The UNSC demands the end of #elfasher siege. I hope you’ve heard of it. It’s the capital of N #Darfur. Surrounded by RSF fighters amidst #sudan ‘s horrific war. Was a humanitarian hub but everyone still alive is trapped in a deadly nightmare. Tanzil is out, her family is not.

💔 I’m shook at how shook I am. Benjamin Zephaniah was one of the arsenal of amazing Black British people pied pipering hearts and hopes ever onwards & I guess didn’t even notice myself being shaped by the space he held. What an amazing, joyful voice. Thank you. ❤️

South African news site hit by cyberattack shortly after publishing a story on India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi's perceived snub at being greeted on touchdown by a cabinet minister, though the South African deputy president's office denies any upset. twitter.com/dailymaverick/…
Daily Maverick@dailymaverick

1/ Earlier today (Wednesday, 23 August), Daily Maverick published a story about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's refusal to leave his aircraft at Waterkloof Air Force Base because the South African government had only sent a Cabinet minister to officially welcome him.

🌍 In sub-Saharan #Africa, an estimated 600 million people lack access to #energy. ⚡ Electrifying the region would cost $20 billions a year, which becomes even more complex if we push for greener energy. @GCSF24 talked to @nj_ayuk, the chairman of the African Energy Chamber ⤵️

@SoVeryBritish I bought a shredded roast pork bun at Euston and delayed gratification to take it on the Eurostar with me to Paris. I was looking forward to eating it in my tiny garret in the 18th. I left it on my seat on the train. That was 2017. I still check my bag.

There’s no sorrow quite like realising you’ve missed out on a meal deal. I forgot to buy crisps once. I wasn’t thinking. I just bought a sandwich and a drink. The crisps would’ve reduced the total price by over a quid (and I would’ve had crisps!). This was a few years ago now. I still think about it.

@NjAyuk @energy_african tells me That navigating the path towards decarbonisation for #africa is a journey not an event and that the continent has to tackle its energy shortfall in the meantime.
