude oil refinery in Tanzania https://t.co/jyCNnQs4rG
Home, again! Mission complete. I hope we glorified God, humanity, our families and our terrific teams a @NASA and @csa_asc. Time to share the good news!
The European Service Module put on a powerful demonstration of Europe’s capability to deliver critical elements for ambitious international exploration missions. On behalf of @ESA, I would like to sincerely thank all our industrial partners across Europe for their dedication, professionalism and relentless focus on quality.
This success reflects years of close cooperation, engineering excellence and trust between ESA and European industry. In particular, I would like to recognise @AirbusSpace, as prime contractor of this complex and truly pan‑European effort.
Welcome home to the crew!
The worldwide reputation of the US has been badly damaged. But the success of Artemis II reminds us there’s another America, clever, bold, open to the world, which we love and admire.
President William Ruto has constituted the inaugural Governing Council of the National Infrastructure Fund, the engine that will underpin Kenya’s transformation into a first-world economy.
