One of my favourite, inspiring, events in the @UKinUganda calendar is the send off for @CheveningFCDO & Commonwealth scholars as they head to the UK. At one level, a tangible UK investment in Uganda’s future; at another, just incredibly exciting for all concerned. #GoFarTogether

🧵Thirty years ago, the Egyptian group al-Jihad carried out a suicide attack against the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, marking the first time a Salafi jihadi organization used this tactic successfully. Some notes on the attack’s background, players & aftermath.
Delighted to see this - proud to see Jen from the @UKinKenya team invited to speak on this important and ever evolving subject

Very excited to see #Cameroon’s Carlos Baleba, of Brighton, in the Troy Deeney team of the week. Sounds like an immense performance. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…
I nursed this #honey from #Cameroon for 13 months (since I left #Yaoundé) but finished it this week. The finest honey I’ve eaten, by miles. I tried to connect this firm to British honey people but no luck. If you know anyone importing it to UK, tell me mielroyal.net/
This is the wrong Nigel - you don’t want me giving any advice to businesses on tax relief! But I’m nevertheless delighted to discover another Nigel Holmes out there and am sure he is, accordingly, brilliant.

Still going through our stocks of essentials from #Cameroon . This and honey are, I think, the best of the best.
While I was in #Malta for the @iijmalta event I was wowed by #Valletta and can’t wait to go back. Amazing people, history, architecture and food. Not quite as cold as the UK at this time of year. Plus: the sight of an @marksandspencer or two on the high street.
I was delighted to spend two days last week celebrating the tenth anniversary of @iijmalta - dedicated to addressing terrorism in compliance with the rule of law and human rights.
I look forward to joining their Governing Board of Administrators for the UK in the coming days.
This is not at all positive news for what we British call ‘pancakes’ (surely what we’d think of as ‘English crêpes’). No, the French have gone for #crumpets instead.
(Since you ask: tasty enough, but not a patch on @Warburtons crumpets.)
