Colonial-era censorship bodies continue to stifle African creativity, but a new wave of artists and activists are driving a pan-African push for reform. africasacountry.com/2024/11/bored-…

Nice. Our @ZTNPrime just crossed over live to their correspondent, inside the small but volatile island nation of Britain, where an uneasy transition begins after the regime of strongman Gen BoJo collapsed, ending a 3-year reign of error. 😎 Well done @itaimutinhiri and ZTN team

Talked to @telliotter @restofworld about @ICRC hack with @ziadachkar @stucampo @meowtree and said that humanitarian orgs “have the resources of mall cops to protect against the cyber hacking equivalent of Delta Force.”

In January, the @ICRC suffered a major hack that compromised a data system intended to help reunite families separated by conflict and crisis. The hack worried experts because ICRC is one of the most well-resourced aid orgs when it comes to cybersecurity restofworld.org/2022/humanitar…

People are still writing that Israel (as a first mover) has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world. No, it ranks 24th. It is behind the leaders by 20 per cent points. And it's one of the reasons its Delta wave has been so troubling.

Mass arrests of opposition leaders going in Tanzania. Just like Jo Pombe, it started with the opposition to independent voices. No one is safe.

Vaccination is our most powerful tool against the virus, and masks are an extra layer of protection. Nearly every hospitalization and death from Covid is now preventable. Delta is serious, but protection by vaccines is holding. 18/

When I was arrested today, I was dumped into a mobile prison van which was tear-gassed. My campaign team is under arrest! I was airlifted in a military chopper & dropped at my gate. My home is surrounded. Gen. Museveni violently restricting us while he campaigns daily! Cowardly!

The effects of #CycloneChalaneZimUpdate is likely to be felt nationwide, and not just Manicaland. In light of this, Mat South PMD has warned that Beitbridge and parts of Gwanda may experience an increase in malaria cases as more breeding sites are likely to increase with rain.

Seems fairly clear from the reports we have now that the TPLF leadership vacated Mekelle well in advance & so resistance was ltd as TPLF is preparing for guerrilla war against “occupying forces”. If true, the war has only just begun 1/2 #Ethiopia #Abiy bbc.co.uk/news/world-afr…
