Grateful to the @StateDept for their trust and funding to IOM’s Ebola response.
With their rapid support for global health security, IOM is scaling up health screening, surveillance and preparedness at critical borders and regional Points of Entry. https://t.co/Y6K7owYd1v
The internet never forgets. Watch this 2021 video carefully. Fuel hit around KSh150 and Murkomen, the Bomet Senator and others now in UDA government were shouting daily and attacking Uhuru. Today fuel is at KSh242. Same people. Different silence. What changed?
I’ve spent this week in South Africa listening to ministers, communities and people on the move.
The pressures here are real. So is the leadership.
South Africa is building smarter borders, fairer labor pathways, digital systems that work.
Migration governed well benefits all.
Watch how IOM, in partnership with 🇰🇪 🇹🇿 🇺🇬 & @StateINL, is protecting Lake Victoria and global communities from transnational threats through a capacity building - a regional simulation exercise and empowering communities on trust building & info sharing.
Southern Africa is taking the lead on inclusive migration governance. Today, technical teams are meeting ahead of the MIDSA ministerial to shape regional frameworks aligned with Agenda 2063, the Global Compact for Migration and SADC Migration Policy Framework.
Migration affects us all, whether for work, education, or escaping disasters.
#MIDSA is where @SADC_News unites to protect rights, improve borders, create opportunities & make migration work for everyone.
Here's what you need to know about this important migration dialogue.
What is the Migration Dialogue for Southern Africa (MIDSA)?
Here are 5 key facts about MIDSA, currently taking place in Victoria Falls, where SADC Member States, migration experts, and partners are shaping actions for safe, orderly, and regular migration across the region.
#Gaza cannot wait.
No safe shelter. Limited water, food and medicine. Famine declared. Suffering growing worse each day.
We have the supplies. All we need is access.
Let aid in. End the hostilities.
At least 56 people have lost their lives and 132 missing after a vessel carrying 200 migrants capsized off the coast of #Yemen.
This incident highlights the urgent need for stronger international and regional cooperation to prevent further loss of life.

To #EndHumanTrafficking means ending impunity.
@IOMBurundi works with government institutions to strengthen the capacity of law enforcement and justice actors to identify trafficking cases, uphold the rule of law, and ensure survivors are protected throughout the legal process.
Smugglers are winning, not because people want to take dangerous journeys, but because governments haven’t created enough safe, legal options.
Migration will drive future growth. We need systems that meet labor demand and uphold dignity.
Thanks for the discussion @brentgofftv
Remittances reflect the determination, ambition, and belief migrant workers carry for themselves and their families.
Across East, Horn and Southern Africa, these contributions shape futures, uplift communities, and drive local economies.
Today, we honor their impact.
Cash transfers have the power to change lives. They empower communities and play a vital role in accelerating development. On this #FamilyRemittances Day, let’s recognize their impact on families and global development.
