France in Kenya and Somalia

The 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly opens at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on 18 September 2018.

For the first time ever, France will host this year’s Ryder Cup at the Golf National in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. Over 300,000 spectators are expected to attend the week-long tournament (25-30 September), which will be played on the Albatros championship course.

Thanks to the financial support from the Directorate of Heritage, Memory and Archives of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, the defence mission of the French Embassy renovated the grave of Private Marange (number 14503), a French veteran who died on 26 June 1943 and was buried in the municipal cemetery of Eldoret, in the small Commonwealth military enclave.

The Bastille Day, celebrated every 14th of July, was held at the Residence of the Embassy of France to Kenya and Somalia on Peponi road.

Since it was created in 2008, the Crisis and Support Centre has seen its role evolve and has adapted its organization to address diverse security, climate, humanitarian, political and health crises.

Its work goes well beyond the times of the crises themselves, starting well in advance and finishing well after they occur.
