Great to talk about human rights with the @_AfricanUnion Commission and members this week. The AU plays a crucial role in human rights, as well as wider development, peace and prosperity in the region.

Sudan faces the most devastating humanitarian catastrophe this century. That is why the UK Government is doubling support for frontline responders to reach over 1.8 million people in desperate need.

After 3 years of war, what is happening in Sudan is the greatest humanitarian crisis of the 21st century.   The UK is announcing over £140 million this year for humanitarian support and victims of sexual violence ⬇️

It was a great pleasure receiving Amb. @AdamDrury, DPR @UK_AfricanUnion. We held productive discussions on AU–UK cooperation in the Horn of Africa, focusing on the peace process in South Sudan, the urgency of a ceasefire in Sudan, & completing the security transition in Somalia. We agreed to strengthen ongoing collaboration in eastern DRC & I underscored #AU’s gratitude for the UK’s steadfast dedication to our enduring partnership across the continent. #GoFarTogether

The UK’s new approach to Africa means genuine partnership and leadership from African institutions. Yesterday at the 2026 AU Summit in Addis, I spoke alongside @AfricaCDC and @AfDB_Group on how we build Africa’s health security.
