The programme aims to equip news managers with the ability to resolve workplace conflict and disagreement in order to lead effectively.

@KAS_africa It’s urgent - Germany has to rethink, thx for kicking off the debate @sf_berlin & @KampMathias

(1/2) The perception of the African continent in 🇩🇪 + 🇪🇺 needs a fundamental correction, and German development cooperation with Africa needs to be rethought! How do we get away from a misguided "Save-the-World-Approach" -

Not news at all. Just another African despot who plans to hang on as long as he can and then, when it absolutely can't be avoided, hand power to one of his kids. Now if he'd said he WASN'T running, THAT would have been a story.... monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/rw…

...and we're back. @thecontinent_

Editors-in-Chief Dapo Olorunyomi, Simon Allison and Mondli Makhanya debriefing us at KAS Headquarters in Berlin about their fact finding mission to Ukraine - thank you for your intellectual depth and analysis.@DapsyOly @simonallison @City_Press @KASonline

Recently, I met with representatives of African media - newspapers, radio, television... from South Africa 🇿🇦, Nigeria 🇳🇬, Kenya 🇰🇪, Uganda 🇺🇬, Ghana 🇬🇭, Benin 🇧🇯, Côte d'Ivoire 🇨🇮. They were not only in Kyiv, but also in Kherson region and Bucha, where they talked to the families of the victims of this war. Every time journalists from other countries come to Ukraine and see the consequences of Russian aggression with their own eyes, they return home with the truth about this war. And we speak with them during interviews not in English or French, we speak the language of truth, and this helps us a lot to keep and increase the world's attention to Ukraine, to our struggle for freedom. We talked to African media, among other things, about the situation with grain exports and Russian aggression against global food stability. And I am grateful to everyone in the world media who honestly tells their audience what they see in our region, in our country.

Am leaving the African Continent after 6 years at @KASMedia Africa, - thank you, merci, Asante, amesagnalo to so many inspiring colleagues⁩ @DapsyOly @ashamwilu @simonallison @Cabdalleaxmed @amanyehun @nwabisa_mak @nabooker @BhekiMakhubu and so many more - stay in touch!
