Day job: Swedish diplomat. Always: Love football, laughing loud & dancing in Kigali. Hate racism, inequalities & genocide denial. Not official account. Just me.

In 1994, over one million children, women and men were killed in the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Today, Sweden 🇸🇪 joined @RwandaUN, @PGA, @UN and Member States in the General Assembly to honor their memory and to stand against hatred, division and violence.

07th April 1994 - Their last moments were filled with fear. They saw it coming. The whistles, the weapons, the warnings - The world didn’t stop it. We remember, so that it never happens again! #Kwibuka31

To my Rwandan friends. Today many people across the globe stand in solidarity with all Rwandans during the 31st commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. Thank you for teaching us about reconciliation & hope. We honor your loved ones. We remember.🕯️#Kwibuka31
31 years ago, on us, darkness fell. But from the ashes, we rose and chose light. We remember the Genocide against the Tutsi. We honor the resilience. We stand together. Kwibuka means to remember, but it also means to Learn. To Heal. To Rebuild. #Kwibuka31

Today we remember the Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda 1994. One million people killed in 100 days. An extreme failure of humanity & the responsibly to protect each other. To honor the victims let us never give into forces of racism that aim to divide & dehumanize #Kwibuka30

After 20 years of visiting & living in Rwanda I’m in awe of the strength of survivors & the Rwandan determination to unite & rebuild. It’s a difficult day of memories & loss for many Rwandans, but there is nowhere I”d rather be. Honored to attend #Kwibuka30 in Kigali. Murakoze🙏

Accelerating climate change. Growing humanitarian needs. Increasing inequality and poverty.
The #UNGA78 high-level week is coming to a close. Now, we must scale up our efforts to develop effective and innovative solutions to face the challenges of our time.
Sweden delivers.

Today, we honour the memory of late 🇺🇳 UNSG #DagHammarskjöld & his colleagues who perished in a tragic plane crash in Ndola 🇿🇲, 62 years ago.
He fought for global peace and security. His ideas and principles are still fundamental in the @UN’s work for peace today.

It’s been 20 years today since we lost our dear colleague and Minister for Foreign Affairs Anna Lindh. During her time as minister, she had a strong impact on human rights, democracy and peace efforts.
Her valuable work & memory live on here at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs🕯️

Sweden is currently the target of malign influence campaigns, aimed at harming Swedish interests & ultimately Swedish citizens.
The things we share online can have big consequences. We can all do our bit to stop disinformation by sharing responsibly.

Today we honour the memory of Raoul Wallenberg.
The Swedish diplomat saved tens of thousands of Jews from the Holocaust. His achievements are a reminder of the need to continue to stand against antisemitism, bigotry & racism. #RaoulWallenberg
