I shake my head at Eritrean diaspora which sings the praises of dictator Isaias. If he's so great, why don't they go home to his "paradise" instead of staying in corrupt West? Of course, in Eritrea, they couldn't insult people on X due to no internet. Isn't hypocrisy wonderful?!

One cannot understand global health without this. How the IMF & World bank, as the machinery of economic imperialism impoverished the global south with devastating impacts for public health. We barely register the impact of direct violence- these less visible impacts are huge👇🏾

@sentdefender America was named after a guy called Amerigo yet he was not as great as Trump. Therefore the United States should be named after Trump! Trumpistan, Trumpo, Trumpland etc can work.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s Treasury Department is planning to add his signature to all denominations of the United States Dollar moving forward, which will mark the first time in history that the sitting president’s signature will appear on American Currency, with Trump’s signature expected to replace that of the U.S. Treasurer, Brandon Beach, sitting alongside his Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s, several sources including Beach himself have confirmed to Vanity Fair.

@aaronmmakiki Any link to the report?

#Rwanda: The RSF report paints a detailed portrait of Paul Kagame as one of the main predators of press freedom in the region, based on several factual elements. Total control of the media landscape Since 2000, Kagame has ruled a country where press freedom is described as “virtually nonexistent.” The media landscape is strictly controlled, and the established media outlets are mostly linked to the authorities, serving as government mouthpieces rather than a counterweight. A widespread code of silence, maintained by censorship and self-censorship, has become the norm in national coverage. Journalists imprisoned, disappeared, or forced into exile Since Kagame came to power, 17 journalists have been imprisoned in Rwanda. Journalists critical of the authorities risk imprisonment, enforced disappearance, or exile. The report cites the emblematic case of Dieudonné Niyonsenga, director of the YouTube channel Ishema TV, who was sentenced in 2021 to seven years in prison on what were deemed absurd grounds: violating Covid-19 health measures and presenting fake press cards, despite having previously published interviews implicating Rwandan soldiers in theft and looting. According to Human Rights Watch and Voice of America, he is being held in appalling prison conditions, deprived of light and subjected to regular beatings. The suspicious death of John Williams Ntwali The report cites this case at length as particularly emblematic of the impunity that reigns in Rwanda. Editor-in-chief of The Chronicles newspaper and known for his investigations into government actions and human rights violations, Ntwali had been targeted for over a decade by the authorities, who had arbitrarily detained him and repeatedly threatened him. On January 18, 2023, he was killed when he was struck by a vehicle while riding a motorcycle taxi. The trial, held behind closed doors—a rare occurrence for a road accident—resulted in a mere fine for the driver, based on an investigation that was never made public. The systematic suppression of alternative narratives about the war in the #DRC The report highlights that any account of the conflict in the DRC that diverges from the official Rwandan narrative is systematically suppressed. Furthermore, Rwandan authorities support the AFC/M23, a topic completely taboo in local media. Selective accreditation control Rwanda very carefully screens journalists authorized to enter its territory, making independent coverage of the country virtually impossible for foreign correspondents. The report cites the case of Belgian journalist Stijn Vercruysse, who was refused boarding by an airline for a flight to Rwanda in September 2025, presumably because of his reporting on Rwandan involvement in the Congolese conflict. A revealing ranking Rwanda ranks 146th out of 180 countries in RSF’s 2025 World Press Freedom Index, placing it in the “very serious” category, despite its international image as a model of post-genocide reconstruction. @StanysBujakera

Only China and Russia. Western countries are captured by certain elites. The global South is disorganized nonsense.

@elizondogabriel Bachelet deserves it more than Macky Sall.

Now official: Chile has withdrawn its nomination of Michelle Bachelet for UN Secretary General. The paperwork has been filed with the UN. Since she was also nominated by Brazil and Mexico her candidacy stands.

@jasonhickel Will the global south be compansated or we move on as if this crime didn't happen?!

I'm happy to announce this new paper — we compile evidence on the extraordinary harms caused by IMF and World Bank structural adjustment programmes in the global South since the 1980s. The empirical record is devastating: documented negative impacts on wages, poverty, inequality, maternal mortality, infant mortality, healthcare access, etc. SAPs inflicted misery on the periphery in order to curtail their consumption, scupper independent development, and make labour and resources more cheaply available for the core. gh.bmj.com/content/11/Sup…

Not true. Men get it more because they're less likely to be vaccinated for HPV in the first place. fortune.com/well/2024/05/2… And men typically have a higher HPV viral load than women: "Penile samples had on average a higher viral load than vaginal samples (P < .001)." pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC67…

Vagina's carry a higher viral load and this is why it's now a "male" cancer. Just a random fact you probably never wanted to know.

This is why developing countries should never adopt policy prescriptions by the World Bank without subjecting them to rigorous testing.

An often forgotten slave trade is the Arab slave trade. Trans-Saharan or Eastern slave trade started earlier and lasted longer than Transatlantic slave trade. A few years ago I visited the old slave port in my mom’s home district of Nkhotakota (Malawi).

I’m less interested in the football in this series and far more interested in the commercial lessons behind it. This is where the real lesson is, FIFA has really mastered the art of introducing assets too 😂 Club World Cup made Chelsea WC (😭) For Kenyan brands and rights holders, this is a clear signal, flexible competitions amongst competitors create flexible revenue opportunities. Take a closer look at the partner structure in Rwanda, particularly the banking category. At first glance, it seems counterintuitive to have multiple banks as Main Partners. Traditionally, competitors resist shared visibility. But here’s the nuance: Not all partners sit at the same level. There are clear tiers. Bank of Kigali is likely positioned as the lead financial partner, while others operate within defined scopes, either as category-specific partners or within segmented offerings (retail, digital payments, SME banking, etc). This is how Kenyan competing brands should think as well. It allows organizers to: • Maximize commercial value • Broaden stakeholder inclusion • Reduce dependency on a single sponsor • Drive stronger overall activation My takeaway is, Exclusivity is not always the most profitable strategy. With the right structuring, competitors can co-exist without diluting value. In fact, the ecosystem grows stronger when they do. This is a model worth studying.

The 25th Dynasty, also known as the Nubian Dynasty, or Black Pharaohs, ruled Egypt between 744 BC and 656 BC as part of the wider Kushite Empire. The 25th Dynasty originated from the city-state of Napata in Nubia, in what is today Sudan. greekreporter.com/2026/03/21/bla…

@ssentongopeter5 So there is opportunity to grow formal Venture Capital in Uganda!

Does Uganda have those rich guys you can pitch to ideas and if it’s viable and feasible they fund it?
