Merry Christmas! Every year a gigantic Christmas tree appears
in San Francisco's Union Square. It is already up.

"Commentators have called out the song’s condescending lyrics, the insinuation that Africa is a single country, the depiction of Africa as a place of despair, and the use of demeaning imagery."#DoTheyKnowItsChristmas

#DoTheyKnowItsChristmas? ☃️ That’s the question @MathildeAdjutor keeps asking.
🎁 For 2025, her wish is simple: let’s ensure #DSA implementation consultations don’t overlap with the #holidays and take stakeholder input into account.

“My school years during the ‘Band Aid era’ were tainted by ostracization and condescension. Similarly, the Global North continues to exploit Africa while patronizing it with initiatives such as Band Aid.”

"Do They Know It's Christmas?" the song written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in 1984 and sung by the star-studded group Band Aid, sold millions of copies, raising funds for famine relief in Africa. New versions were recorded in 1989, 2004 and 2014. Now, a supercut, in which voices from every iteration will be mixed, is being compiled to mark its 40th anniversary — and some of the participants aren't happy. Ed Sheeran said on Instagram that he wasn't asked for permission to reuse his 2014 vocals and would have said no. “A decade on and my understanding of the narrative associated with this has changed," he wrote, referencing a statement by Fuse ODG. The Ghanaian English singer declined an invitation to participate a decade ago because of "the harm initiatives like it inflict on Africa," he wrote on social media. "While they may generate sympathy and donations, they perpetuate damaging stereotypes that stifle Africa's economic growth, tourism, and investment, ultimately costing the continent trillions and destroying its dignity, pride and identity." Here's more from @BBCNews.
