Today is International #ReligiousFreedom day. As 🇬🇧 PM @Theresa_May Special Envoy on Freedom of Religion or Belief, I continue to push for a world where people of all faiths & none, can live their lives, free of discrimination, free of fear, & free of persecution
اغرب قضية محاكمه يمكن ان تشاهدها⚡️‼️🚨
ابن يرفع قضية في المحكمه لان ابوه لم يشتري له سيارة فيراري او لامبورغيني وانما سياره كهربائيه وهو ما اعتبرة اهانة وعدم تقدير للمعايير الخاصة به .
Honoured to congratulate Sami El-Hashimi on receiving the Franco-German Prize for Human Rights and the Rule of Law. Her courageous work for victims of conflict in Sudan reminds us that defending human dignity is a shared responsibility – and a daily commitment. 🇩🇪🤝🇫🇷
Minister @jmalbares received today, at the @SpainMFA, a group of women from Yemeni civil society.
The meeting, organized together with the @UN, has focused on identifying strategies to increase the participation of women in political and economic leadership.
Confirmed from on the ground:
There are 38 children over the age of six, 8 teenagers and 42 carers from Al-Maygoma have not been evacuated from Madani due to a logistical error.
Efforts ongoing from ERR's to help them as well as 84 vulnerable children in al-Hasahisa.
Today 4,000 kits of core relief items crossed and cleared from #Ethiopia into southeast #Sudan. It’s enough to improve the lives of 20,000 people, but the good news isn’t the number; it’s the route.
We’ve been pushing for #humanitarian assistance to enter via as many border crossings as possible to max out the flow of lifesaving aid to people across this vast country. This is the first major aid shipment originating from Ethiopia into Sudan. Hopefully not the last; it was meant as a test case and to break new ground.
To be frank, it took months to coordinate and build consensus with all relevant stakeholders, and to push through different and new procedures—but now that it’s established, much easier to re-run. Thanks to Governors in both Amhara (Ethiopia) and Gedaref (Sudan) for facilitating movements within and across their territories (not easy in current contexts on either side), for @OCHA_Ethiopia and our Ethiopia team for supporting clearances on the other side of the border, and the Humanitarian Aid Commission and Wali’s office in Gedaref for expediting clearances this side.
With thanks also to flexible humanitarian donors, notably @Sida, @NorwayMFA, and @SwissDevCoop, for also sharing risks and uncertainties with us in treading new paths.
