UN Secretary-General's Statement on the Death of

President Beji Caid Essebsi of Tunisia 

29 November 1926 - 25 July 2019

Death of President Beji Caid Essebsi of

"I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of President Beji Caid Essebsi of Tunisia, a pivotal figure in the history of Tunisia and the country’s independence. In recent years, he was instrumental in successfully steering the country through its historic and peaceful transition to democracy.
 
President Essebsi will be remembered for his bold determination to uphold democratic rule in Tunisia and to respect and promote the rights of its citizens, including his strong advocacy for women’s rights and equality. President Essebsi was a Tunisian pioneer, an Arab and African trailblazer, and a global leader. 
 
I convey the deepest condolences of the United Nations to the family of President Essebsi and to the people and Government of Tunisia."

"Until recently, Namacurra district, in the Zambezia province of Mozambique, some 1,500 km from the capital Maputo, did not have any basic services – such as schools, health centres, or even energy – connecting the region to the electricity grid would be extremely time-consuming, and costly. But a new UN-backed clean energy initiative looks set to change the outlook for Namacurra, and, within a matter of months, kickstart sustainable development for the benefit of the thousands of people, relocated to the area following the devastating rains of 2015, and it could herald an improved outlook for other economically disadvantaged parts of Africa."

Sorrow Abounds Around the World

on Easter Sunday

April 21, 2019

"Sri Lanka Easter bombings:

Mass casualties in churches and hotels"

SRI LANKA EASTER BOMBINGS 2019 1b.jpg

"A series of coordinated bombings struck churches and hotels on

Easter Sunday killing 207 people in the worst attacks in Sri Lanka 

since the end of the civil war 10 years ago.

At least 450 people were wounded after the island nation was hit

by a total of eight explosions, police said, adding several of the

attacks were carried out by suicide bombers.

Most of the victims were killed in three churches where worshippers were attending Easter Sunday services. Three other bombings

struck luxury hotels - the Cinnamon Grand, the Kingsbury

and the Shangri-La - located in the heart of the capital

Colombo, killing at least 35 foreigners."

Yes!

 In this new era of modern-day advancements in technological capabilities intended for the furtherance of global human

development and sustainability within a  safe  and 

healthy environment, unforeseen - and even 

unimagined - adversities which threaten the

whole of Human existence are unavoidable

challenges that cannot be ignored.

 

In fact, the preparedness of all
