My thoughts are with the victims and families of the terrible attack that took place this weekend in Seytenga, Burkina Faso. This must be urgently investigated so that those responsible face justice for this appalling crime against innocent civilians.
Today I met with Isadora Zubillaga @isadorazubi, member of the democratic opposition in #Venezuela. Restoration of democracy in Venezuela is essential for the future well-being of the country and its people.

Politicians in all countries and on all sides should be able to work without the fear of violence.
