1.The Russian government's list of so-called undesirable organizations has grown yet again. This time authorities have banned the U.S.-based International Republican Institute, or IRI, and the Media Development Investment Fund, or MDIF, from operating in Russia. The United States, said State Department Spokesperson John Kirby, is "deeply troubled by the Russian government's decision."
Throughout the world the IRI and MDIF promote openness, accountability in government, and media freedom, principles Russia should seek to promote, not to suppress. In a press release the IRI said, "This move really says more about [Russian President] Vladimir Putin than it does about IRI. It's further proof that he fears democracy and allowing his people to have an opportunity to shape their own future."
Amnesty International Russia Director Sergei Nikitin said, "this move is designed to send yet another unmistakable message: Russian [non-governmental organizations] and independent media should steer clear of foreign funders and foreign funders should steer clear of Russia."
Under the 2015 Law on Undesirable Foreign Organizations, groups can be banned from operating on Russian soil if they are seen to pose a threat to the state's constitutional order, national defense, or security.
Other U.S. non-governmental organizations on Russia's list include the IRI's sister organization the National Democratic Institute and their funder, the National Endowment for Democracy.
The people of Russia deserve transparent and accountable governance, equal treatment under the law, and the ability to exercise their rights without fear of retribution. The United States again calls on the government of the Russia to uphold its international obligations and commitments to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms and to eliminate such restrictions on the important work of civil society organizations in Russia.
2.
Sub-Saharan Africa is on the move. It is one of the world's fastest-growing regions, is home to a middle class projected to grow to over one billion, has the world's most youthful population, and is more connected by technology and smartphones than ever before.
A key to continued growth and prosperity in the region is to support and empower a new generation of leaders. That's why the United States launched the Young African Leaders Initiative, or YALI, six years ago. The goal is to connect future leaders with each other, with the United States, and to resources and to networks that can help them flourish as leaders in business, government, and civil society.
In a recent speech at a YALI town hall meeting for the Mandela Washington Fellows President Barack Obama announced a new executive order to support American companies interested in doing business in Africa. This fall, the U.S. will host the second U.S.-Africa Business Forum on trade and investment. In addition, the U.S. will continue advancing the Power Africa initiative to bring cleaner electricity to more than 60 million African homes and businesses.
Under YALI, the Mandela Washington Fellows Program has already brought 2,000 outstanding young Africans to the United States to participate in six week leadership institutes and a Presidential Summit. Across Africa more than 250,000 people have joined the YALI network, through which they gain access to online courses and a network of peers and mentors.
Thousands of young people have been trained in leadership, entrepreneurship, and networking at four Regional Leadership Centers located in Dakar, Accra, Nairobi, and Pretoria.
A current Mandela Washington Fellow is human rights activist and lawyer Geline Fuko of Tanzania. She developed Tanzania's first database of constitutional resources, connecting her government to more Tanzanians so they could understand the law, their rights, and their responsibilities.
The United States believes in the potential of individuals like Ms. Fuko and thousands more like her not only in Africa but in Southeast Asia, the Americas, and Europe. As President Obama said, “You should know that you'll always have a partner and friend in the United States of America.”
