Turvallisuusympäristömme on muuttunut pysyvästi. Siksi pitkän harkinnan ja pohdinnan jälkeen olen päätynyt kannattamaan Nato-jäsenyyttä. Näen, että jäsenyys ja sen tuomat turvatakuut olisivat paras rauhan tae Suomelle. https://t.co/oqghcntvEV

The world needs more leaders like @missyHaroona — a true peacemaker.

[Rashid Abdi @RAbdiAnalyst]

A young female leader from Northeastern shines with her oratory, empathetic politics and sincere attempt to bring peace, end Somali-Kamba feud in Garissa/Kitui counties.

Respect to Ummul Kheir Harun for a delightful speech.

I have always known women to be better at mediating and bringing peace between warring communities.

Good to see Ms Harun follow the footsteps of Deeqa, the late activist from Wajir who helped end inter-communal wars.

[Roberta Metsola @EP_President]

This is Europe at its best 🇪🇺🇫🇮

Thank you for your service to our Europe.

The Chairperson of the AU Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, today received H.E. @Haavisto, Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for #Sudan. He congratulated him on his appointment & reaffirmed the AU’s readiness to work closely with the UN in advancing a coordinated response.

The Chairperson @ymahmoudali underscored the AU’s sustained engagement in Sudan, emphasising that any political process must be Sudanese-owned & inclusive. Mr. Haavisto commended the AU’s leadership in mediation efforts & pledged full cooperation.

They both stressed the urgency of an immediate ceasefire as a pathway to a credible political process, & the importance of aligning all mediation initiatives under AU leadership. They called on the parties to de-escalate & engage in constructive, inclusive dialogue that will pave the way for the return to constitutional order, & expressed hope that the forthcoming Berlin conference will yield practical & tangible outcomes.

Konsulipalvelulain 16 §: ”Jos henkilökohtaisen turvallisuuden suojaaminen edellyttää, edustusto voi avustaa evakuoinnin järjestämisessä kriisialueelta lähimmälle turvalliselle alueelle tai kotimaahan”. @FinlandinQatar toteutti tänään näistä edellisen yhdessä 🇸🇪 kanssa.

.@volker_turk alarmed by U.S. intervention in Venezuela.
We urge everyone to exercise restraint and fully respect the UN Charter and international human rights law.
The protection of people in Venezuela is paramount and must guide any further action.

Met Ahmed Dheere yesterday in a supermarket in Hargeisa — a former Somali Air Force officer who refused orders to bomb civilians during the 1988 Somaliland bombings.

From a conflict resolution perspective, the past cannot be healed by denial.

Peace begins with acknowledgment.

Trump says he'll try to mediate the devastating conflict in Sudan. He should begin by pressing the United Arab Emirates to stop arming the Rapid Support Forces militia as it commits genocide in Darfur. https://t.co/lEfDz3407o

EU announces sanctions against deputy commander of RSF militia in Sudan, accusing paramilitary group of committing widespread atrocities in Darfur and the Kordofan regions

[EU Council @EUCouncil]

The EU condemns in the strongest terms the grave and ongoing atrocities in Sudan.

Deliberate targeting of civilians, ethnically motivated killings, systematic sexual and gender-based violence, starvation and denying access to humanitarian aid are breaches of international law ⤵️

[U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs @US_SrAdvisorAF]

As @POTUS declared today, the United States is committed to ending the horrific conflict in Sudan. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are working with our partners to facilitate a humanitarian truce and bring an end to external military support to the parties, which is fueling the violence. With peace and stability, the Sudanese people can return to civilian-led governance in a unified Sudan. @POTUS wants peace, and with @SecRubio, we are acting now.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Marco Rubio on Sudan:

The RSF don’t have manufacturing capabilities.

Someone’s giving them the money and someone’s giving them the weapon, and it’s coming through some country.

We know who they are and we’re going to talk to them about it and make them understand it’s going to reflect poorly on them.

I am horrified by the ongoing atrocities we are witnessing in Sudan.

As ever, it's the poorest people in the poorest places that suffer the most.
