So sad to hear this awful news about Raffaela Iodice. She was unique. A huge loss. May she rest in Peace.
Deeply saddened by the loss of Raffaella Iodice. Her extraordinary commitment to Afghan women's rights and dignity at @EU_Commission was exemplary. Her tireless work in Afghanistan changed countless lives, giving voice to those unheard. My heartfelt condolences to her family.

A privilege to moderate today’s session of @FrontLineHRD #dublinplatform and to listen to the compelling testimony of Madiha Abdalla from Sudan. She was joined by 13 other human rights defenders from 13 countries, giving their first hand experiences from the frontline.
My heart goes out to the incredibly courageous Sudanese journalist Madiha Abdalla as she shares her personal account at @FrontLineHRD #dublinplatform. Madiha calls for support for peace efforts and expresses #solidarity with the people in Palestine, Yemen and Ukraine

It a privilege, always, to be invited to the EU Diplomatic Academy @EUDiploAcademy, and to share experiences and thoughts with new diplomats from EU Institutions and from Member States.

I thank The Progressive Post @ProgPost_FEPS and @FEPS_Europe for inviting me to contribute an article on the urgent search for #Peace, in today’s troubled world, drawing on the #GoodFridayAgreement and on #peaceprocesses such as #Colombia.
In a world consumed by war, successful – albeit imperfect – #peaceprocesses should be looked at to draw lessons🤝 . In this ProgPage @EamonGilmore says 1-size-fits-all solutions don't exist but cases like the #GoodFridayAgreement offers inspiration✍️. ➡️

I am deeply saddened to learn of the death of Emmet Stagg. He was a principled and tenacious fighter for the people of Kildare and a tireless champion for @labour values. I recall his enormous support to me when he served as Chief Whip.

Very saddened to learn of the death of Charlie Bird. Outstanding journalist, whom I have known for nearly 50 years. Courageous in pursuing the truth and in coping with his illness. My sympathies to his family.
