Worth reading. For me though, as what was once known as an “old Cambodia hand”, the echoes of Pol Pot and Mao are stronger than those of the folks who sacked Rome. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Rwanda is one of Africa's most efficient surveillance states, and Rwandair is state-owned. If you want to give the Rwandan government the chance to read every email you send and phone call you make, this sim card is definitely recommended. www.ktpress.rw/2025/05/with...
