A giant of the Mara has fallen.
Fred, an iconic Mara Tusker, was found dead today of natural causes. Well into his fifth decade, Fred served as a symbol of the success @KWSKenya and Mara Elephant Project achieved in combatting ivory poaching over the last 15 years.
Fred’s counterparts didn’t live to see old age. How lucky we are that he did.
Collared since 2013, his tracking informed an approach that other Tuskers across Kenya benefited from. Even in death, Fred is the emblem for the Maasai Mara’s magic; thriving despite the challenges and contributing to a brighter future.
He will be missed, but what a life well lived.
We will be remembering Fred in the coming days. Stay tuned for more opportunities to join us in celebrating the life of this gentle giant.

From the search & rescue effort in the collapsed building in Eastleigh, to the humanitarian response in Moyale supporting refugees fleeing conflict and supporting response to #Ebola with Safe and Dignified Burial, volunteers of @KenyaRedCross show their commitment to serving their communities.
Really proud of this team.
Thank you.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the building collapse in Eastleigh, Nairobi.
We hope for the safe rescue of those still trapped and extend our heartfelt sympathies to all those affected by this tragedy.

Congratulations Kenya on the Global Trust Summit! Trust is fundamental to multilateral & regional cooperation as well as domestic development. By gathering government, civil society, private sector, academia and youth, Kenya put trust at the forefront in this highly timely event

It’s a steep, painful uphill struggle to get the message across, but it’s both important and laudable that the British ambassador is doing this, and I hope more Western ambassadors follow his example
(And the reason why the Kremlin/Russian MFA try to suppress this message is precisely because it undermines their whole “we have to do what we do because Europe is irredeemably Russophobic” narrative)

Key strategic tension from the panel:
• @MoussaMaraMali & @FCDOMattBaugh: Re-engineering local governance and using platforms like the G20 to overhaul debt architecture.
• The Big Debate: Pursuing a formal San Francisco-style diplomatic conference to rewrite the @UN Charter vs. executing targeted political pressure directly on key decision-makers.

“Trust is not created by promises alone. It is created when institutions, governments and international partners do what they said they would do.”

🇬🇧🇪🇺 A significant moment as @CWilson_FCDO formally presents her credentials as UK Ambassador to the EU.
And with the next UK-EU Summit coming up on 20 November, plenty of important work ahead.

Outstanding legal expertise. Global experience.
An unwavering commitment to the rule of law, and to the independence and integrity of the Court.
Hear why Professor @DapoAkandeLaw is the UK's candidate for the International Court of Justice.

Trust is not built through words alone. It is earned through integrity, accountability and actions that deliver real results.
Representing H.E. President @WilliamsRuto at the Global Trust Summit 2026 Dinner, I engaged leaders from different sectors and regions on the importance of rebuilding confidence in our institutions, partnerships and societies.
Our discussions reinforced a simple truth: strong relationships and credible institutions are essential to attracting investment, creating opportunities for young people and addressing shared global challenges.
For Kenya, strengthening trust means building partnerships that deliver, institutions that serve and an economy where citizens and businesses can thrive.

Kenya hosts #TheTrustSummit2026.
Ambassadors from across the diplomatic community, including the EU, US, UK, China and India, discuss the future of global trust.
Russia is notably absent.
Coincidence?
Or perhaps some absences speak louder than speeches.
