Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy 2026!
With the birth of my little one, 2025 will always remain a special year for me. May every year be as special as this one for all of us. May there be love and light in your lives.

Looking into concerning forced evictions of land & houses in Rashk village, Bamiyan, #Afghanistan. I urge a peaceful and fair solution. Taliban must adhere to int'l standards, incl. fair trial, notice period, genuine consultations, compensation: displacement is never acceptable!
My heart goes out to people of #Afghanistan displaced in #Pakistan. They are ordered to leave cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Yet again they are in search of another town and another home. Sad that this is happening during #Ramadan, one Muslim expelling the other.

Israel’s decision to halt aid into Gaza is alarming.
International humanitarian law is clear: We must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid.
We can’t roll back the progress of the past 42 days. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.
The ceasefire must hold.
Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslims. May all your good intentions and prayers be accepted. May the aggressors of all sizes find paths towards peace and harmony!

Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, is going after USAID, which feeds the poorest people in the world.
Next, he’ll go after the programs that impact you: Medicaid, Medicare, community health centers, Pell Grants, affordable housing.
We can stop him.
For His Highness The Aga Khan IV, pluralism means embracing differences. His belief that diversity strengthens society has guided AKF since our establishment in 1967.
We are committed to carrying this legacy forward as we build a future where we all thrive together.
❗Afghanistan: The Taliban have arbitrarily arrested and imprisoned journalist Mahdi Ansari since 5 October 2024 solely for peacefully exercising his human rights. He has been denied fair trial, access to a lawyer and regular family visit.
Mahdi Ansari must be immediately and unconditionally released. #FreeAnsari #Endcrackdownondissent

I am deeply saddened by the news that His Highness Prince Karim Al-Hussaini, Aga Khan IV, has passed away. He was a symbol of peace, tolerance and compassion in our troubled world.
I express my deepest condolences to His Highness’s family and the Ismaili community.

Happy 2025!
The sounds of fireworks and ambulances no longer scare me as they once did. Perhaps it's because, in my lifetime, I’ve now lived in peace more than in conflict.
I wish and pray that more and more people around the world experience true peace in #2025.
Many European countries, including the UK, are rushing to suspend all pending asylum requests from Syrians. It is far too soon to assume that Syria has suddenly become a safe haven for its people. The sense of liberation felt is simply an expression of hope. #Syria#refugees
Yesterday's killing of at least 10 #Sufi muslims in a mosque in Nahrin #Baghlan#Afghanistan is deplorable. My condolences to the families. Religious minorities remain under grave threat. All Afghans have the right to worship in peace. More prevention, protection & justice needed
In Afghanistan, one thing remains constant, the targeted killing of Hazaras. No matter what regime and affiliated to what ideology.

It has now been three years and over 1,095 days girls without access to education, women with restricted rights to be a human, minorities exposed to persecutions, no space for civil society to exist, and people of #Afghanistan without voice, and stranded across borders.
What is 'Irregular Migration'?🤔
This #RefugeeWeek we asked Dr @DX_Fisher to talk us through some of the terminology we hear around refugee and asylum policy.
Later we'll be bringing you a special episode of our Spotlight election podcast with Dan and guests for Refugee Week.
