We stand with the people of Venezuela & are ready to support early recovery efforts – for and with the people.
Aid cuts are forcing many women's organizations in humanitarian settings to reduce or suspend life-saving services, new @UN_Women report shows.
At least 1 million women and girls have lost access to critical support since January 2025. The consequences extend far beyond humanitarian response. The dismantling of women’s organizations is not happening in a vacuum but against a global backlash on the rights of women and girls. https://t.co/INbODwb09Q

Chairperson of the African Union Commission Marks African Anti-Corruption Day 2026.
On the occasion of the 2026 African Anti-Corruption Day, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission reaffirmed the Commission's unwavering commitment to advancing integrity, transparency and accountability as indispensable pillars for achieving Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want.
Recalling the words of former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, "If corruption is a disease, integrity and transparency are the essential remedies for the rebirth of our continent," the Chairperson underscored that the fight against corruption is central to Africa's development, peace, security and social justice.
The Chairperson @ymahmoudali noted that the 2026 theme, "Scaling up the Promotion of Integrity and Anti-Corruption Actions Across Africa," reflects the African Union's vision of democratic governance founded on shared values. He stressed that continental integration requires trust among Member States, and that such trust can only be sustained through integrity, transparency and robust systems of accountability.
H.E. Mr Youssouf commended the African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption (AUABC) for its continued leadership in promoting and implementing the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption (AUCPCC). He emphasized, however, that legal and institutional frameworks alone are insufficient and called for a broader cultural transformation that embeds ethics, integrity and accountability across African societies.
Reaffirming the African Union Commission's support for Member States, the Chairperson encouraged the adoption and implementation of national integrity and ethics strategies, while calling for stronger multilateral cooperation to accelerate asset recovery and harmonize anti-corruption efforts across the continent.
The Chairperson reiterated that combating corruption remains a strategic priority for the African Union. He pledged the Commission's continued support for the work of the AUABC and called upon governments, institutions, civil society, the private sector and citizens to work collectively in promoting integrity and strengthening anti-corruption actions.
"The promotion of integrity and the fight against corruption are a shared continental responsibility. By scaling up our collective efforts, we can safeguard Africa's resources, strengthen public trust and accelerate the realization of Agenda 2063 for the benefit of present and future generations," the Chairperson said.

A major landslide struck a Rohingya refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh in an area with a mosque. Children were inside at the time of the incident.
The situation remains dire, every day brings more rain. More rain brings more risks.
Remembering the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica means confronting hate speech & discrimination, and renewing our resolve to make “never again” a reality for all.
On this solemn day, let us remember the victims, listen to the survivors, and take action to advance justice, reconciliation & peace.
Safe drinking water is a human right.
But for 1 in 4 women and girls, that right remains out of reach.
