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…
I’ll raise you one: BY THE TIME YOU DETECT ONE VARIANT ANOTHER IS ALREADY CIRCULATING UNDER THE RADAR SOMEWHERE SO WITH A MIX OF SURVEILLANCE LAGS, LOW VACCINE UPTAKE, INEQUITABLE VACCINE ACCESS WE ARE WILL BE CHASING VARIANTS ENDLESSLY. (my first all caps tweet)

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…
