@Intelynx This is true

🇨🇩 #DRC | The DRC is using its minerals to pull the US deeper into its security orbit, but uncertainty, compliance rules & M23 rebel control of key sites are hampering Washington's bid to counter China's 70%+ control on the country's critical mineral assets.

Black Rhino Academy, Karatu, Tanzania 🇹🇿; designed by Kunlé Adeyemi of NLÉ. The catenary arches built with local materials are proof that African architecture is sustainable by nature. We just have to trust the process and use.

If Africa stopped exporting minerals for 1 month, which industry would collapse first?

Why Tanzania’s Location Is Its Untapped Goldmine By Zitto Kabwe (@zittokabwe ) Over the past two decades, as seen from my previous post here, Tanzania’s economy has followed a clear pattern. When electricity consumption increases, and freight moves smoothly through ports, railways, and roads, growth speeds up. But when power use slows and transport gets stuck, the economy weakens. Twenty years of economic data have vividly shown that 70 per cent of Tanzanian economic growth is explained by power and freight. These trends point to something even bigger: Tanzania’s location is its biggest unused strength. Tanzania has a unique spot in East, South and Central Africa. We border the Indian Ocean with deep ports and natural routes to landlocked neighbours like Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi, and Uganda. This makes us the natural entry point for trade in the Great Lakes area. Few other African countries offer this mix of peace, sea access, and inland links. Right now, transit trade (goods passing through Tanzania) brings in up to US$3 billion a year in foreign exchange. A 2013 World Bank report, Opening the Gates, says this could grow to US$16 billion annually with the right steps and in sequence. Read thechanzo.com/2026/02/16/why…

Honestly, i just want to be the reason my family never has to worry about money.

How best to use “TZS 200 billion za vijana na wanawake” 1. STRUCTURE - Fund of Funds (TWIGA National Fund) - Managed by a fund manager, supported by an advisory committee - Funds handed over to a newly formed Board - Board composed of industry players, Startups/SMEs reps, experts, and govt reps 2. SUB-FUNDS - Set up four (4) sub-funds, with different structures, instruments, and managers. - To work as catalyctic funds - Pay fund managers management fee a. Sub-Fund I: Grant Fund - Supports new innovative ideas - Pre-seed / pre-revenue - 50% as repayable grant b. Sub-Fund II: Debt fund - Supports short-term needs - LPO financing - Working capital financing - Lease financing - Non-collateralized financing c.

@kitilam, Tanzania needs a 'National Strategy for Critical Minerals and Rare Earth Elements'. These resources are vital for EVs, renewable energies and advanced technologies. A clear roadmap is essential to maximize their value and avoid past shortcomings as with gold, diamond.

This year taught me that as humans we have very little control over our life. No matter how careful you are, or reckless. Final button is with GOD. That realization made me “let go” and i nowadays live one day at a time. Zero pressure, zero grudges. Que sera sera.

#Tanzania: We are alarmed by the deaths & injuries in the ongoing election-related protests, as the security forces used firearms and teargas to disperse protesters. We call on the security forces to refrain from using unnecessary or disproportionate force, including lethal weapons, against protesters, & to make every effort to deescalate tensions. Protesters should demonstrate peacefully. ohchr.org/en/press-brief…
