Happening now at @_AfricanUnion:
AU Member States & RECs begin discussions on developing Continental Guidelines on Missing Migrants
ICRC Head of Delegation to the AU, @tounkara_ibra, gave opening remarks highlighting the humanitarian impact on missing migrants & their families.
On 7 May 2025, we hosted a legal workshop on IHL & the Separated, Missing and Dead with UJ Law and SARChI. It trained LLM students to apply legal frameworks to real cases, building expertise to ensure dignity for the missing & dead in conflict. #IHL#HumanitarianLaw
Privileged to once again be part of the Regional Seminar on #IHL for Southern Africa and Indian Ocean Island States! This marks the 14th edition of the Seminar that I have participated in, and I remain impressed by the level of passion for and engagement on IHL in the region.
Never in my life have I seen a thing like this...

Emmanuel fell ill sometime in January, and something that looked like measles appeared on his body. He began treating measles, then malaria, and subsequently typhoid, before his condition deteriorated so rapidly & degenerated into a crocodile-looking skin, a decomposing body with a foul smell emanating from him. Both conventional and traditional medical interventions failed.
However, in the course of his initial treatments, Emmanuel had a first dream where a masquerade was being tied down in the midst of bones, and then a second dream where a chicken was killed and put in the midst of bones and skeletons. He then had a third dream where he was being literally choked in real life, snuffing life out of him, physically he felt the hand choking him.
The teen ministry of the Dunamis Church he attends visited him at home, as all hospitals had rejected him. At this point he was completely immobile, literally looking like a corpse with the offensive smell of his rotting flesh all over the room where he was lying. His skin was falling off and cracking to the point that his bones could be seen.
They were inspired to sing a song written and sung by God's servant @drpaulenenche, I SHALL NOT FEAR, I SHALL NOT DOUBT, COS IF GOD CAN RAISE THE DEAD, HE CAN HEAL THE LIVING; and they prayed for him afterwards, trusting God for a miracle.
The night of that same day 18/02/2024 at the Commanding The Day Midnight Prayers #CTDMP, God's servant @drpauleneche by word of knowledge made a brutal declaration that there was someone with a crocodile skin which was peeling, that there shall be divine intervention and wholeness. The following day he began to move his body gradually and requested food for the first time in days. Days later he began to walk. When members of the teen church visited him exactly a week later, he answered the door, walking up to the door by himself.
This miracle moved everyone to tears in church last night with us all on our knees praising and worshipping God for this miracle and unusual deliverance.
God's servant asked him afterwards what he would like to be, and he said he would like to be a doctor. On the spot, Dr. Paul Enenche personally gave him an automatic full scholarship to study medicine at the university, either in Nigeria or the United States.
What a mighty God we serve.

Happy Human Rights Day South Africa!!!
As an organization built on the principle of humanity, we join you in commemorating this very important day in the history of your country.
till I got a debit alert of R166 for a trip that should cost me R35. This man drove all the way to Pretoria before he ended the trip . I hope @Boltapp_za will do the proper thing by refunding my money within 7 days as promised by their support staff
I think @Boltapp_za should conduct adequate and proper security checks on their drivers before granting them access to drive on bolt platform . So this driver did not end the trip after I alighted from his car in centurion . I did not realize that the trip was still on going

4 things the rules of war state about civilians:
1. Civilians cannot be targeted.
2. Civilians cannot be used as human shields.
3. Civilians must have safe passage to flee.
4. Humanitarian organizations must have access to deliver aid to civilians.
Gravely concerned for the safety of communities #Ukraine.
Our message to the parties to the conflict is clear: uphold IHL, protect civilians and essential services.
@ICRC teams are responding to urgent humanitarian needs and they must be able to continue their life-saving work.
