2/3. 4 years on, this war’s toll is felt globally including in Africa, through food insecurity and the exploitation of youth. 🌍
We stand united for sovereignty, dignity, and the UN principles that protect us all. 🕊️

1/3. Last night, @EUinNamibia, Member States & partners marked the 4th anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇪🇺
The documentary Cuba & Alaska showed us that even in the darkest times, humanity and resilience prevail. We stand with Ukraine.

Today I spoke with H.E. President of Togo Faure Gnassingbé. I congratulated him on his appointment as the African Union’s Mediator to the conflict in eastern DRC and welcomed his leadership. We discussed how the 🇬🇧 can support African-led efforts towards a sustainable peace.

On the Chad-Sudan border this week, I saw how the UK is helping to deliver life-saving support to some of the world’s most vulnerable people.
I met women and children, whose lives are on hold because of the war in Sudan.
The UK will not let Sudan be forgotten.
