The beginning ...

[Commission européenne 🇪🇺 @UEFrance]

"L'Europe 🇪🇺 n'a pas été faite, nous avons eu la guerre".

Il y a 76 ans, Robert Schuman prononçait la déclaration historique du 9 mai, qui allait transformer à jamais le cours de l'histoire européenne ↓

[Lothar Jaschke @AugustLothar]

Robert Schumann started a silent revolution on 9 May 1950.

Its result is unprecendeted peace and integration between 27 countries in Europe, awarded by the Nobel Price for peace.

The EU seeks to promote peace and strengthen int'l security in accordance with the UN Charter.

[EU in South Sudan @EUinSouthSudan]

Today is #EuropeDay, marking the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, which has fostered peace among EU countries since World War II and paved the way for the European Union—the only supranational organization in the world that shares sovereignty. #HappyEuropeDay

[Lothar Jaschke @AugustLothar]

The peace agreement can not be amended unilaterally and without a 2/3 majority of its Members. Important clarification.

[RJMEC South Sudan @RJMECsouthsudan]

@RJMECsouthsudan presents Quarterly Report to RTNLA, clarifies Amendment Procedures for the R-Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (ARCSS) and Transitional Constitution of the Republic of South Sudan (TCRSS), 2011 (as Amended)

[Lothar Jaschke @AugustLothar]

Please read this call for dialogue and immediate ceasefire. Violence leads to nothing but death and destruction and risks the great future that South Sudan can have with its potential and assets.

Joint statement on the situation in northern Jonglei

[Lothar Jaschke @AugustLothar]

Humanity lost a champion and a servant of peace. A light in a world where the UN Charter is violated and under attack by big powers.

As a leader Haysom empowered and supported, never imposed or micromanaged. As a person he treated each with respect and dignity.

#IWD is badly needed to highlight inequalities and gender based violence. There should be more women in leading positions, in particular in the Government and Parliament.

[EU in South Sudan @EUinSouthSudan]

Thank you Hon U-S Esther and Hon Minister Nuna Rhoda for today's #IWD celebration. Acting on gender eqality, women's rights, #WPS and #GBV is our common agenda. Every day !

The EU was, is and will be a strong partner for South Sudan for this agenda.

[Lothar Jaschke @AugustLothar]

Having achieved his mandat I pay tribute to Lt General Mohan Subramanian, Force Commander of @UNMISS, a great and humble man who worked hard for the UN and the South Sudanese people. E.g. Dykes built and maintained around Bentiu saved and save the lives of tens of thousand.

[Lothar Jaschke @AugustLothar]

The launch of the Disability Resource Center in Juba is a step towards equality of opportunities and an encouragement for other institutions to do likewise.

The way a society deals with its minorities - with fairness or indifference - will determine its cohesion and strength.

[EU in South Sudan @EUinSouthSudan]

Are you a human rights defender, who is ready for a fellowship in June? There are 14 places available on the 2026 #SakharovFellowship. The deadline for applications is 15 February. You can find more information via the link here: https://t.co/MJRMfdU7YZ

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

The decision by the U.S. to impose travel restrictions on European citizens and officials is unacceptable and an attempt to challenge our sovereignty.

Europe will keep defending its values — freedom of expression, fair digital rules, and the right to regulate our own space.

[Lothar Jaschke @AugustLothar]

The National Conference on Social Cohesion and Hate Speech ended today. Hate speech undermines our scieties and leads to deadly violence. We need to work with law enforcement & tech companies and support victims. It starts with ourselves: Think before you speak.

[Lothar Jaschke @AugustLothar]

I was glad to be part of the dignified comemoration, by the Bangladeshi Engineers in Juba, of #Bangladeshvictoryday, 16 December. Thank you and happy V-day Bangladesh !

Our special thoughts go the troops, heniously killed and wounded in Kadugli, Sudan. May they rest in peace.

[EU in South Sudan @EUinSouthSudan]

It was an honour to present the best #peace film of the year, #ThePlightoftheNomad. We couldn't be prouder of our support to the creative industry through the #JubaFilmFestival. Filmmakers, soldier on. Congrats to the winners in each category. Well done! https://t.co/IpiRDmo9TW

[Lothar Jaschke @AugustLothar]

@HumanRightsDay is an occasion to underline that "all are born equal and free in dignity and rights" - and the need to stand for that everyday, in today's brutal world. HR are universal, applicable everytime and everywhere. Huge thanks to all for making the HRD a reality!

[EU in South Sudan @EUinSouthSudan]

Following from the first G-20 Summit in (South) Africa, long live our partnership ! #AUEU.

[EU in South Sudan @EUinSouthSudan]

The #AUEU Summit is almost here, taking place in Luanda, Angola, from the 24th to the 25th. The #AUEU partnership is built on trust, action and results. Together, we are building sustainable cities that celebrate people and culture. @eudiplomacy #AUEU25

What a joyful and beautiful occasion to hear the word of God (Luke 21) from the Archbishop His Grace Seamus Horgan at the World Food Programme and what a great way to thank and wish the best for Mary Ellen McGroarty, the WFP's excellent country director.

[Lothar Jaschke @AugustLothar]

It was great to speak at the workshop, organised by @MaxPlanckFoundation. Important to keep the momentum in the constitution making process. South Sudan needs a constitution that unites the country and builds an enduring social contract. Now more than ever.
