[Nelson Mandela Foundation @NelsonMandela]

The Nelson Mandela Foundation congratulates Navanethem Pillay on being awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law.

Pillay has spent decades advancing justice, accountability and the protection of human rights.

Her career includes defending those who stood against apartheid, serving as a judge at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Her recognition is a significant moment for South Africa and for the broader struggle for justice and human dignity. Her lifelong commitment to these principles reflects the values Nelson Mandela championed and the work that remains necessary to realise a more just world.

We congratulate Navi Pillay on this honour and recognise a lifetime of work in pursuit of justice.

Voice: Dr Naledi Pandor, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees

Talk about hypocrisy! These four "leaders" claim that only littoral states have any say over the Red Sea but on Nile use want downstream nations to have equal control. Ethiopia contributes most water to Nile and had Red Sea ports for millennia! Get real!

Today, 🇪🇹 celebrates a meaningful milestone in our journey to strengthen emergency preparedness and response: the formal classification of the Ethiopian Emergency Medical Team (EMT) as a WHO Type 1 Fixed Emergency Medical Team.

This achievement is the result of years of commitment, learning, collaboration, and the quiet dedication of many people working to ensure that, when emergencies happen, our health system is ready to respond.

It is also a recognition of the growing capacity of our health professionals and institutions, and of our shared determination to provide timely, quality care to people when they need it most.

But this is not the end of the journey. Classification gives us a strong foundation to build on. We will continue to sustain these standards, strengthen our national EMT, and expand emergency medical response capacity across the regions, bringing quality emergency care closer to communities.

My sincere appreciation goes to the Ethiopian Emergency Medical Team, the Ethiopian Public Health Institute, regional health institutions, our dedicated health professionals, and all government institutions and partners who have contributed to this achievement. I also acknowledge the WHO EMT Secretariat, the United Kingdom, and our development and technical partners for their continued support and collaboration throughout this journey.

Today, we celebrate more than a classification. We celebrate the people, partnerships, and perseverance behind it.

And we look ahead with renewed commitment to be better prepared, respond faster, and protect more lives when emergencies arise. 🇪🇹

#NEPAL: This is incredible. 1,643 children survived because one headmaster acted fast when disaster was already on the way.

He received a warning that a village upstream had been swept away by the river. He immediately rang the school bell and moved the children and teachers to higher ground.

School buses were on the way to school, He called the bus drivers and told them: "Don't come here. Go back."

One school bus was already on its way. The headmaster saw it approaching the bridge and told the driver to turn back. The bus reached safety just before the bridge collapsed.

Then the flood hit the school. The entire three-storey school was washed away. It completely vanished. Not even a trace was left behind.

But all 1,643 children survived.

47 year old Rajendra Dadabi a teacher who became a hero when it mattered most. One man's quick thinking saved 1,643 lives.

Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.

More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.

Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.

The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.

We are proud to have them on our team.

Since the start of the Marburg virus outbreak, the United States has stood firmly with Ethiopia as a committed friend and partner in the fight against this potentially deadly disease. On December 4, the United States government delivered Marburg vaccines to support the Ethiopian government’s protection of healthcare workers and communities.
Today, December 6, that partnership is demonstrated once again as we deliver monoclonal antibodies treatment, a promising cutting-edge treatment designed to support the recovery of individuals infected with Marburg virus.

It tears my heart to say that my father, Ngugi Wa Thiong'o passed away earlier today. I am me because of him in so many ways, as his child, scholar and writer. I love him - I am not sure what tomorrow will bring without him here. I think that is all I have to say for now.

Countries must continue to strengthen their health systems through incremental self-financing and gradual reduction of development aid. However, abrupt withdrawals of development funds can be counterproductive, jeopardizing hard-won gains in global health.

[Lia Tadesse @lia_tadesse]

Country leadership takes the lion share to achieve sustainable health financing, & universal health coverage. However, it is a responsibility of the global community to narrow the gaps. Transition from development assistance should be gradual & strategic. https://t.co/WPOT86SeMS

It was a pleasure to welcome my brother, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu @Chikwe_I, Acting Regional Director for Africa, WHO, @WHOAFRO, on his first visit to Nigeria in this capacity for strategic engagements on health security, outbreak preparedness, and the polio response.

Our discussions reinforced Nigeria’s deep and longstanding partnership with @WHO, particularly in strengthening health systems, accelerating polio eradication, and enhancing regional health security. We emphasized the importance of regulatory efficiency, cross-border collaboration, and intelligence-driven surveillance to prevent and respond to emerging health threats.

In line with President Tinubu’s @officialABAT, policy priorities for health under the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (#NHSRII), Nigeria remains fully committed to safeguarding public health, driving sustainable health investments, and positioning the country as a leader in Africa’s health security architecture.
