The United Nations Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator for Syria, Mr. Imran Riza, and Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the Syria Crisis, Mr. Muhannad Hadi, strongly condemn two separate events in northern Syria, which through the indiscriminate use of improvised explosive devices, have claimed civilian lives and led to serious injury of others.
On 2 January, a car bomb exploded in Ras al-Ain in a market area on a main road, with reports indicating that the blast killed two child siblings, and injured their mother. At least three shops were damaged as a result of the explosion, and several other civilians were injured.
I am proud to have been part of many milestones in the partnership between both levels of the Government of Kenya and the UN, and to count on the unfailing support of the leadership of Kenya at all levels of Government. Kenya’s potential is boundless, and the country now offers stronger platforms for new shared-value investments than ever before. With a firm belief in a common destiny, I intend to keep telling the story of the emerging powerhouse that is Kenya.

Happy New Year, Kenya.
Several milestones in my personal and professional life have made Kenya a cherished place for me. I started my Unicef career in Rumbek, South Sudan, in June 2000 and my rest and recuperation breaks were in Nairobi. In fact, Kenya was the first African country I had ever visited and, frankly, it was love at first sight.
I came back in November 2004 to serve with Unicef Somalia based out of Nairobi, and in 2006 I got married in Kenya. My son, who was 3-years-old in 2014, has had his formative years growing up in Kenya, and considers himself Kenyan.
