  2. 22 Aug '26: #Solimo 2nd #Migration Conference in #Gambia.

    Everyday countless Gambians take dangerous routes to #Europe in search of a better life. Many do not survive, others get stranded, most who make it are violently #deported. #Returnees are stigmatized & often labeled as criminals.

    Activists from Gambia & Europe come together for an open dialogue:
    - Listen to young Gambians, their needs & wishes, and grieve lost lives together.
    - Finding ways to #empower youths & build strong connections.

    "In Gambia, Salt Water Intrusion Is the Leading Edge of Climate Change

    Salt water from the Atlantic Ocean used to stop 150 kilometers from the mouth of The Gambia River. But now, with sea level rise, it intrudes 300 kilometers or more, triggering an agricultural crisis.

    In this little village in West Africa, Ebrima Nyan is watching his farmland slowly wither away. When Nyan, 47, was a teenager, the village grew all the rice it consumed, in a field alongside the Gambia River. Now that field lies dry and empty, after the river’s brackish water intruded, rainfall flagged and the soil became too salty for crops.

    By the early 2020s, the salt problem had moved farther inland from the river, to a field where the village grew onions, peppers, cabbage and eggplant, Nyan said. Seeds rotted, leaves fell off, plants shriveled. Bantang Killing’s farmers decided to abandon the field five years ago, though they still hold out hope it could produce again, if the soil was treated and salt kept out.

    'Even though you plant here, it will grow so small—not even grow to harvesting' size, Nyan said one spring afternoon, waving his arm at the fenced-off enclosure."

  8. From #preserving #Africa's #cultural #heritage to the era of #Artificial #Intelligence
    In 2017, the special issue of the #British #magazine The #Economist #announced on the cover that the most valuable resource was now data. This echoed the phrase “data is the new oil”, formulated in 2006 by data scientist Clive Humby.

    In 2018 James Bridle clarified that data is not the new oil but the new nuclear energy in that it is unlimited and in its capacity to cause harm (1) .

    In fact, since the 1960s, the following terms have come and gone at a rapid pace: data base, datawarehouse, databank, datamining, datamart, data store, big data, data lake, dataset, all #Anglo-Saxon sounding terms with sometimes more or less successful attempts at translations into other languages.

    But since the dawn of time, data has been the basis of #communication and the transmission of #knowledge between #humans, which evolved in four stages, oral, written, printed and digital.

    Africa?

    The African enjoys less of the advantages of being connected to the rest of the world than he suffers the #disadvantages. On a #cultural level, today's young African is likely to know more about the #British #Empire than about the Empire of #Ghana. He is more likely to have heard of #Napoleon #Bonaparte than of #Sundiata #Keita, the founding king of the great empire of #Mali. He will certainly have heard of #Elon #Musk as the richest man on the planet, but not of Mansa Musa, king of Mali in 1312 and probably the richest man who ever lived. And if he heard of #Léopold #Cedar #Senghor or #Félix #Houphouët-Boigny it will surely be thanks to the #Western #Media Through their prism.
