Thank you to the @NtlMuseumsomlia, @UNTMIS_, and OHCHR for a wonderful collaboration last night in celebration of #HumanRightsDay. The artwork, the discussions and the excellent company were the perfect combination to celebrate Somali culture through the lens of human rights!
To celebrate #HumanRightsDay we hosted an event that showcased impressive efforts by Somali artists and cultural institutions using artistic expression to elevate discussions on human rights in the Somali 🇸🇴 context.

As we strive towards greater accessibility in Canada, I was glad to learn of this initiative to promote disability inclusion in sport in Somalia. Hoping I can replicate something similar one day through my own networks and love of sport! :

Watched the briefing and can attest to how lucky Somalia is to have young, articulate and passionate women peacebuilders like this. Particularly as Somalia’s UNSC seat approaches. Congrats @IlwadElman on her contribution to Somalia’s future on the global stage.
The #UNSC briefing comes at a pivotal moment for #Somalia as 🇸🇴 becomes a member of the Security Council in 2025. Honored to discuss with H.E @AhmedMoFiqi & Ambassador @AbukarOsman1 @SomaliaatUN working together towards our shared goal of peaceful & prosperous #Somalia for all 🤝🏾

The imagery from the attack in Mogadishu last night is distressing and heartbreaking. My thoughts are with families and loved ones of the victims.
We kindly request your support in donating blood to assist our fellow Somalis who have been injured in the recent #Lido terrorist attack. Your contribution would be immensely valuable in helping save lives. @MoH_Somalia @TheVillaSomalia @SomaliPM #Somalia
