If you read Danish you will find a little historical background and my analysis of the recent Africa-France summit in the Danish Review 'Ræson': https://t.co/qsBDiUl44P

For those who read Danish and take interest in the development in #Sahel you will find my short analysis of the development in Mali in Globalnyt: https://t.co/ztpdojjKl9

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

The perception of democracy, national elections and legitimacy in Africa is changing. I am describing this in "Globalnyt" (in Danish) and also trying to see how we need to adapt to this: https://t.co/Un28i75G6M

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

For those who read Danish a short analysis of the latest event involving US in Northern Nigeria and the all pervasive talk about sovereignty !!!! https://t.co/xOvDfxx8Vx

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

Let us hope that this will bring more attention to the resolution of the conflict in Eastern Congo! #Dkaid

[Denmark in UN NY🇩🇰 @Denmark_UN]

Denmark warmly welcomes Bahrain 🇧🇭, Colombia 🇨🇴, DR Congo 🇨🇩, Latvia 🇱🇻 and Liberia 🇱🇷 to the #UNSC on the occasion of the annual flag installation ceremony.

We look forward to constructive collaboration in advancing international peace and security 🕊️

Côte d'Ivoire was an economic miracle in the 60'ies & again over the last years built on cocoa and modernisation, only that political transition needs reflection and preparation: For Danish readers; find an introduction to Saturday's presidential election: https://t.co/Zq9uLPYRAc

#Chad is at the centre of #Sahel and simultaneously links to the Central Africa region facing a serious humanitarian challenge. To better understand the impact of displacement and migratory challenges ChadRedCross this week received @danskrodekors for a working mission #Dkaid

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

The RedCrossRedCrescent has lost one of its most respected and and strong leaders: President Ali Bandiaré of Niger Red Cross. Pr. Bandiaré opened doors for Danish Authorities and @danskrodekors in understanding #Sahel. A man of honour & integrity, who cannot be replaced #Dkaid

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

So if you should like to know, why it is not a good idea to close the Danish Embassies in the Sahel and if you can read Scandinavian, then I am trying to explain this in the attached article https://t.co/3jnEgXN7h8

Who knows #Malawi? Not many! @danskrodekors has a 40 years' old partnership with @MalawiRedCross. Despite financial constraints and thanks to the #Icelandic Embassy and long term fundraising in cooperation with #IFRC, #FAO, #WFP, #UNICEF, #UNDP and NGO's the cooperation continues

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

It was a pleasure having Danish Red Cross country manager in Kenya, Dorothy Nkonge describe the partnership Kenya Red Cross-Danish Red Cross supported & partnering with Novo Nordisk Foundation at the opening of its first regional Africa Office in Nairobi. #Dkaid

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

Danish Red Cross has a strong cooperation with Mali & Niger Red Cross. In Burkina Faso our delegate Sansan provides psychosocial capacity building through Belgian Red Cross with Burkina Faso Red Cross colleagues. We will work hard to increase this support in #Sahel #DKaid

Notre SG @Nouhoumtacharan
a brossé le contexte humanitaire du Mali et les difficultés liées à la mise en oeuvre du Nexus HDP, la décolonisation de l'aide humanitaire, la localisation, lors de la conférence organisée par la @Banquemondiale, ANALP et la @ifrc

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) is a humanitarian response to displacement caused mainly by conflict and funded by #ECHO and #USAID in Mali. @CroixRougeMali yesterday shared lessons learnt on alert with humanitarian partners in Sikasso in collaboration with @danskrodekors #Dkaid

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

In Mali @danskrodekors is extremely happy & satisfied with this cooperation working with @CroixRougeMali, @CICR_Mali and @IFRCAfrica. Next step has started and will support the government in developing its mental health strategy. #Dkaid

[Anders Ladekarl @AndersLadekarl]

A memorable day. @danskrodekors, @IFRC and @ICRC, have agreed to set up a Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Hub for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support based out of Copenhagen. A landmark in the collaboration between all components of the Movements. Proud of all colleagues that made it happen. #dkaid

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

4 days' workshop for the institutional reinforcement of @CroixRougeMali branch of Gao guided by the branch President together with @CICR_Mali and @IFRCAfrica technical support to ensure strong local development, participation & impact of projects funded by partners and #DKaid!

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

The living conditions in Northern Mali are really bad for one simple reason: INSECURITY, which prevents the local population from herding and growing their land. Every step that @CroixRougeMali can take to provide immediate relief, @danskrodekors is happy to assist! #dkaid

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

Despite logistical challenges it was a pleasure ending 2023 by evaluating 3 years of cooperation amongst @CroixRougeMali, @CICR_Mali and @danskrodekors in the northern branch of #Gao and agree to extend and intensify the activities in 2024. #dkaid

[Frode Kirk @frode_kirk]

Exchange between @CroixRougeMali & @crniger on protection & community cohesion in times of displacement before next 2 years funded by #Danish & #Belgian Governments. The health effects & impoverishment of the populations espec. in Niger due to sanctions were not foreseen #Dkaid.
