🇰🇪 H.E. Dr. William Samoei Ruto arrives in Kigali with a message the continent has been waiting for.

🔙 Just days ago in Nairobi, co-hosting the Africa Forward Summit alongside President Emmanuel Macron, Kenya's Head of State drew a line under decades of donor logic and called for something far more ambitious: an Africa that finances Africa. He pointed to over 4 trillion dollars in long-term domestic savings already sitting on the continent, including more than 1 trillion in pension and insurance assets and over 500 billion dollars in central bank reserves, and asked the only question that matters. Why are these resources still waiting for someone else's permission to build the continent?

💡 His answer is structural. Through Kenya's National Infrastructure Fund, already capitalised at around 1 billion dollars, he is testing a model designed to crowd private capital into the corridors, ports, energy systems and digital backbones that will turn the AfCFTA from protocol into market. The thesis is unambiguous: "Africa cannot trade effectively with itself while its economies remain disconnected."

🌍 In Kigali, that same conviction lands at the heart of the Africa CEO Forum 2026 conversation, where pan-African ownership, green industrialisation and the mobilisation of domestic capital are no longer side debates but the main stage. From the Silicon Savannah he has helped engineer to the climate finance reform he has pushed through every multilateral forum that will listen, President Ruto embodies a generation of African leadership that has stopped asking and started building.

🎯 His presence on the presidential panel sets the tone for two days that will define how the continent moves from 4 trillion dollars in potential to 4 trillion dollars in motion.

Productive meeting with President @WilliamsRuto on scaling practical solutions to strengthen food security and resilience.

We aligned on next steps to expand impact—leveraging Kenya’s leadership, both domestically and globally, to accelerate progress in the fight against hunger.

[Arif Husain @WFPChiefEcon]

When oil prices rise, cost of everything else rises with it—food, energy, transport, the cost of daily life itself. Say a little prayer for the poor and hungry amongst us. For them, every spike isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s more hunger, hardship, and heartbreak!

“More than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny. We can master it only if we face it together.” — Kofi Annan

On the anniversary of his passing, we honor the former UN Secretary-General — a tireless advocate for peace, dignity, and multilateralism. His vision and humanity remain a guiding light for the @UN and for all who strive to build a better world. #KofiAnnan

Salaam Ndugu Zangu,

Mtakumbuka kuwa Serikali, kupitia kauli yake rasmi iliyotolewa Bungeni, imeanzisha Programu ya BBT Borelhole - ya kuchimba visima 62,000 kwa ajili ya kuwawezesha wakulima wadogo nchini. Visima hivi vitahudumia zaidi ya hekta milioni 2.2 kwa kipindi cha miaka minane, ikiwa ni sehemu ya mkakati wa kuimarisha kilimo cha umwagiliaji na kupunguza utegemezi wa mvua.

Katika hatua ya awali, Serikali imenunua magari 20 maalum yenye uwezo wa kuchimba visima hadi kufikia kina cha mita 1,500. Magari haya yameanza kuwasili nchini wiki hii, na ifikapo tarehe 15 Juni 2025, yanatarajiwa kuwa yamewasili yote, InshaAllah.

Na mwaka ujao wa fedha, tutatenga tena Fedha kununua magari mengine.

Congratulations to Her Excellency President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, on being sworn in as the 5th President of the Republic of Namibia. In Tanzania, we fondly address you as Mama SWAPO, a name given to you by our Founding Father, the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere. You have made history and set the bar high for Africa’s and Namibia’s girl child.

Your resounding victory is a moment of pride to the continent but more so, to the people of Tanzania, your home during the most part of your prime years. In Tanzania, we are happy to see the daughter we nurtured and raised with love and compassion, has now risen to the highest office of the Republic of Namibia.

Madam President, your neighbours in Magomeni, Dar es Salaam, are joining all Tanzanians and Namibians in celebrating and wishing you all the best.

Revolutionizing food systems means reducing poverty and improving millions of lives.
Through inclusive agricultural transformation, AGRA is driving sustainable food systems across Africa. Ahead of #UNFSS+4, its mission will inspire greater action.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Everyone has a role to play in advancing the SDGs and transforming food systems for the benefit of all.

From Nairobi, discussing how the private sector can drive positive change on the road to #UNFSS+4.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Hunger is rising—driven by conflict, climate shocks, and trade disruptions.
We need sustainable agriculture, support for smallholder farmers, and resilient food systems.
In July, at #UNFSS+4 in Ethiopia, we will push for investments.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Inspired by the work of @UnKenya collective efforts to advance the SDGs and create lasting impact.

Ahead of #UNFSS+4, I count on this team’s support to make the Summit a game-changer for food systems worldwide!

Will Brazil's record grain harvests lead to prosperity or pain? 🌾
The USDA projects massive corn and soybean crops for 2024/25, but farmers face tight margins. Can Brazil balance its agricultural dominance with profitability?

@ValentineMasika @ZoNoHProject Studying these three elements of One Health approach can help communities adapt agrifood practices to be more resilient in changing climates, such as through sustainable livestock management and crop production techniques. #OneHealth # ZoNohchallenge

[Jackie Owilli @JackieOwilli]

Recognizing the interconnections of Human,Animal and Environmental Health are crucial in ensuring resilient livestock systems. The three domains cannot be addressed in isolation.#OneHealth#ZoNoHchallenge

El Nino's extreme weather is disrupting food production worldwide, forcing countries to rethink trade. Droughts, floods, and heatwaves are impacting crops from corn to cocoa. #ElNino #FoodSupply #GlobalTrade

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

When I called @Tim_Walz this morning to ask him to join our campaign, I shared my deep level of respect for him and the work we've done together.

We're going to unify this country and we're going to win.

Let's go get this done.

[Bassirou Diomaye Faye @PR_Diomaye]

J'ai effectué ce matin une visite sur la plateforme #Sangomar, où les premiers barils de pétrole sont en train d'être produits.

Je salue l’abnégation et le mérite de tous ceux qui ont cru à la présence de cette ressource au fond de nos océans et fait la promotion du bassin sédimentaire du Sénégal. J’exprime également ma fierté après avoir vu à l'œuvre de brillants jeunes Sénégalais-es déployer leur savoir-faire au cœur de cette impressionnante plateforme.

Je réitère mon engagement et celui du gouvernement pour une gestion transparente et équitable de nos ressources naturelles, au bénéfice du peuple Sénégalais.
