The @UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent will convene its 5th session in Geneva from 14 to 17 April, marking its first 5 years & focusing on expanding rights & advancing justice under the 2nd International Decade for People of African Descent ➔https://t.co/QBAKVSCJQy

Developing countries face a serious barrier to progress: debt.

The Borrower’s Platform – a new mechanism supported by the @UN – will offer debt-distressed countries a way to coordinate action, share knowledge & amplify their voice in the global financial system.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The absence of permanent African seats on the Security Council is indefensible.

The Security Council must reflect today’s world. This is 2026 — not 1946.

Whenever decisions about Africa and the world are on the table, Africa must be at the table.

Fruitful discussion and a clear roadmap to the support to Somalia

[Amb. Gamal M Hassan @AmbGamal]

Constructive meeting today with H.E. @RGrynspan, Secretary-General of @UNCTAD in Addis Ababa.

We had a thoughtful exchange on how to deepen our partnership in modernizing trade, with a clear focus on accelerating the digitalization of core services. A key priority for us is building robust, commerce and investment-focused digital infrastructure that makes our commerce ecosystem more efficient, transparent, and responsive to businesses.

"The International Day for Women and Girls of #AfricanDescent for the first time recognizes there is a special place and a special experience that women African descent, especially in the diaspora, have and that others don't share."

I wish there was an online option @iainoverton . I would have jumped on this eyes closed. As a former journalist from the Great Lakes, there is plenty to do to shine some light on the challenges within the region.

Trade transforms lives.

As we celebrate our 60th this year, and as we look ahead to #MSMEDay this week, here are my reflections on how the smallest of businesses make a big difference.

Here's my cover story in Diva, the magazine of international Geneva.

How can we accept that Africa still lacks a single Permanent Member in the Security Council?

Institutions must reflect today’s world, not that of 80 years ago.

September’s Summit of the Future will be an opportunity to consider global governance reforms & re-build trust.

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

#MLKDay is a timeless reminder of the imperative to ensure equality & justice for all.

Govts must demonstrate greater political will & end systemic & structural racism thru:
-accountability & reparations
-participatory policy reforms
-educational initiatives
that puts rights 1st

[Nations Unies (ONU) @ONU_fr]

Forte de l'abondance de ses ressources, l'Afrique peut devenir une destination manufacturière de premier plan pour les industries à forte intensité technologique & un acteur majeur des chaînes d'approvisionnement mondiales.

President @WilliamsRuto has said reforms in the international financial system will help boost investor confidence in Africa.

The President said derisking Africa will foster better relations between the public and private sectors for the common good.

He noted that the current financial system that has falsely profiled the global south as a risky investment destination works against the continent. - https://t.co/4xEmN04Zmv

. @easyJet_press does the company have an anti racism strategy or it is just lack of training of your staff. Appalling behavior or your staff tonight @BrusselsAirport. Flight to Geneva. Incredibly racists and really needs fixing. Embarrassing. #Dignity #racisme
