In Africa, border regions are too often where poverty, fragility, and neglect converge, while in more developed parts of the world, borders are where connectivity, growth, and opportunity thrive.
This must concern us.
At the 28th Horn of Africa Initiative meeting on prioritising corridors to enhance trade and connectivity, I reiterated that borderlands must be placed at the centre of sustainable development in our region.
Corridors must not only move goods. They must also create opportunity for the communities that live along them.

@kajakallas@hadjalahbib Our world is getting wickediest, each passing day. Tell me why we have normalized death, particularly on Africans, and the only affordable solution is "NEGOTIATIONS?" What role does the international criminal justice do?
@tekinsaeko It honestly sucks that the institution that pledged to restore dignity for Africans is now perpetuating it, a clear sign of weakness and inability to deliver.

Investing in girls’ rights👏 is both a moral duty 👏 and a strategic choice.
On this #DayOfTheGirl, @UN_Women stands with every girl whose rights are threatened, whose voice is silenced, and whose leadership goes unrecognized.

Since 1995,
