“The millions across our globe who stand expectant at the gates of hope look to the UN to bring them peace, to bring them prosperity and to bring them a life of dignity.”
On #MandelaDay, I am reminded of these words by Madiba in his address to the General Assembly — and of the hope the UN carries: to listen, to act and to deliver for the people we serve.

After years of tireless advocacy, the international community is beginning to acknowledge the role that illicit gold trade plays in sustaining the devastating conflict in Sudan.
As early as October 2010, we called for action to boycott #BloodGold—gold linked to violence and used to finance a war that has brought immense suffering to millions of Sudanese people.
The recent announcement by the @EU_Commission regarding sanctions targeting Sudanese gold linked to the conflict marks an important step toward disrupting the financial networks that fuel the war. While much more remains to be done, coordinated international action is essential to promote accountability, protect civilians, and support a path toward lasting peace.
The people of Sudan deserve peace, justice, and the opportunity to rebuild their country free from conflict.

Gold is a gift from God — but in Sudan, it has become a curse.
In less than three years, gold revenues have displaced millions, killed tens of thousands, and destroyed Sudan’s capacities and infrastructure.
STOP importing or buying blood gold from Sudan.

الذهب هدية من الله،
لكن في السودان أصبح لعنة.
في أقل من ثلاث سنوات،
أدت عائدات الذهب إلى تهجير الملايين،
وقتل عشرات الآلاف،
وتدمير قدرات السودان وبنيته التحتية.
🛑 أوقفوا استيراد أو شراء الذهب الملطخ بالدماء من السودان.

Co-chaired with Yacoub El Hillo the development partners group supporting resilience in countries hosting Sudanese refugees, & within #Sudan. Much progress but as we wait for peace, we must advance these efforts for our Sudanese sisters & brothers, & communities hosting them.

Insightful side event at #RefugeeForum Review showing how development actors are critical to the future of #Sudan & its neighbors receiving refugees.
As @FilippoGrandi noted, “strong humanitarian & development support bring solutions & hope to millions affected by the crisis.”

Millions of Syrians remain displaced in the region. Solutions are in sight for many, but are not a given.
In Berlin, @MariaSt_UNHCR and I met @BMZ_Bund & @AA_stabilisiert . Germany always has been an important partner throughout this huge displacement crisis.
Now, more than ever, is a crucial time for continuing our joint work.

80 years on, the UN navigates the rough waters to serve humanity and protect our planet.
Not perfect — but indispensable.
The Charter is still our guide, the SDGs our toolbox, and peace, dignity, and justice for all our shared purpose.

I have just chaired with Yacoub El Hillo (UN DCO) the Development Partners Group mtg on #Sudan, calling for support to Sudanese who have opted to return to safer but still devastated areas.
More solidarity & investments are required.

#Sudan's illicit gold trade fuels atrocities and deepens its humanitarian crisis. The Biden Admin has not acted decisively to hold foreign entities accountable for funding the civil war. Stronger measures are overdue.

I spoke with @AFP & warned that 20 months into the #Sudan crisis, refugee & internally displaced numbers only continue to grow, with regional & global consequences.
Redoubling the search for peace & supporting affected populations are the answers. barrons.com/news/un-warns-gr…

The doctrine of the Hijab in Islam is well intentioned to protect women.
Islam does not prescribe the death penalty for non-compliance of wearing the Hijab.
Islam is a religion of Peace in which women are highly valued by the Muslim Ummah.
Let’s not distort our religion but promote its intentions as dictated by the Holy Quran and the teachings of the Prophet PBUH.
