Russia always says it wants peace. But the reality looks very different.

Illegal recruitment, disinformation campaigns and hybrid warfare — across Africa and Europe. 🌍🇪🇺

In Germany 🇩🇪, Russia’s responsibility for the attempted drone attack at Leipzig Airport has now been confirmed ‼️

On 4 August, an explosives-laden drone was found near a cargo aircraft at the airport. The device was defused, and the airport was temporarily shut down.

Following the confirmation of Russia’s responsibility, Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced new measures against Russia, including:

✅ closing Russia’s Consulate General in Bonn
✅ terminating the lease for the Russian House in Berlin
✅ tighter immigration controls for Russian nationals
✅ increased pressure on Russia’s shadow fleet
✅ new EU sanctions

Let’s be clear: This state of relations is not in the interest of the German Government. Germany’s objective has always been to bring Russia’s

It started with lunch for 25 children. Today, it’s reaching more than 660,000.

But the impact extends well beyond the classroom.

This year's German Africa Prize 🇩🇪 goes to Kenyan social innovator and nutritionist Wawira Njiru, founder and CEO of Food4Education!

Food4Education sources around 80% of its food from local smallholder farmers 👩‍🌾, employing more than 6,000 people, the majority women and young people. In doing so, school feeding becomes more than a response to hunger: it can create jobs, strengthen local value chains and reinvest money in communities.

That is why the German Africa Foundation is recognising Njiru's pioneering approach to treating school feeding as economic infrastructure, an African-built solution with lessons that can travel beyond Kenya. 🇰🇪 Food4Education is already sharing its experience with other African governments, including Zambia. 🇿🇲

The prize will be presented in Berlin on 4 November by Germany's Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development, Reem Alabali Radovan. 🇩🇪

Human rights do not protect themselves. They are universal and protecting them is a shared responsibility. 🤝

That is why Germany is running for a seat on the UN Human Rights Council for 2027–2029.

For Germany 🇩🇪, protecting human rights is not an optional part of foreign policy. Our own history has shaped that responsibility, while fundamental rights are firmly anchored in Germany’s Basic Law today.

If elected, Germany will continue working with partners worldwide to protect human rights defenders; strengthen the rule of law and equality; defend freedoms of expression, the press, religion and belief; combat transnational repression; and work towards the abolition of the death penalty. ✅

For 20 years, the UN Human Rights Council has provided a forum where every country’s human rights record can be examined, including our own. Germany has served as an elected member five times and remains committed to a strong international human rights system that holds all states to the same standards.

Russia describes its war against Ukraine 🇺🇦 as "surgical" and "careful."

The reality looks very different: guided aerial bombs striking residential neighbourhoods, civilians injured, homes destroyed. When cities are bombed and civilians terrorised, Russia's claims lose all credibility and must be judged by its actions, not its words.

Germany's position is clear: Together with our European partners, we continue to support Ukraine so that Ukraine can defend its people and a just and lasting peace becomes possible.

Why is Germany's Foreign Minister 🇩🇪 making his third trip to Africa since taking office? Because Africa is a key partner for Germany and Europe ‼️

His first stop: Mauritania 🇲🇷 - an anchor of stability in a region facing growing security challenges. While others rely on escalation and confrontation, Mauritania focuses on de-escalation, dialogue and diplomatic solutions. 🤝

The country has also shown extraordinary solidarity by hosting more than 300,000 refugees from neighbouring Mali 🇲🇱, despite having a population of just around 5.5 million people.

Germany will continue to stand alongside Mauritania through humanitarian assistance, development cooperation and initiatives that strengthen peace and create opportunities for young people. ✅

Together, Germany and Mauritania are working towards a more stable, prosperous and resilient future for the region. 👏🏾
