“FRENCH company Orano is turning
to Botswana for uranium after losing
access to the mineral in Niger after the
2023 coup and its fallout with the ruling
junta. The company forfeited uranium
assets worth an estimated $270-million.
Orano Botswana, registered on 10
April, has been awarded exploration
licenses and has begun aerial surveying
and ground sampling in the Kalahari
region around Gantsi in the country’s
southwest.
Botswana holds some of the world’s
largest undeveloped uranium reserves,
estimated at over 800,000 tonnes, worth
$300-million, and wants to diversify its
mining sector beyond diamonds.
In Botswana, Orano could face stricter
requirements than in Niger. Mining rules
in Botswana require that raw materials
be processed domestically to build local
industries and create jobs, rather than
exporting unprocessed minerals abroad.

What’s mine: Presidents Duma Boko (left) and
Emmanuel Macron struck a deal on uranium.
At the recent France-Africa summit in
Kenya, Botswana’s President Duma Boko
reaffirmed his commitment to these
policies, saying French investment in
the country’s uranium sector is welcome
“on condition it adopts Botswana’s local-
beneficiation policy as part of a broader
mining-sovereignty plan”.
But local labour leaders say Gaborone
will need to go further than rhetoric
and policy on paper. “The policies are
abstract and do not necessarily translate
to wealth creation for the nation or
direct equity for workers in the mining
sector and mining communities,” said
Mbiganyi Gaekgotswe, secretary-general
of the Botswana Mine Workers’ Union.
About four Australian and Canadian
companies are already operating in
Botswana’s uranium-mining sector,
including Australia’s Lotus Resources. It
was recently awarded a 22-year licence to
mine an estimated 113-million pounds
of uranium.

The attack occurred at approximately 10:00 p.m. local time on Barka Tolorom island within the volatile Lake Chad region. Chadian armed forces confirmed on Tuesday the scale of the fatalities […]

Not every river needs to reach the sea. 🌊

When I first heard about the Okavango River in Africa, I wondered, “How can a river end in the desert?” 🏜️

It begins high in the mountains of Angola 🇦🇴, winds through Namibia 🇳🇦, and flows deep into Botswana 🇧🇼. However, unlike most rivers, it never reaches the ocean. There’s no grand delta by the coast, no final rush into the waves. The Okavango simply disappears into the sands of the Kalahari Desert 🏜️.

And yet, before it vanishes, it creates one of the greatest spectacles of life on Earth 🌍: the Okavango Delta. Between water and sand, a vast mosaic of channels, islands, and floodplains comes alive. Each year, when the rains arrive from distant highlands, the desert transforms into a paradise. Elephants roam through glistening waters. Lions stalk through the reeds. Fish eagles soar above papyrus-lined channels. All of it, right in the middle of a desert.

When the flood recedes, life retreats and waits, ready to bloom again.

The Okavango never reaches the sea, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a reminder that not every journey has to end where others expect it to. Sometimes, the greatest purpose is found right in the middle of the desert.
