Last year, 45% of all #UNSC resolutions addressed crises in Africa yet countries have no permanent voice in the room. When those who are most impacted aren’t represented, decisions fall short. It’s time for African leaders to push for a meaningful reform.

Good Practice in Locally Led Humanitarian Action.
Local humanitarian actors bring crucial context, continuity, and legitimacy. #aidex #humanitarian Good Practice in Locally Led Humanitarian Action.

Local leadership in humanitarian action is already happening.

Examples from Kenya, Yemen, Indonesia, and Somalia show what’s possible when local actors are trusted and resourced to lead.

πŸŽ₯ Hear directly from local leaders.

When decisions are made about the continent’s security and future, African voices are barely at the table. Oxfam is calling on leaders to demand a real reform of the #UNSC. Africans deserve a say in their own future.

Big truths can be revealed in ten seconds.

When wealth grows this fast at the top, the gap widens everywhere else.

Africa continues to be at the center of the UNSC’s work, but still has no permanent seat within the Security Council. A continent carrying such a heavy share of global security challenges must have a voice. African leaders must call for real change. africa.oxfam.org/latest/publi...

The growth of billionaire wealth in 2025 was enough to end extreme poverty 26x over.

1 in 4 people goes hungry.

Take a second and sit with this.

If wealth keeps accelerating like this, what gets left behind?

Tell us what you think the long-term cost is.

Resisting the Rule of the Rich: Defending Freedom Against Billionaire Power | Oxfam International The future is equal

3K billionaires control $18.3 trillion, and this concentration of wealth is reshaping democracy itself. Billionaire money changes who gets heard, who decides, and who gets left behind.

Locally Led Humanitarian System
What a truly locally led humanitarian system should look like. #Aidex #Humanitarian #Localisation Locally Led Humanitarian System

🀝 Local humanitarian leaders from Lebanon, Indonesia, Yemen, Kenya, and Somalia shared their vision for a transformed, locally led humanitarian system β€” one where decision-making sits with the people and organizations closest to crisis-affected communities.

#Mozambique is experiencing its worst flooding in a generation.

After weeks of relentless rain, homes have been destroyed, roads & bridges washed away, and entire communities cut off.

This isn’t normal weather. This is climate injustice.

And that’s why it’s time to #MakeRichPollutersPay!

While governments pour trillions into militarisation, women led peace building is being underfunded.

As we mark first International Day of Peaceful Coexistence, our report Beyond Rhetoric makes clear that peace requires funding women’s rights.

Democracy at risk: Resisting the rule of the richest Oxfam’s 2026 inequality report charts the fortunes of the world’s billionaires and asks: is extreme wealth concentration incompatible with a democratic society?

The world’s 3,000+ billionaires increased their collective fortune by $2.5tn in 2025 – a sum that could eradicate extreme poverty 26 times over.

Is it now clear that extreme wealth concentration is undemocratic? @cabrowns.bsky.social @oxfaminternational.bsky.social @lseinequalities.bsky.social

#ExtremeWeather is hitting harder and more often. Heavier rains, stronger #floods, bigger loss and damage.

In #Mozambique, the worst flooding in a generation has taken homes and livelihoods from hundreds of thousands of people.

The people hit hardest did little to cause the climate crisis.

When billionaires earn in seconds what most people make in a year, something is broken.

And it’s not just the economy. It’s who gets heard, what’s valued, and who gets access.

Billionaires could spend eons unboxing toys, but they’re unboxing your β€œpublic servant” instead.

Some trends disappear on their own.

Others need to be retired.

Share this if you’d like oligarchy to be labelled a choking hazard.

New episode out: Resisting the Rule of Repression.

Assa Traore, Wanjira Wanjiru & Pawan Gautam share what pushed them into the streets & the cost when states respond to dissent with force.

Their stories reveal a shared pattern: inequality enforced through repression.

Another one to guess: how long would it take a billionaire like Elon Musk to earn what the average person makes in a year?

The answers range widely, and the reality is striking.

Quick quiz: how much do you think a billionaire makes during eight hours of sleep?

Most guesses miss the mark, and that gap says a lot about how hard it is to grasp the scale of extreme wealth.
