Wisdom Wednesday 🕊️ For nearly six years as a child, Maya Angelou chose not to speak. She would later find her calling in writing about “hope… joy and triumph in the human spirit.” Her journey reminds us: finding your voice can take time, but your voice still matters. #MayaAngelou

Ghent University has suspended Nathan Cofnas pending an investigation. As a former Rector, I support Rector Petra De Sutter's decision, which serves the community and the institution and shows stronger leadership than @Cambridge_Uni. In the coming days, many questions will need answering about Dr Jason Arday's involvement and his appointment as Professor. @FullOptionscio

Speaking at the inauguration of the United Nations Nairobi Expansion Project in Gigiri, UN Secretary-General António Guterres criticised the global financial system for forcing African countries to pay borrowing costs three times higher than those of developed nations, despite some having stronger financial stability and growth prospects. Guterres also called for permanent African representation on the UN Security Council and a stronger voice for Africa within the IMF and World Bank.

Communiqué on the Situation in #Venezuela. The African Union is following with grave concern the recent developments in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, including reports of the abduction of the President of the Republic, Mr. Nicolás Maduro, and military attacks on Venezuelan institutions. The African Union reaffirms its steadfast commitment to the fundamental principles of international law, including respect for the sovereignty of States, their territorial integrity, and the right of peoples to self-determination, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. The African Union underscores the importance of dialogue, peaceful settlement of disputes, and respect for constitutional and institutional frameworks, in a spirit of good neighbourliness, cooperation, and peaceful coexistence among nations. The African Union emphasizes that the complex internal challenges facing Venezuela can only be sustainably addressed through inclusive political dialogue among Venezuelans themselves. The African Union expresses its solidarity with the Venezuelan people and reiterates its commitment to the promotion of peace, stability, and mutual respect among nations and regions. The African Union calls upon all parties concerned to exercise restraint, responsibility, and respect for international law to prevent any escalation and to preserve regional peace and stability.
