Congratulations Mo Yahya and
all the best in your new role!

AI has enormous potential for sustainable development, but it could very likely worsen inequality.

We need a systematic effort to increase access to AI so that developing economies can benefit from its enormous potential.

Congratulations Abdullahi Mire👨‍💻
This is a well deserved recognition.

Congratulations Mohamed Abdirizak, this is a well deserved appointment.

When it comes to the current process of implementing a national identity program in Somalia, I believe the guiding principle should be 'identity first.' This is about establishing one's identity (who they claim to be) and not about citizenship status or individual rights.

People of #AfricanDescent continue to face pervasive discrimination around the world.

We must continue to speak out against all ideas of racial superiority & work to free all societies from the blight of racism.
