Today, I convinced another African mentee to avoid "sub-Saharan Africa". As we review writing: Prof Nadia why don't you like SSA? Me: Bc it's more skin color than geography. Look at these maps. Where does Sahara end & SSA start? Ok, where do you find the BLACK Africans? Them: Ah

At no point in Africa's post-colonial history has a national museum been looted at this scale this is yet more evidence that the UAE is a colonial scourge in Sudan, exactly like the French and British theft of Africa's priceless artifacts middleeasteye.net/news/rsf-loots…

🔴 It has now been confirmed that the UAE-backed RSF Militia have looted the Sudan National Museum. Antiques dating back thousands of years from one of Africa’s oldest civilisations have been taken.

Most people alive today have absolutely no idea what we have destroyed, what is missing: life! We are creating a world in which only humans and our livestock exist. We will soon find out that we cannot survive in such a world.

Almost every single group in history that has committed mass atrocities has argued that they were justified in their actions. People don't just get up and start committing genocide - they first create an institutional and ideational context in which genocide appears necessary.

This is the most alarming story I've worked on in a while. The French billionaire Vincent Bollore, described as "the French Rupert Murdoch", is trying to bring Africa's biggest broadcaster - MultiChoice, that's DStv, ShowMax and SuperSport - into his "right wing media empire".

Calling Millet an "ancient family of grains" paints a picture of a forgotten food from times gone by, that needs to be rediscovered. Yet millet is a staple in many communities in Africa. It has never gone away, it has always been with us - the romanticization is sinister
