Gold is key in the UAE's funding of the RSF's war effort but their interests extend far beyond that to arable land and ports along the Red Sea. The UAE already controls hundreds of thousands of acres of Sudanese land and used it (b4 the war) to grow animal feed... (1/2)

Sudan has accused Kenya of actively siding with the country’s destabilisers - after Nairobi platformed, the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF). To add insult to injury, the paramilitary and its affiliates were in town to discuss launching a rival government in the sectors of Sudan they control.

Feel like you know nothing about Sudan? I sat down with the team at Prospect Magazine to talk about the conflict, and why it’s NOT a forgotten war, but an invisibilised one: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/podcasts/pro...

“One resident likened the situation in the villages of El Quteina to “Judgment Day,” when “a person flees from his father, his mother, and his brother,” as RSF fighters on motorcycles spread out, shooting people in the streets and inside their homes.” The definition of terrorism. #KeepEyesOnSudan

Each week, we share an African proverb - and try to relate it to what’s happening in Africa today. As so often, we think again of the immense suffering being inflicted on the Congolese people.

Do I have any followers who are or who know high school Civics educators? Please email me -- [email protected]. I am working on a piece about the disappearance of civics education in public schools and how it's leading to so many people being VERY unable to be literate citizens of democracy.

This reason, among many of why humans just can’t act right these days. Plastics have taken over our brains as well, not just the planet 🙃

BREAKING: We are suing HHS for the removal of critical health info and data from websites. The removal creates a dangerous gap in scientific research and threatens public health. The Trump executive order that led to this purge puts American lives in danger.

There are people on the Sudanese TL on that hellscape of an app justifying arbitrary detention and saying it’s “no big deal”. Every day I lose more hope.

What’s going on? #Khruangbin has been killing it for a while now, and it’s wild to see them labeled as "new" when they’ve already built such a dedicated fanbase and dropped multiple incredible projects. But hey, the #Grammys have a history of being a little... questionable with their ways

It’s a major surprise to me that this is the first time it’s happened. The methodology in defining a top scientist was to look at the authors of the most cited papers in 129 scientific journals. Since 2020, the number of U.S. top scientists has declined by 14% while it’s up by 77% in China.
