Ciid Wanaagsan, and #EidMubarak across #Somaliland and around the world. As I sit in Hargeisa listening to this evening's prayers, I'm thinking about the many celebrating, and our shared reflections on peace, compassion, and hopeโจ

My heartfelt sympathies go to everyone injured in the Algarve tornado today, including the family of the British national who sadly lost her life.
We are in close contact with Portuguese authorities and our consular staff are ready to provide support.

British Office Hargeisa welcomed UK colleagues and #Somaliland ministers/officials for discussions on trade and the strategic use of the #BerberaCorridor and Port. It was an opportunity to explore how ๐ฌ๐ง & international partners can support inclusive and sustainable growth in SL.

Devastated to hear reports of a collapsed bridge between Hargeisa and Berbera - a critical route for trade and livelihoods. The communities affected are held deeply in my thoughts, and I hope for safety to those dealing with the heavy rains.
