#shamjaff — Public Fediverse posts

There are extremely few journalists like #ShamJaff @shamjaff specializing on regions and countries in #Asia, #Africa, and the #Americas that never receive enough media coverage.

Sham is monitoring developments; evaluating, summarizing, and presenting them in an ultra-digestible format that still runs very deep.

She's been publishing her "What happened last week" #newsletter for 12 years in a row, and recently moved it to her own platform, https://gishty.com

She added "The Goodies", a quarterly newsletter dedicated to underreported good news; and "You should probably read", which recommends a non-fiction book.

I can't recommend her newsletters enough, they keep a lot of important things on my radar that I could impossibly keep track of myself.

Good:
"#Malawi just banned the export of raw minerals. The government wants foreign companies to stop digging up its resources and shipping them out for processing elsewhere. Instead, it’s saying: if you want Malawi’s minerals, process them here. Create jobs here.

A reminder that “who owns the minerals” and “who profits from them” are still two very different questions."

#Sudan Doctors Network interview with #ShamJaff: "There are currently no reliable mechanisms in place to accurately reflect the true scale of the crisis in Darfur.
In reality, more than 60% of children in #Darfur, especially in North Darfur, are now suffering from #malnutrition due to extreme food shortages. Any delay in providing assistance to these children and their mothers, or failure to urgently intervene by lifting the siege and supplying food, will result in a catastrophic loss of life.

#Decolonization
"Last Saturday, #France and political representatives from across #Kanaky’s spectrum announced a new agreement. It gives Kanaky more local power, but not full independence. Kanaky (aka #NewCaledonia) would become its own “state” inside France, written into the French Constitution"

Why this matters: Kanaky has 8% of the world’s #nickel. Whoever shapes Kanaky’s political future is also shaping its economic future."

„Und was machst du am Wochenende“ ist einer der wenigen Podcasts, die ich abonniert habe, von dem ich vielleicht nur so 2/3 der Folgen höre. Relativ oft interessieren mich bspw. die Gäste nicht.

Die mit mir unbekannten Leuten höre ich immer. #ShamJaff kannte ich nicht, was mir im Nachhinein vollkommen unbegreiflich ist.

Eine tolle, spannende Frau, die auch noch meinen Humor trifft. Habe jetzt ihren Newsletter abonniert. https://pca.st/episode/0bc3a31d-b5bf-4be9-8401-f70793e383d1
