  5. 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

  29. On the arrest of the #Telegram founder, from the #Africa focused magazine #TheContinent.

    "The case highlights the messiness of social media regulation:
    platform owners earn billions while
    taking no responsibility for harms caused, and surveillance states may use
    that to dismantle user privacy tools, like
    end-to-end encryption."

    I like the presentation of two, apparently irreconcilable, good things:
    Addressing the harms, &,
    Privacy of individuals.

  34. ⬆️ @Ruth_Mottram @thecontinent

    >> Reminder from.the ever excellent @thecontinent that the #Ukraine invasion and conflict with #Russia has long tentacles in #Africa too

    Africa is going to be a major theater in the next global conflict, and Russia is taking large swaths of #theContinent virtually unopposed, as #France, #US, and the West withdraw from #Niger, #Mali, #BurkinaFaso, #Benin, #Togo, …

    That leaves #Wagner, #AlQaeda, #JNIM, and coupist #junta in power over large parts of the continent.

  42. The Continent is a free (of cost, ads and trackers) news publication for Africans by Africans

    The Continent is a weekly newspaper produced by African reporters, photographers, illustrators and editors. It is designed to be read and shared on WhatsApp, Telegram channel, Signal or e-mail, and has become the continent's most widely distributed newspaper.

    It is designed to be read on a mobile screen, with mostly short news pieces of 250 to 400 words, and a few longer pieces of about 900 words. Editions are sent out as a PDF on Fridays.

    Led by a small team of nine (all working remotely) and having published contributions from nearly 200 journalists, writers, photographers and illustrators from across Africa in the past year, The Continent has covered numerous important and urgent stories, starting with reliable information from African researchers and public health experts on the Covid-19 pandemic, and on to other ground-breaking reporting: the injustice of “vaccine apartheid” with rich countries hoarding Covid-19 vaccines; the impact of Nigeria’s sudden and dramatic Twitter ban (applauded by none other than Donald Trump); a tender photo essay on being queer in Uganda, in a country where it is dangerous to be LGBTQ.

    The Continent is published by the All Protocol Observed, a registered non-profit based in South Africa. It was initially funded by the editorial team, but has since attracted donor and commercial funding. So a refreshing difference is no adverts and also no tracking. You receive the PDF weekly via your channel of choice (or you can just download it from their website), and you can reshare this with anyone you wish to.
