Almost immediately after scoring a series of upset victories in New York last week, members of the rising progressive movement started looking ahead to their next target: Colorado’s 1st Congressional District.

Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old democratic socialist and lawyer, is challenging 15-term Rep. Diana DeGette for the solidly blue seat in Denver, where she and her allies hope voters are also ready for change. https://t.co/kMT02dBn1E

When I took office as @WHO Director-General in 2017, we recognized WHO’s overreliance on voluntary contributions from a handful of donors as a major risk, and we took steps to mitigate it.

As part of our broader transformation, we initiated a financial reform to broaden WHO’s revenue sources. Our Member States agreed to increase their fees (so-called assessed contributions) to reach 50% of our base budget, to be provided in five instalments.

This reform helped cushion the impact of funding cuts, and following a prioritization and realignment process over the past 16 months - now complete, we have reached a position of stability and are moving forward. We now project that 90% of the base budget for the current biennium, 2026–2027, will be funded.

As I told the media recently, systemic problems cannot be solved in a year or two. By building the broadest possible revenue source, we are laying the groundwork to prevent shocks like last year’s.

Since 2022, two instalments have already been approved, and as the remaining three are to be approved over the next five years, the Organization will reach better stability and independence.

A sustainably financed WHO is essential to promote, provide, and protect health, including by coordinating the international response to events such as the #hantavirus outbreak.

In violation of the Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, the Ethiopian regime executed a drone strike in the Sheraro area of the Northwest Tigray Region this morning, resulting in fatalities and injuries among members of the Tigray Army during their routine activities. This breach is not an isolated incident; the regime has previously conducted drone strikes targeting civilians in various parts of Tigray. Justice and accountability for the genocide perpetrated by this regime and its allied forces against the Tigray people remain absent. Furthermore, the regime is reportedly preparing for another campaign aimed at exterminating the people of Tigray, having failed to subdue them through measures such as budget cuts, restrictions on fuel, medicines, food aid, and cash, alongside committing further atrocities. @SecRubio @StateDept @SenateForeign @SenatorShaheen @SenatorRisch @SenatorCardin @SenateGOP @SenateDems @BradSherman @antonioguterres

Pretoria’s Unfinished Peace Is Fueling Tigray’s New Crisis. "The AU presented the Pretoria Agreement as evidence that African diplomacy could end the continent’s deadliest wars. Over 3 years later, Tigray is still waiting for the promise to be fulfilled"

#Tunisia has eliminated #trachoma - I congratulate the government, health workers and communities in 🇹🇳 on this historic public health achievement. Eliminating trachoma shows what long-term political commitment, strong primary health care and teamwork can do: https://t.co/6XFbE6q1GA

Compassion. Kindness. Dignity.

It is morally unacceptable to expand security partnerships with the gov't of #Ethiopia that invaded & committed genocide on the people of #Tigray. The people of Tigray are perishing in shelters without basic necessities. #AbiyAhmedAli denied food to the people in Tigray‼️

To Ambassador, Mike Waltz @USAmbUN:

The U.S. cannot claim global human rights leadership while ignoring genocide in Tigray.

Accountability is not optional. It is obligatory.

Attacks on health in conflict settings are rising.

Driven by the latest escalation of hostilities in the Middle East since they started on 28 February, the average number of daily attacks on health globally, as recorded by @WHO, has increased from 3.7 to 4.3 per day.

In the Middle East region alone during the past two months, WHO has verified 149 attacks on health care in Lebanon, 26 in Iran, and 6 in Israel, resulting in 111 deaths and 233 injuries, mainly in Lebanon.

Health facilities, health workers and patients are protected under international humanitarian law.

Attacks on health must stop. Peace is the best medicine.

@UKinEthiopia Despite the promises of the Pretoria Agreement, Tigray continue to endure conditions that mirror a blockade. Priority to address the specific and systemic pressures currently being exerted on the people of Tigray by the federal government's recent actions is important.

[Fewsi @MesmeraiT]

@UKinEthiopia Fuel allocations to Tigray have reportedly plummeted from 15 million liters to just 1.2 million liters. This shortage has paralyzed the distribution of what little humanitarian aid is available, leaving life-saving supplies sitting in warehouses while people perish.

[Fewsi @MesmeraiT]

@UKinEthiopia Public servants across Tigray have been deprived of their rightful earnings for months. This is not merely an administrative delay; it is a weaponization of economic resources that has pushed thousands of families to the brink of starvation.

[Fewsi @MesmeraiT]

@UKinEthiopia Over a million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) remain trapped in squalid tent camps. Without adequate food, medicine, or a clear path to return to their homes in Western and Southern Tigray, they are being subjected to a slow-motion catastrophe.

[La république @Larpublique11]

@UKinEthiopia It is funny how @UKinEthiopia forgot to mention the Genocidal Ethiopian regime is still holding Tigray under siege, multiple violation by the the regime from drone attacks to electing president without the approval of TPLF not to mention IDP still not returnedto#WesternTigray

[T. H @TBerhe5]

@UKinEthiopia 1.1 million uprooted from their homestead (IDPs) are living in a despicable condition and the 6th winter is fast approaching yet no one was and is speaking up for them. Why haven't the UK, EU, USA or UN done anything to get the IDPs to their homestead safely? Why statements now?
