@InterpeaceTweets and @NCIC_Kenya have been actively engaged in ongoing mediation initiatives, that led to two ceasefire agreements between majority clans in #Mandera County and communities in the North Rift's Suguta Valley in #Kenya back in 2016 and 2021.

Peace is not a given. Peacebuilding is hard work. Great to continue 🇩🇪support for @InterpeaceTweet. Their community focused programmes in 8 counties in Northern 🇰🇪 achieved a lot and will do more. Today we signed 2nd project phase. Thx @AA_stabilisiert and partners in the field!

Today, we officially launched our Marsabit County Peacebuilding Programme & opened the new Marsabit County Peace and Cohesion Centre in collaboration with @NCIC_Kenya.

In #Kenya, our work has focused on peacebuilding at the community level in the north-eastern part of the country and more recently, the North Rift Region. Read about our collaborative peacebuilding work with @NCIC_Kenya during the August elections. https://t.co/5l0PQpNohS

How misinformation and fake news have been used to undermine Kenya’s 2022 general elections.

And the problematic consequences for national unity and future elections.

Insightful podcast on current political situation in Kenya following the recently concluded general elections 👇

[Crisis Group @CrisisGroup]

🎧 Where might Kenya’s democracy be headed if William Ruto’s presidency is confirmed by the Supreme Court?

[Murithi Mutiga @mutigam]

Russia cheekily congratulates William Ruto, the declared victor in the recent Kenyan election, knowing that Western governments (rightly) are likely to hold back until court challenges are settled.

[Oliver Unverdorben @OUnverdorben]

Excited to share @InterpeaceTweet's latest Annual Report, highlighting our achievements both on the ground & at the policy level. It addresses the need for inclusion & adaptability to foster new approaches that build peace in such difficult times.

[Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF]

The current political stalemate in is damaging the confidence of the #EU in the progress of #Somalia. Urgent need to resolve the political deadlock that threatens Somalia’s future and conduct elections as soon as possible. #AUEU

Somalia and Kenya still have a road to neighbourly cooperation.

My piece for @AJEnglish that sheds light on the diplomatic tiff between #Somalia & #Kenya, contentious issues, and prospects for resolving the dispute and good neighbourliness.

[GermanyinSomalia @GermanyinSOM]

Insightful mission with @EU_in_Somalia & @SwissEmbassyKE to assess @FAOSomalia's #DesertLocusts 🦗 operations. Situation remains concerning & threatens livelihoods of communities already facing high levels of food insecurity. Control operations remain necessary in 2021.

[Oliver Unverdorben @OUnverdorben]

Great to finally be able to go on field visits again, very interesting trip to #Awdal region. Desert locusts and below avarage rainfalls continue to threaten livelihoods of local communities.

[GermanyinSomalia @GermanyinSOM]

We went to #Awdal region to better understand the needs of local communities affected by climate change & visit humanitarian interventions by our partners @Welthungerhilfe, @Concern, @HI_Advocacy & @VWB_VSF. Thanks to the consortium for the essential work & insightful few days!

Inaccessible health care, and lack of sanitation & clean water are posing new threats to the health & survival of indigenous peoples during the #coronavirus pandemic.

@UNDESA calls for inclusion of indigenous communities in #COVID19 response. https://t.co/Wk0cq34A8q

[Oliver Unverdorben @OUnverdorben]

#Somalia is facing a triple threat: the second highest number of #COVID19 cases in the Horn, the biggest #desertlocust invasion since 25 years & large-scale floods affecting more than 600.000.

[OCHA Somalia @OCHASom]

With 1,089 cases and 52 deaths as of 12 May, #Somalia now has the second-highest #COVID-19 cases in the Horn of Africa. Read in @OchaSom’s latest COVID-19 Update how partners are scaling up responses to this new strain on Somalia’s health sector. Link: https://t.co/K38aRBe4h0
