#Nigeria: Yahaya Sharif-Aminu was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging for blasphemy in August 2020. The charges against him must be dropped and he must be released immediately and unconditionally.

Nigeria🇳🇬: In the midst of plenty, many people still go hungry, live in poor housing without basic services such as water and grow-up without education. This is not just because of a lack of resources, but also because of corruption, negligence and discrimination.

Protest is an invaluable way to speak truth to power. Throughout history, protests have been the driving force behind some of the most powerful social movements, exposing injustice and abuse, demanding accountability and inspiring people to keep hoping for a better future.

MSF’s compound in Nyala, Darfur was raided by armed men, who stole everything including vehicles and office equipment. Our warehouse – holding vital medical supplies – was also raided, we do not know to what extent as we have no access.

Honored to speak at @AmericanU today in the proud footsteps of #JFK, who gave a historic speech here calling for nuclear disarmament exactly 60 yrs ago. Today, as Russia plans to deploy nukes in Belarus, the world must stand united against dictators' aggression & nuclear threats.
