I've always told my PhD students that a PhD is a marathon and not a sprint. Now that Sabastian Sawe has run the London Marathon in under 2 hours, I'll need to think of something else to tell them.

Sono molto contenta di aver accolto oggi a Palazzo Chigi il Presidente della Repubblica del Kenya, @WilliamsRuto, e di aver avuto la possibilità di fare con lui il punto sui tanti fronti di cooperazione che uniscono Italia e Kenya e sulle opportunità che abbiamo per renderli ancora più forti.

Africa is a reservoir of joy and hope for the whole world. Its young people and its poor still dream; they hope still; they do not settle for what already exists. They desire to rise up again, to prepare for great responsibilities, to put themselves on the line personally. The desire for the infinite that dwells in the human heart is a principle of social transformation deeper than any political or cultural program. #ApostolicJourney #Angola

@HonMoses_Kuria KES has been very steady. Is it likely to hold with the undercurrents now?

Kenya's cost of money in international markets has come down relative to our peers. This is the direct benefit of our 2 straight years of currency stability and other macro-economic indicators and positive credit rating. Kenya, Benin and Egypt are the only African natiions in the international bonds market. The straits of Hormuz have been opened. The war is over. Let parliament now go back and reverse the reactionary changes they passed yestrday. Totally unnecessary and panicky. Will erode the fiscal and monetary gains of the last 2 years!

Dear Italy, Your PM just defended Pope and lost an ally in Washington — the Commander in Grief, yet the most 'powerfool'man on earth. We'd like to apply for the vacancy. Our qualifications: 7,000 years of civilization, a shared love of poetry, architecture, and food that takes longer to prepare than Trump's attention span. The only thing Iran and Italy have ever fought over is who invented ice cream. Faloodeh came first. Gelato came louder. We've been in a 'cold' war over this for 2,000 years.

@AsstSecStateAF Great, ready to engage more on trade especially opportunities with AGOA

"Sustainable economic growth does not come from aid. It comes from private enterprise. So, we are making a clear shift: from aid to trade, from assistance to investment, and from dependency to partnership. And we are engaging African nations accordingly—not as aid recipients, but as capable commercial partners". -Nick Checker, Senior Bureau Official Read the full keynote in the thread. ⬇️

No effort must be spared to swiftly reach, through diplomatic means, a strong and lasting settlement to the conflict in the Middle East. Such a settlement must provide the region with a robust framework enabling all to live in peace and security. To that end, all the core issues must be addressed through lasting solutions, whether with regard to Iran’s nuclear and ballistic activities, its destabilizing actions in the region, the need to restore free and unimpeded navigation through the Strait of Hormuz as quickly as possible, as well as the need to ensure that Lebanon returns to the path of peace in full respect of its sovereignty and territorial integrity. France stands ready to play its full part, as it has consistently sought to do since the very first day of the conflict. As regards the Strait of Hormuz, in the coming days, together with the United Kingdom, we will organize a conference with those countries prepared to contribute alongside us to a peaceful multinational mission aimed at restoring freedom of navigation in the strait. This strictly defensive mission, separate from the warring parties to the conflict, is intended to be deployed as soon as circumstances permit.

Anthropic's postponing the release of its new AI model Claude Mythos, said to be so skilled at coding it could be a wicked weapon for hackers, has encountered a mix of alarm and skepticism. u.afp.com/SE57

BREAKING: The US has agreed to 'release Iranian frozen assets held in Qatar and other foreign banks' and this is 'directly linked to ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz', according to Reuters report.

There is no greater force against evil in the world than the love of a woman and a man in marriage. 9 kids, 27 years, still in love. Happy anniversary, Rachel!❤️

I'm ready to deploy 100,000 Ugandan soldiers in Israel. Under my command. To protect the Holy Land. The land of Jesus Christ our God!

I've been married 15 years. Still married because we treat these like law: • Bed is for sleep and sex only • No phones in bedroom • Kids asleep? We talk. 5 mins or 3 hours. Doesn't matter. We talk • Pray together before sleep • We eat every meal together • No screens when eating • And we never, and I mean NEVER criticize each other in public Your marriage is your son's blueprint, and your daughter's standard. Make sure you lead at the front and everyone will follow.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.
