Friday the 13th doesn’t seem so ominous anymore now that every day carries a threatening aura.

📍South Africa | Around 40% of ICRC operations are in Africa. When humanitarian space shrinks, support from states & partners is key. @PYoussefICRC, regional director for Africa, addressed authorities and diplomats on the humanitarian situation on the continent. Learn more 👉🏾 ms.spr.ly/6017Qnool

The Deputy President of the Republic of South Africa 🇿🇦 @PMashatile welcomed the @ICRC_Africa and its Director for Africa @PYoussefICRC and to discuss the humanitarian situation on the continent. 🔴We share the same message: the urgent need to uphold humanity in war.

His Excellency, the Deputy President of the Republic of South Africa, Mr. Paul Mashatile, meets the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)‘s Regional Director for Africa, Patrick Youssef and delegation at Highstead Official Residence,Cape Town, Friday morning. The meeting which was attended by the ICRC and government officials reaffirmed South Africa’s commitment to supporting humanitarian efforts and support the most vulnerable, particularly women and children during conflicts. The meeting reinforced the significance of diplomatic efforts in addressing Africa's growing humanitarian crises and the importance of upholding humanity in war. #SilencingTheGuns #PeaceKeeping #PaulMashatile

Today, with @DIRCO_ZA DDG Maud Dlomo, we engaged diplomats sharing our belief in humanity. We called on States to join #GHLI to reduce suffering in war. With 51 conflicts displacing millions in Africa, African leadership in strengthening IHL compliance is critical. #UrgentAction

Maria Bageza’s story is one of resilience and hope. Orphaned at a young age, fleeing war, & enduring the disappearance of her children, her path from Burundi to Malawi has been about heartbreak. She speaks with a quiet strength, reminding us of the human cost of armed conflicts.

States are key to protecting humanity in conflict. The @ICRC urges all governments to join the global initiative on #IHL & strengthen respect for the rules of war.Speaking at the Red Cross Societies meeting in Luanda, @DaisyMbutho warned: Without political will-humanity suffers

Kicking off the 21st All Africa #IHL Course at @go2uj! 45 participants from 12 African countries are in #JHB for the next 10 days where they will learn and exchange views on #IHL. In these challenging times, spreading IHL knowledge is essential. #Africa #HumanitarianLaw

Honoured to open the 2025 #AllAfricaIHLCourse at @go2uj on Monday, where 25 students from 12 African countries are deepening their understanding of #IHL and human rights in conflict. Grateful for our partnership with @go2uj in advancing IHL knowledge in Africa. #IHL

Thank you so much DM of DoJ & CD, Hon. Mr. Andries Carl Nel for standing with @ICRC_SAfrica, the missing, and their families.

On Tues. 19Aug2025, I joined @AlvinBotes74959 at @theDIRCO to engage diplomatic corps, those from Africa & High-Level #IHL Initiative core countries. A powerful reminder that humanity must come first. #IHL must be a political priority at the global, regional and national levels.

@EnoGeorge05 Happy happy birthday my love!!! 💖

Happy birthday to me 😭😭

This week, @ICRC in Pretoria is attending a Train-the-Trainer seminar with Southern African armed forces. Building on our longstanding collaboration, we are honoured to contribute to the #CJAX2025 and strengthen #IHL integration in future Peace Support Operations by armed forces

Head of ICRC Pretoria Regional Delegation, Mr @JulesAmoti, explains how the Tool draws on African traditions to show how community practices align with IHL—reinforcing its relevance across the continent. Learn more: bit.ly/4jZ4qUE #AfricanValuesInWar

To mark #AfricaDay, we partnered with @go2uj for a panel discussion on how African traditions can reduce war’s impact on civilians. Students & academics agreed such practices exist and emphasized the need for armed actors to follow these traditional rules in conflict.
