« Quand l’#Afrique de l’Ouest vacille, c’est l’#Europe qui va vaciller. »
La situation actuelle au Burkina Faso illustre l’échec du coup d’Etat de 2022. Depuis 4 ans, le pays s’isole de la communauté internationale, les libertés individuelles sont de plus en plus réduites, et il devient un sanctuaire pour le terrorisme islamiste en Afrique de l’Ouest.
Depuis février, près de 700 associations et ONG ont été suspendues ou dissoutes par la junte au pouvoir. Ce pays #francophone concentre à lui tout seul 1/4 des attentats terroristes dans le #Sahel.

Great news on the release of Andrzej Poczobut!
But another 2025 Sakharov Prize laureate, Mzia Amaglobeli, remains jailed by GD with no meaningful international access to see her.
@Europarl_EN has said clearly: there is no place for political prisoners in an EU candidate country
La guerre en Ukraine ne se limite pas à la ligne de front. Elle concerne les familles, les mères, les enfants, les épouses des combattants : ceux qui restent et ceux qui attendent.
J'organise le 22 avril au Parlement européen une conférence avec les associations familiales catholiques en Europe et l'Oeuvre d'Orient. Chaque jour, ils apportent un soutien moral aux soldats et à leurs proches, et un soutien logistique indispensable à la défense de l'Ukraine.
Trop souvent oubliés, ce sont eux qui tiennent la société quand tout s'effondre.
Quand tout vacille, la famille tient.

Next week, I will introduce the Georgian Nightmare Non-Recognition Act, which will prohibit U.S. recognition of the illegal dictatorial regime in Georgia and recognize @Zourabichvili_S as the only legitimate leader in Georgia until such a time as free and fair elections are held.
Statement from President Biden on Georgia |The White House: “Georgian citizens have a right to peacefully express their views regarding the conduct of these elections, which independent international and domestic observers have not said were free and fair” https://t.co/BV6xaTtmXw
This year's central theme in #WSF2024🇵🇱, #ThinkingEuropeAnew, provided a framework for rethinking Europe's position in a rapidly evolving global environment, needing a stronger European pillar within NATO. The victory of Ukraine represents a pivotal moment for freedom in Europe🇪🇺
Today, during the UEFA Nations League match between Georgia and Ukraine, supporters are rallying around the main slogan - “Strength is in unity.” This slogan stands as an integral part of Georgian identity, spirit and solidarity.
ძალა ერთობაშია 🇬🇪🇺🇦

“We were clear - we want 🇬🇪in our Family. We outlined what we expect from future member state, including respect for basic principles of 🇪🇺. We hope 🇬🇪 catches up on reforms needed for🇪🇺 path” – Ambassador Pawel Herczynski noted at Exclusive Lunch with Members of @EBAGeorgiaoffi1
The situation on @NATO’s Northern and Eastern Flank has held most of the recent focus of the West, with other - seemingly regional – conflicts fading into the background.
GLOBSEC Young Leaders will bring in crucial perspectives on the situation in NATO’s Southern Neighborhood, the Sahel Region and Central and Southeast Asia, as part of the discussions on their political, economic and social implications, and their indubitable relevance to the competing visions for a new global security architecture.

Assistance "that directly benefits the Government of Georgia,” as a result of the comprehensive review of bilateral cooperation between the U.S. and #Georgia
Blinken’s statement!
“On May 23, after anti-democratic actions by the Georgian government, I announced a comprehensive review of bilateral cooperation between the United States and Georgia. As a result of that review, the United States is pausing more than $95 million in assistance that directly benefits the Government of Georgia.
The Georgian government’s anti-democratic actions and false statements are incompatible with membership norms in the EU and NATO. While we are pausing our assistance to the Government of Georgia due to those actions, the United States will continue assistance to programs and activities that benefit the people of Georgia by strengthening democracy, rule of law, independent media, and economic development.
Over the 32 years of friendship and partnership between our two countries and our citizens, the people of the United States have provided over $6.2 billion in assistance, contributing to the development and strengthening of Georgia’s economy and democratic institutions. Our support has helped equip and train Georgia’s Defense Forces and Coast Guard, built schools and hospitals, and trained teachers, civil servants, and medical professionals. We will remain committed to the Georgian people and their Euro-Atlantic aspirations.”

I am announcing a new visa restriction policy for those responsible for undermining democracy in Georgia, including in connection with the Georgian Dream’s proposed “foreign influence” legislation.
