The final day of the Lusaka Dialogue showcased the prospects of the #RESTGLR in promoting resilience and improving livelihoods for communities across the Lobito corridor. The discussions heavily centred around governance, infrastructure, digitalization and security as key.

Tomorrow, the 3rd Community Ground-Truthing Dialogue launches in Lusaka. The event brings together cross-border communities, women traders, and youth entrepreneurs to unlock the economic power of the strategic Lobito–Great Lakes Corridor spanning Angola, the DRC, and Zambia.

At the opening of the Lusaka dialogue @ZeynuUmmer emphasizes that the true success of the Zambia-DRC corridor relies on linking major trade routes to borderland communities—transforming investments into sustainable jobs, skills, and value chains for youth and MSMEs. #RESTGLR

From long‑delayed cases finally heard, to swift sentencing in Sherikat through the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Mobile Court funded by @NLinSouthSudan - (https://t.co/tmKktPBCqI)

Justice is being served, but many women and girls are still waiting.

As we mark this year’s International Women’s Day, we are reminded that progress means ensuring that survivor’s voices are heard, their rights are upheld, and justice is delivered without delay.

In my career, I have never seen such a gulf between Western countries and the Arab world. The alienation is more structural than our many past breakups, over Palestine, or Iraq, or Iran.

This estrangement has many facets. Counterintuitively, aid & development programs are one 🧵
