Africa still has no permanent seat on the Security Council. A 21st century Security Council without permanent African representation is unjust & indefensible. We must reform the Council so that it reflects today’s world with the legitimacy and effectiveness that today’s challenges demand.

Great to be back in Botswana 🇧🇼 for a short spell as Chargé d’Affaires. I say “back” as I was posted here 1987-1991. The change in 34 years is incredible - a really vibrant city with a whole new CBD. Lots of nostalgia and happy memories. Pula! 🇬🇧🇧🇼 @UKinBotswana @FCDOGovUK

Thank you so much, dear Honourable, for your warmth and engagement over the past four years. (And indeed for alerting me to the arrival of @TheRealLukevans in the Land of the Brave!) 🇬🇧🇳🇦
Dear Charles, You were such a wonderful colleague to have. You represented your country but became Namibian (at heart) in the process. Thank you for adding value to the relations between Namibia and the UK. And just know that I will reach out to you wherever you go!

So I get to the immigration desk at #Windhoek airport, and the lady says “Oh, I read that you were leaving today. I hope you enjoyed your stay here?” How very nice! But that’s #Namibia for you. 🇬🇧🇳🇦 #LandOfTheBrave @GRN_Namibia @MHAINamibia @Tourism_Board
