We must own our history and draft our own story moving forward to shan out the skewed narratives and depiction of Africans as inferior through the lens of our oppressors (the WEST). #AfricaUnite #PanAfricanism @pamrwanda @PaulKagame @BlakAmericans @alueducation

Climate change presents a significant health emergency in Africa. Extreme heat, floods, droughts, and shifting disease patterns endanger lives, disrupt essential health services, and exacerbate existing inequalities. Effective adaptation requires placing health at the core of climate action. Join @Amref_world, @PACJA1, and @univ_paris_cite at #COP31 to discuss why climate adaptation should prioritise protecting people, strengthening health systems, and building resilient communities.

Who owns Africaโs #HealthData? Who decides how itโs used and who benefits? These are fundamental questions of Africaโs health sovereignty. Health data is a strategic asset for every nation and the continent. African countries must control, protect, and use their own data to drive policy, spark innovation, and improve health for all. The First Africa Health Data Forum in Nairobi must advance country-led solutions, strengthen health information systems, and secure Africaโs ownership and control of its data.
This conversation must not end in Nairobi. It must move to Kigali at #AHAIC2027, where African leaders, policymakers, researchers and partners will continue shaping a future in which Africa generates, governs and harnesses its health data to advance its own priorities.

We've entered a new age of climate extremes:
A supersized El Niรฑo is colliding with a planet already superheated by climate change.
The latest @WMO report shows once again that leaders must get serious by cutting emissions faster, accelerating a just transition from fossil fuels & delivering the finance & protection vulnerable countries need.

No single COP can stop climate change overnight. But every recent COP has made essential progress. Listen to UN Climate Change Executive Secretary @simonstiell explain what #COP31 is all about.
Climate change threatens our health, economy, and safety worldwide. We face extreme weather, food shortages, and more disease. #COP31 must drive real partnerships and funding to protect those most at risk.

Behind every number is a family, a mother caring for a sick child at home, or a health worker who didnโt come back from a shift. 10,172 confirmed cases. 4,932 lives lost.
โWe are not winning so far.โ โ said H.E. Dr Jean Kaseya at yesterdayโs Extraordinary Ministerial Meeting on Ebola.
The room responded. Ministers agreed to get every country ready, to work hand in hand across borders and to keep those borders open while watching them closely. Partners stepped up behind Africaโs plan.
Because Ebola anywhere in Africa demands preparedness everywhere in Africa.

Messrs. @WilliamsRuto, @MusaliaMudavadi and @SingoeiAKorir are badly mismanaging Kenyaโs foreign affairs.
How can an African country publicly support UAEโs candidate for Secretary General of the @UN when there are 2 Africans vying for the same position, yet expect other African countries to vote for Kenyan candidates for other global positions?
The UAE has become Zionist Israelโs errand boy in the Middle East. It had committed atrocities in Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Iran and Somalia.
Support for the UAE is a vote for Zionism.
Why is Kenya not supporting Ugandaโs @Olara_Otunnu?
One cannot shout โPan-Africanโ and demand respect from non-African countries, then coil up and behave like indentured slaves.
Why couldnโt Kenya even support the Barbadosโ candidate?
How much has the UAE paid our mandarins?
Telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Today, @Amref_Kenya held a high-level meeting with Cabinet Secretary for Health, @HonAdenDuale, EGH, to review progress under its strategic partnership with the @MOH_Kenya, which has reached over 3.6 million people across all 47 counties between January and September 2026.
The CS commended #Amref for its contribution to national health priorities and its transparency and accountability in aligning investments with government priorities.
Discussions highlighted progress in expanding access to primary healthcare (PHC), improving maternal and newborn health, strengthening disease prevention, and enhancing outbreak preparedness and response.
The engagement reaffirmed a shared commitment to government-led, accountable partnerships that strengthen health systems, improve lives and deliver sustainable health outcomes for all Kenyans.

The #Ebola cases in Kenya and Nigeria highlight the need for a coordinated, continent-wide response. African governments, @AfricaCDC and regional bodies should strengthen cross-border surveillance, accelerate testing, secure sustainable financing and build community trust to contain the outbreak at its source. Africa cannot afford fragmented responses to cross-border health threats. Collective action, adequate resources and rapid response are critical to protecting lives and strengthening health security.

As climate change intensifies across #Africa, youth are emerging as leaders, advancing solutions for climate and health. Through technology, advocacy, and grassroots initiatives, they address urgent challenges and influence policy. With #AHAIC2027 approaching, youth engagement is critical to set priorities, amplify voices, and strengthen climate-resilient health systems.
By leading action and building inclusive partnerships, Africaโs youth shape a healthier, more equitable future.

#Ebola virus is deadly. Early detection is essential to stop community transmission and infections. Consistent community sensitisation ensures everyone knows the signs, symptoms, and prevention methods. Strong communities are our first line of defense.
#Ebola continues to spread in the DRC and Kenya, raising concerns across Africa. Prompt action is key to preventing escalation. As @daktari1 notes, every index case starts at the community level. The most effective protection is investing in communities by strengthening local surveillance, ensuring early case detection, communicating risks clearly, and responding rapidly to contain the spread. Strong communities remain our first line of defence.
