Today (27 January), the global community marks Holocaust Memorial Day, honouring the consequences of geopolitical hatred and dehumanisation, and inviting us to reflect on what peaceful coexistence demands in practice.

As we reflect on humanity, rights and common responsibilities, questions of global health funding come immediately to mind: and the United States’ formal withdrawal from the World Health Organization under President Donald Trump.
Yet there are pockets of democratic resilience.
Poverty trends in Ghana continue to improve, and South Africa is in active preparation for local government elections.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day!
