@DPGPhysik Schön Euch hier zu sehen, Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft!
Welcome to the #Fediverse, #German #Physical Society!
Just a couple days ago we talked about how important it is for somewhat central, leading organisations to act as role models and encourage others, especially those outside the inner IT circles (if we wanna call it that).@IMSforfreemedia @newsmast @dw_innovation

'The festive welcomes mask the pain which motivated the caravan. “Inside the buses are more than backpacks and banners, there is grief, resolve, and the memory of every child killed in Gaza while the world watched,” said one member of the travelling group'

A list of cancelled and retained USAID contracts presented to the US Congress indicates that at least nine African nations may have lost all projects…Analysis of the list by two research fellows at the Centre for Global Development shows the cuts are deepest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Uganda, South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania. Across 44 African countries, they amount to nearly $4 billion in lost funding. —From “The Continent” #Africa #USAID #ForeignPolicy #DRC #Ethiopia #Uganda #Kenya #Tanzania #SouthAfrica #RepublicansDidThis #TheContinent

"Um Gold im Wert von 245 Millionen Dollar zu transportieren, bräuchte man mindestens zwei Hubschrauber. Das wissen wir, weil genau so viele Hubschrauber Regierungssoldaten in Mali im Jänner nutzten, um etwa drei Tonnen Gold aus der Mine Loulo-Gounkoto zu beschlagnahmen, die dem kanadischen Unternehmen Barrick Gold gehört. Die Regierung behauptet, Barrick schulde ihr Hunderte von Millionen Dollar an unbezahlten Steuern."
Duncan Money in @thecontinent über das riskante Investment internationaler Bergbauunternehmen in der Sahel-Region und wie sie nun von Militärjuntas erpresst werden (en):

Not a real #NewstodonFriday post from us this week because we're still getting back up to speed after the holidays (yes, we're relaxed, no, we don't expect it to last!). Instead, here's a list of independent publishers we love and that have an active presence in the fediverse. Please follow, boost, donate and support however you can. Below the list is our spreadsheet of federated Flipboard accounts, all of which are followable here.

Alas, we've not had time to pull together our usual #NewstodonFriday thread this week (sometimes you've just got to prioritize watching a group of seven-year-olds wave paper plates to the "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy"). Instead, we're going to re-share our list of the brilliant indie publishers with an active presence on Mastodon, all of whom would love your support. The spreadsheet below shows all the Flipboard publisher accounts we've federated, many of which are also small independent publishers that would appreciate your cash and/or clicks.

Successive Zambian administrations have been among the most enthusiastic adopters of the kinds of policies recommended by the Gates Foundation. The country is a poster-child for Agra’s drive to industrialise African agriculture, having implemented in 2009 a new subsidy programme to incentivise farmers to switch to commercial seeds and intensive fertiliser use. More than a million farmers did.
But, instead of increasing yields, the new approach simply increased farmers’ vulnerability to climate shocks like the current drought, the new report concludes.

All Protocol Observed
Welcome to Issue 239 of The Continent
Macron is back in Africa: energetic, ambitious, and still trying to convince the world Paris is relevant. Meanwhile, in Mayotte — legally France, geographically Africa — asylum seekers wait for la République to notice them.
