Communiqué on the Situation in #Venezuela.
The African Union is following with grave concern the recent developments in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, including reports of the abduction of the President of the Republic, Mr. Nicolás Maduro, and military attacks on Venezuelan institutions.
The African Union reaffirms its steadfast commitment to the fundamental principles of international law, including respect for the sovereignty of States, their territorial integrity, and the right of peoples to self-determination, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.
The African Union underscores the importance of dialogue, peaceful settlement of disputes, and respect for constitutional and institutional frameworks, in a spirit of good neighbourliness, cooperation, and peaceful coexistence among nations.
The African Union emphasizes that the complex internal challenges facing Venezuela can only be sustainably addressed through inclusive political dialogue among Venezuelans themselves.
The African Union expresses its solidarity with the Venezuelan people and reiterates its commitment to the promotion of peace, stability, and mutual respect among nations and regions.
The African Union calls upon all parties concerned to exercise restraint, responsibility, and respect for international law to prevent any escalation and to preserve regional peace and stability.

When Kenyans overwhelmingly adopted the 2010 Constitution, they made a deliberate choice to anchor our nation on values long withheld from many of our people - human dignity, equity, social justice, inclusiveness, equality, human rights, non-discrimination, and protection of the marginalised. They declared in both the Preamble and in Article 19(2) of the Bill of Rights that the purpose of governance is “to preserve the dignity of individuals and communities” and in Article 28 affirmed that every person “has inherent dignity and the right to have that dignity respected and protected.” These words express a promise: that no Kenyan - man, woman, or child - will ever again be subjected to the systemic indignities that marked our past-Chief Justice Martha Koome

"In policy and politics, we make decisions about how we want to live together. GCE equips people to be part of that decision, it also makes you think about who is in the room, what are the values that inform these decisions". – Senator Alice Mary Higgins. #IDEAVision2030
MASHUJAA DAY
‘For greatness and nobility are never achieved by settling for the ordinary or the comfortable. They are seized by those who dare to push the frontiers of possibility; by those who refuse to be confined by what is, but instead reach boldly for what could be.’ ~ William Ruto, President
