When starting a new posting it's vital to get out and about to meet key people. In Dodoma with @ukaguziTanzania seeing how UK support has enabled new capabilities in digital forensics, making it harder for money to be hidden. Vital work. @UKinTanzania

تلقيت بحزن بالغ نبأ رحيل احد أبناء هذا الوطن البررة المخلصين له حتي اخر الانفاس، الا وهو انتوني انيس حجار الذي فارق الحياة مبكراً في وقت تتكاثر فيه الخطوب على السودان وتتضاعف فيه المحن. لقد ظل انتوني مهموما بالوطن مسكون بحبه رغم الداء العضال الذي الم به، يسعي للتوفيق بين الفرقاء وللتباحث في كيفية الخروج من الكارثة التي حاقت بالوطن والتي ظل الفقيد يعمل حتى آخر أنفاسه لإخراج الوطن منها. وانني اذ أعزي اسرته المكلومة اعزي أيضا الاف الشباب الذين كانوا يكنون له كل التقدير والعرفان، واعزي نفسي وبلادنا في رحيله المر.

لقد كان انتوني حجار أحد القلائل الذين سخروا حياتهم لخدمة الناس دون من أو أذى، وساهم بشكل مستمر في أعمال وطنية لم يبتغي منها سوى مصلحة شعبه وبلاده.

خالص التعازي والمواساة لأسرته واصدقائه ومحبيه، ولهم حسن العزاء والصبر والسلوان، وله الرحمة والمغفرة بقدر ما قدم للناس من خير غير منقطع.

إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون

Our fruitful deliberations, focused on strengthening Ghana's security and defence relationship with the UK, through the UK - Ghana Security Dialogue.

We also discussed emerging threats in the West Africa sub-region, and Ghana's strategic role in contributing to the maintenance of regional security, including maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea.

Education is the catalyst for growth; the antidote for ignorance; the light for development. I choose SDG 4.
