Honoured to present my credentials today in my Kryllingbunad from Krødsherad 🇳🇴✨ The Norwegian bunad is more than a costume - it carries my roots, my heritage, and the community I come from. Proud to wear mine here in South Africa🇿🇦

🎭🇳🇴 What a way to spend my first weekend in South Africa! On Sunday we went to The Market Theatre and saw "Isitha Sabantu" — a powerful South African retelling of Ibsen's "An Enemy of the People," inspired by the true story of environmental defender Fikile Ntshangase.

Vi trenger et månelandingsprosjekt for matproduksjon for å hindre en global sultkrise, advarer 150 forskere panoramanyheter.no/landbruk-… Dette er en en av mange grunner til at denne regjeringen satser på matsikkerhet i utviklingspolitikken. Vi har ingen tid å miste.

Israel’s shooting at @WFP convoy on its way to deliver humanitarian aid to starving people in #Gaza is totally unacceptable Norway calls for the urgent protection of all civilians, incl. humanitarian & medical personnel and hospitals, in line with international humanitarian law
6 Jan 2025
ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE: A @WFP convoy, clearly marked & carrying 8 team members, was shot at by Israeli forces near Wadi Gaza despite prior clearances. Humanitarians are #NotATarget! We MUST have safe, secure access to continue delivering life-saving aid.

Acting in advance of crises is cost-effective and builds resilience. Money from CERF is now disbursed to prevent the devastating effects of locust infestations in Eritrea. Norway supports anticipatory action and finances roughly 10% of @UNCERF
Eritrea faces threats to agricultural production and food security due to increasing prevalence of locusts. 

Such infestations could affect livelihoods of over 600k people.

I’m allocating $500,000 from @UNCERF supporting @FAO to protect thousands from hunger.

Shocked and appalled to learn about the bombardment of a @WFP compound in Sudan yesterday, where three WFP staff were killed. Attack on humanitarians is a blatant violation of humanitarian law. Our heartfelt condolences to families and colleagues of those who lost their lives.

Historic majority in the UN today. 137 countries spoke out: It is unacceptable for Israel to block life-saving support to Palestinians under occupation. Respect for international law must be upheld. Humanitarian access is imperative. Everywhere. regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/st…

Stortinget har i dag vedtatt et bistandsbudsjett på 1,01% av bruttonasjonalinntekt (BNI) for 2025. At Norge fortsetter å være en betydelig utviklingsaktør er i vår egeninteresse, slik at vi kan bidra til den verden vi ønsker og trenger, sier @AnneBeathe_ regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/en…

. @EspenBarthEide og @AnneBeathe_ enig med norske humanitære organisasjoner om behov for umiddelbar & stabiliserende innsats til det syriske folk. 🇳🇴støtte for i år økes med 55 mill, til 530 mill kr. Nå trengs en inkluderende prosess slik at syrerne selv kan bestemme sin fremtid.
