After 7 incredible yrs, my posting comes to an end tonight. While I’m sad to leave a place I’ve grown to love, I’m immensely proud of what we have achieved together. As I head onto the next chapter, I carry SL in my ❤️ and promise to tell others what I’ve seen
Just back from an incredible monitoring trip to Erigavo, El-Efweyne, and Burao. So happy that my successor, Camilla’s, first trip was all the way to Sanaag - underscores our commitment as Danida to make sure that we reach all corners of Somaliland!

The Minister of Water Development of Somaliland, accompanied by the Director General, held a meeting with the leadership of the Somaliland Development Fund (SDF).
The meeting focused on strengthening collaboration, accelerating ongoing projects, and planning upcoming initiatives.
Visit to Qool-Caday this week. Shocking to see what climate change and 40+ years of overgrazing has done but excited about the potential for better livestock management and regenerative farming.

Over 30 killed in the hospital strike in Rakhine State. This is the 67th attack on health facilities in Myanmar this year. This cannot be normalized.

Her Majesty Queen Mary of Denmark has arrived in Kenya for a three-day official visit. She was received at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Tuesday night by Prime Cabinet Secretary and Minister for Foreign Affairs @MusaliaMudavadi , accompanied by Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife Rebecca Miano.
While in Kenya, the Queen is expected to tour conservation development projects for endangered species at the Coast as well as several landfill projects spearheading waste management, circular economy initiatives, and urban environmental resilience within Nairobi before participating at the ongoing UNEA 7 meeting taking place at the United Nations Office in Nairobi.
The state visit provides a platform to strengthen Kenya–Denmark collaboration in renewable energy, climate action, and environmental protection. It presents opportunities to explore new areas of partnership and innovation that benefit both nations, particularly in people-centered and sustainable development initiatives. Kenya extends a warm welcome to Her Majesty Queen Mary.

I held a constructive and strategic meeting with Denish Ambassador, H.E. Steen Sonne Andersen. I conveyed my deep appreciation for Denmark’s steadfast partnership with Somaliland in development, governance and democracy strengthening.
Our discussion focused on expanding cooperation in security, economic development, social services, and peacebuilding. I welcomed Denmark’s recognition of Somaliland’s continued progress, particularly in advancing stability and development in the eastern regions.
