2023 took unexpected turns, making me realize the fragility of moments. It taught me the value of cherishing people and embracing change. 2023 was a lesson in holding on to hope, not giving up, that adaptability and living in the moment are key in navigating life’s uncertainties.

🇹🇿🤝🇫🇷 AKF is delighted to announce the signing a new memorandum of understanding with @AFD_France to advance coastal resilience and regenerative agriculture in #Tanzania - building on nearly two decades of partnership between the French Republic, the Ismaili Imamat and the @akdn and over $1 billion in joint investment across 20 countries.
✍️ The MOU was signed on 12 May by Éléonore Caroit, France’s Minister Delegate for Francophonie, International Partnerships and French Nationals Abroad; Christophe Lecourtier, Chief Executive Officer of AFD; Shamir Samdjee, Official Representative of the Ismaili Imamat to the French Republic; and Dr. @MattReedAKDN, Director of Institutional Partnerships at AKF.
🔵 Under the MOU, AKF and AFD will work together in Tanzania on two fronts: protecting marine and coastal ecosystems, in partnership with government ministries in both Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar; and supporting smallholder farmers in coastal communities to adopt climate-resilient farming that boosts food security, biodiversity and livelihoods.
🌿 A preliminary €38.5 million is earmarked for the marine ecosystems work, combining resources from AFD and AKF. The agreement builds on a Declaration of Intent signed in Paris in July 2025 in support of AKF's 10-year Indian Ocean 'ReGeneration' Initiative — which has already planted more than 1.7 million mangroves on the Tanzanian coast since 2023.
🇰🇪 The signing took place on the sidelines of the #AfricaForwardSummit in Nairobi, Kenya, which brought together African heads of state, the President of France, the African Union, international financial institutions and development partners.

NEW 🇮🇷: Another Lego Animation Video from Iran
Titled: Ababil is Back
Ababil refers to miraculous, flocking birds mentioned in the Quran (Surah Al-Fil) that protected the Kaaba in Mecca by dropping small clay stones on an attacking army.
In modern contexts, it commonly refers to Iranian-manufactured Ababil-2 and Ababil-5 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used for surveillance, training, and loitering munitions.
Note: I do not condone any violence depicted in this video. It is shared solely for informational purposes.

this is also a manifestation of the racist ideology the west has towards non-white people. the only explanation for this behavior by the bbc is that it doesn’t see the iranians as human beings, while the israelis retain the title of “chosen people.” beware of the lies:
In the last decades, #Africa has had great men like the late Nkrumah, Samora Machel, Julius Nyerere, & Nelson Mandela. All of them were involved in struggle against oppression. We're deeply fond of #Africa because this region has always stood up against oppression.

🔴 President of Burkina Faso has firmly condemned the US aggression in Iran and has dispatched 200 soldiers to support Iran in its territorial défense.

Nilitaka kutoa rambirambi zangu kwa taifa la Iran, lakini nikakumbuka hakuwa tu kiongozi wa Iran.
Nilitaka kutoa rambirambi zangu kwa Waislamu wa kweli, lakini nikakumbuka hakuwa tu kiongozi wa Waislamu.
Rambirambi kwa kila mwanamapinduzi aliyeonewa na anayetafuta
He could’ve flown to God knows where.
But he knew the price, and he chose to pay it, at 86 years of age.
His fingernail has more honor than your entire lineage.
