If you want to make the world a better place go home and love your family. You can love the whole world but if you don't show that love to family , it ain't worth it . The biggest investment is your family. @RevDskumar1 @Dr_ANNE_AKELLO @friends_rwanda @FSSE_uk @EFC_MidAmerica

I Wonder why the @USA removed their soldiers from @Afghanistan leaving the country in the hands of Talibans after 20 years of unceasing fierce war. And now the @USA have decided to enter the @DR.Congo to fight ADF. @TV5MONDEAfrique @7sur7_cd @actualitecd @AFP_Afrique @rpd_mi

⏪ 📅 Friday, July 9 was the International Small Arms Destruction Day! Effective controls throughout the lifecycle of arms, including strong stockpile management and transparent transfers of weapons, enable the #ArmsTreaty & other arms control regimes to #ReduceHumanSuffering.

On @RadioUrumuri of Belgium, @sinzinkayo_jean, on this 9th July dedicated to the destruction of weapons, asks States that these weapons be transformed into other useful tools in order to be able to recover the money spent during the purchase of these weapons. @IANSAnetwork

Uganda is in total lockdown due to COVID-19 surge. Urban Refugees depending on daily earning are among the most affected groups because of this lockdown and need support. We call upon UNHCR and other concerned organisations to intervene in this matter.

When explosive weapons are used in towns and cities, nearly 9 out of 10 people injured and killed are civilians. In his latest report, @antonioguterres calls on all parties to conflict to avoid the use of explosive weapons with wide-area effects in populated areas.
