Credentials presented. Partnership renewed. 🇬🇧🇸🇸
On 21 October, I presented my credentials as 🇬🇧 Ambassador to 🇸����. I look forward to strengthening our ties and working with the people of 🇸🇸 for peace, prosperity, and opportunity.
Alam was forced into marriage and auctioned by her own father and a political ally — a heartbreaking violation of her rights and dignity. This reflects the harsh reality many girls face in #SouthSudan, where poverty and conflict fuel #ChildMarriage and #ForcedMarriage.
Ambassador @Davidwillashley & colleagues were inspired to see how, with 🇬🇧 support, women & men in Gurie North are working to combat gender-based violence.
Delighted to collaborate with WOJE and UNICEF to #EndGBV and #EndChildMarriage in South Sudan.
Zabib & Women for Justice & Equality are doing critical work providing a safe space for women & survivors of #GBV & supporting community dialogue for lasting change. Pleased to join @Davidwillashley to hear directly from the community about the impact of @UKinSouthSudan support.
#UPDATE: MARTHA KARUA DEPORTED FROM TANZANIA
People’s Liberation Party (PLP) leader Martha Karua has confirmed her deportation from Tanzania, sharing on X, "Deportation complete! On board @KQSupport flight No 485 for Nairobi."
The Kenyan politician, along with human rights defenders and lawyers Lynn Ngugi and Gloria Kimani, was detained earlier at Julius Nyerere International Airport while en route to observe the court case of Tanzanian opposition leader Tundu Lissu, who is facing treason charges.
@Winnie_Byanyima@kizzabesigye1 It's so hurting the humiliation is too much for Dr. , it is only a coward that can do such out of fear. This enough to confirm that this government is scared of the chief opposition and want to run on a soft ground without him.
@fsnakazibwe When it comes to sexual violence we believe the survivor's first story, there is no way that hajji and his supporters can change this he is guilty. Many children are abused in the same way and their abusers are not held responsible.
The Joint Defence Board has proposed a budget of $33 million to complete the remaining tasks of the security arrangements, according to the Army Spokesperson - #SouthSudan#SSOX https://t.co/okKoZ96v0H
