Africa is not asking for aid. Africa is offering mutually beneficial partnerships. G7 needs Africaβs green energy assets and transition minerals. Africa needs fair terms for development finance, technology transfer, and industrialization. G7 must do more to fix the risk architecture that holds back Africa, fund climate solutions, and let Africa co-write AI rules. G7 without Africa is managing decline. With Africa, G7 has a chance of co-designing the future. Thatβs the deal President Ruto will be pressing for in Avian, France. Honoured to be here to support him as he advances Kenya and Africaβs priorities. @ForeignOfficeKE

The UN80 Global Retreat in Oslo, Norway, comes at a critical moment for the international community. The United Nations system faces significant challenges: leadership, underfunding of key humanitarian and security programs; diminished trust to multilateralism, and delivery gaps in the field.
Against this backdrop, the Oslo Retreat, which I and our PR in New York @eelokaale are honoured to attend, presents a timely opportunity for member states to have a frank and constructive dialogue on the way forward for the UN system. As a key UN Station, Nairobiβs views and perspectives on this issue remains vital. @ForeignOfficeKE

South Africaβs Foreign Minister, Ronald #Lamola, on the recent xenophobic attacks targeting foreign nationals.
βWe must not lose our sense of humanity when we confront the problems we have as a nation.
There is no justification for taking the law into your own hands, our laws must be adhered by citizens and visitors.
We do not at all condone illegal immigration.
We are determined to address this by strengthening the capacity of the law agencies and our legal instruments.
And crucially we will continue engaging all the stakeholders including our partners on the continent and beyond about the root causes that lead to some of the immigration challenges we faceβ.

Welcome home to the Kenyan officers, including Force Commander Godfery Otunge, who led the Multinational Security Support Mission to Haiti. These officers served under challenging conditions and traveled far from home to answer the call of the Haitian people. Asante!

I've been wondering about something about Kenyan envoys abroad. Is it about their work, personality or communication of their work and engagements that determine their work rate? Take for example Amb Makoloo. Mans went to Austria and brought that mission to our attention. 1/

This is what the Ghanian Foreign Minister is explaining:
Africans will not pay visa fees. But there's no automatic/unvetted entry into Ghana. You will still go through full visa application procedures.
βFree Visaβ is not a visa-free travel. It actually means βzero-cost visaβ, not βno visa required.β
Facts about Ghanaβs new Free Visas for Africans Policy as announced by President Mahama:
1) Africans will not pay visa fees;
2) Not paying visa fees does not mean you will not go through visa screening. Africans will still have to go through a visa application process like everyone else just that theirs would be gratis;
3) Government is also introducing an e-Visa policy next month;
4) The Free Visa for Africans is a component of the e-Visa initiative;
5) All applicants including Africans will have to apply for visas through the e-Visa platform;
6) The novel e-Visa system shall be linked to Ghanaβs newly established API-PNR system and other international crime database which allows our consular officers to check background of applicants and provide appropriate vetting to ensure Ghanaβs security is not compromised;
7) People with criminal or deemed unsatisfactory records will not be admitted into Ghana;
8) Not paying visa fees is not the same as automatic entry into Ghana. There shall be no automatic and unvetted entries.
9) Adequate investments have been made by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, the Interior and Transport to ensure a robust and technologically advanced architecture is in place;
10) For clarity, though former President Nana Akufo-Addo announced a Free Visa for Africans policy in 2024, that could not commence because the mechanisms and security safeguards had not yet been put in place. As President Mahama indicated yesterday, Ghana is now ready to launch an e-Visa platform for all applicants across the world and a Free Visa for Africans policy from Africa Day which is May 25, 2026 fully anchored on appropriate security and technological frameworks.
May I wish you all a happy Easter.
For God, Country and Continent.

Effective May 25, Ghanaπ¬π becomes a "free visa regime for all Africans", President John Dramani Mahama declares.
If implemented, Ghana will become the fifth African country to offer this to travellers from the rest of the continent alongside Rwanda, The Gambia, Seychelles and Benin.
"Ghana seeks to consolidate its credentials as the cradle of Pan-Africanism even as it expects a major boost in tourism and intra-African trade by this groundbreaking reform," a statement from Ghana's Foreign Minister Sam Ablakwa reads in part.
A fully visa-free Africa does NOT yet exist, many Africans still need visas to travel within the continent.
Over 50% of African countries still require visas for most other African nationals.
Guinea Bissau, Mauritania, Nigeria, and Somalia switched from broad visa-on-arrival policies to requiring a visa ahead of travel.
