Every year, I express my best wishes for #EidAlFitr to the Muslim community around the world.

My heart is broken knowing that in Gaza, Sudan and many other places - because of conflict and hunger - so many Muslims will not be able to celebrate properly.

I really liked what I saw and heard. I saw a space where young people could stay while their mothers were working. The work that is being done with few resources is quite noteworthy.

In 1994, one million children, women & men were killed in the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

We will never forget the victims.

Nor will we ever forget the bravery & resilience of those who survived, whose courage & willingness to forgive remain a burst of light & hope.

The 7th of October is a day of pain for Israel and the world.

Nothing can justify the horror unleashed by Hamas.

I once again condemn the use of sexual violence, torture & kidnapping of civilians, and call for the unconditional release of all the hostages.

In its speed, scale and inhumane ferocity, the war in Gaza is the deadliest of conflicts – for civilians, aid workers, journalists, health workers, and for our United Nations colleagues.

We honour all those who have been killed, and pledge to remember their commitment & sacrifice.

Six months on, the Israeli military campaign has brought relentless death & destruction to Gaza.

Lives shattered. Children dying for lack of food & water.

This is incomprehensible & entirely avoidable.

Nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.

This 'Intern. Conf. on Freedom,Democracy & Good Governance' is more than ever timely. In fact is a clear testimony of 🇨🇻commitment to advancing these 3 dimensions of human develop. which are at the heart of our international peace & security agenda' Leonardo Simão UNOWAS
