In February, I’ll do a free tamarind seedlings giveaway in the Copperbelt. Which town/city should I do it in?

@Kela_Mulenga @robert_ivanhoe This is good to read

@robert_ivanhoe @mulos

Kamoa-Kakula's #copper smelter is currently producing 1,600 tonnes of high-strength sulphuric acid per day. We are currently selling this acid for between $470/t and $500/t to local mining operations in the DRC Copperbelt that critically need the acid to leach the copper from their copper oxide ores. Kamoa-Kakula's copper ore is sulphide, therfore our operations DO NOT consume acid... In the past week, we have started to see the price of acid rise in the DRC Copperbelt, due to the lack of #sulphur being shipped out of the Middle East through the Strait of Hormuz... If supply remains constrained, the price will only continue to rise. Up to 80% of the sulphur imported into the DRC Copperbelt passes through the Strait of Hormuz. @kamoa_copper_sa

Why do some Americans and Israelis think its illegal to fight back? Y’all bombed Iran and are now shocked that they are fighting back and are calling it illegal 😭😭😭😭😭

I like how every other platform has perfected targeted advertising but twitter is still serving up stuff like this

The best way to unblock Hormuz is to go back to the world before the continental drift

Is this saying a 50 mortality rate? 3,000 cases reported annually with 1,500 deaths. I am totally confused, and how much was raised by the bikers?

@MisterAlbie I know a few. You can DM

@mulos do you know of good photographers in Lusaka?

If Jews can justify their war crimes against Palestinians with a holocaust they claimed happened 85 years ago, Africans can definitely demand reparations for a colonial plunder of our resources that certainly happened 60 years ago.

So can we take this seriously? Firstly was there even any discussions with the Iranians?

While Trump speaks of “productive talks,” Israel has killed Iranian academic Dr. Saeed Shamghadari, an associate professor at Iran University of Science and Technology, along with his family (family is a collateral damage for Israel). - This is what “de-escalation” looks like on the ground. Iranian channels #Iran #Iranwar

Every week, when markets open, Trump makes these kinds of statements to drive down oil prices. Even his five-day deadline aligns with the closure of the energy market. But in reality, there are no negotiations underway, nor does Trump have the capability to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's firm threat has once again forced Trump to back down.

The media and it's "experts" conclude it is legal to attack energy infrastructure when we do it.

It's called "Atrocity Propaganda" and it is used by colonisers in every conflict they provoke to portray themselves as victims and justify their subsequent aggression. Same thing was done in 1991 when the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US was coached to testify before US Congress that Saddam's guards took babies out of incubators and killed them with bayonets. Then the whole story was later retracted quietly. Same thing was done in 2011 when western media began reporting that Gadaffi was a rapist who kidnapped young girls off the street and their parents never saw them again, and that he distributed Viagra to his armies of black mercenaries from Sub Saharan Africa so they could rape Libyans as punishment for rising against him. Same thing was done a few weeks ago when western media uniformly began reporting that "Iran killed 30,000 protesters". That too is being quietly retracted. Whoever repeats these lies is not doing so out of ignorance, because this has happened so many times.

US winning as usual: The USS Gerald Ford is expected to be out of service for 14 months. Which probably means a minimum of 2 years.

@EscobarChim You'd be shocked that even the other demographic does do the same. Mob justice are like auctions, many a sane person loses their mind following the mob. It's all down to.self discipline

Someone shouts that their katundu has been stolen, you all mob an innocent person and kill them in the process. Why didn’t you confirm with the person first? Those who were caught and the same man are responsible for the death of that woman. And it’s always a certain demographic that believes such nonsense.

israel: *bombs iran* iran: *bombs israel back* israel: "you see? they bombed us.. this is why we had to bomb them"

Calling for genocide of 90 million people? Last week you wanted to save 3,000 protesters. They’re the same people, ya fuggin slop-goblin 💀

My favourite Africans are Zambians BTW. I'm not sure why, but I've never met a Zambian I didn't like. Every single one I know is just a pleasure to be around, both male and female. Hope I haven't jinxed it now sha🤐

@Kela_Mulenga Ah, this is great news, at least for a fee mines here

@mulos Not sure about other mines but this article idnfinancials.com/news/61996/hor… cites the first quantum country director saying they were unaffected by the impending shortage because they produce their own sulfuric acid.

Gold is down over $1,000 from its recent highs. This war will impact even our ability to earn from our gold. Possibly even copper if we don't get sulphuric acid which is held up by the war and will be in short supply

Update Diego Garcia: Further info shows the most likely scenario is that NO missiles were fired on or near Diego Garcia. No credible satellite, radar, video or debris has been released to show any missiles were fired at or near Diego Garcia—only claims from unnamed US officials first made by Reuters and repeated. Iran denies it. UK and in-depth investigation disputes Iran has missile capability beyond 2-3k. Looks like a nothing burger started by unnamed US Govt sources and just repeated without critical examination.
