[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

If Brexit ends up being forced through on the basis of a deal no one supports - indeed a deal so bad that the PM has to promise to resign to get it through - it will make an already bad project even worse.

[Janie Armitage @janiearmitage]

Another great example of how @BPST_A is working with #UKCSSF and our partners @amisomsomalia @UNSomalia @EUNAVFOR to train and build the skills of peacekeepers in Africa

[UK in Somalia🇬🇧🇸🇴 @UKinSomalia]

The UK, through @BPST_A and EU, is supporting a three-day maritime training provided to Somali and AMISOM marines to enable them to increase security along the Mogadishu coastline

It doesn't matter where you are from, the #Marksmanship principles when applied are infalable! Here's 2 Warrant Officers from #ZDF that we wouldn't want to be on the recieving end of, must be the mentors 😎 #BritishArmy, #UKCSSF #UKinZambia #Zambia @UN
@UNPeacekeeping @UN_CAR

[Janie Armitage @janiearmitage]

Have spent this week with ZDF and been impressed with their committment to the WPS agenda in @UN_CAR. FETs are an example of how women's participation is essential to ensure the success of peacekeeping #wps @BPST_A @UNPeacekeeping #UKCSSF

[UN Peacekeeping @UNPeacekeeping]

Esther Sakala from #Zambia serves in @UN_CAR. Her female engagement team is part of a “new approach” to bridging the gap in assisting vulnerable populations such as women & girls. #IWD2019 Watch & see them in action 📺https://t.co/qVg8glIrZh

@MarcoJowell Interesting so far...look forward to discussing when you arrive in Addis

[Janie Armitage @janiearmitage]

Looking forward to reading @MarcoJowell monograph, via kindle as couldn't wait weeks for hard copy to arrive. Interesting insights into my current work from an under researched aspect of PSO

[Marco Jowell @MarcoJowell]

Delighted to have my book on the military, peacekeeping and peacekeeping training arrive today.

[Janie Armitage @janiearmitage]

Proud sister of a RM...congratulations.to the new members of #Commando Club

80 mins later ... Syndicate 1 from 260 Troop crosses the bridge, receives a sweaty salute from me and joins the Commando club forever!

We spend our day walking in his footsteps...literally! Spent this week having meetings in these Tukuls

[UK in Ethiopia 🇬🇧 @UKinEthiopia]

The first British Agent, Captain John Lane Harrington, arrived in Addis Ababa in the early months of 1898. In 1901, Harrington started to build a regular house consisting of 8 tukuls connected by passages.

The UK wishes all in #Ethiopia a happy International #DayoftheGirl – this is their time!

The UK is supporting girls in Ethiopian schools through @DFID_UK and @BritishCouncil – let’s ensure every girl receives 12 years of quality education #LeaveNoGirlBehind #DayoftheGirl

[Janie Armitage @janiearmitage]

Proud to have been in the room when these were adopted at #UNGA70...prouder still to have been sat next to Ambassador @martin_shearman who led the team that negotiated @GlobalGoalsUN on behalf of the UK @MattJacksonUK @floneritchle @elledodd @AaronMHoltz

[Global Goals @GlobalGoalsUN]

2018 marks the 3rd anniversary of the #GlobalGoals! We can be the 1st generation to end extreme poverty, the decisive generation in the battle against climate change & the most determined generation to fight injustice & inequality. But there’s much work to do & every year counts!

[Janie Armitage @janiearmitage]

@MiriamShearman jealous! Wish #diplodog would visit us here! Currently have #chancerymouse causing havoc in @UKinEthiopia causing stress not alleviating it!

[Janie Armitage @janiearmitage]

In this month of the anniversary of UNSCR1325 women's participation in peace processes is more important than ever to secure a lasting peace

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Peace processes in which women participate meaningfully are 35% more likely to be sustainable. In line with this, I recently appointed three women to senior mediation roles, and have emphasized the need for all UN envoys to lead inclusive processes. https://t.co/g2XawZ1MPs

[Janie Armitage @janiearmitage]

Highest level support for the fantastic work across Africa that @BPST_A do to support @UKCSSF and @DefenceHQ objectives in PSO

[British Peace Support Team (Africa) @BPST_A]

An honour to welcome the @ArmyCGS to @BPST_A where he enjoyed lunch and received briefings from the team. He then visited @ipstc to address the Regional Senior Mission Leaders course providing the security context and reiterating @GOVUK's ongoing commitment to the region.
