"Former African Union ambassador to the US says US government’s aid agency had a ‘major meddling agenda’ across Africa."

"Chihombori-Quao tells host Steve Clemons that USAID doesn’t have much to show for its decades of education and healthcare projects in Africa and often destabilised countries under the guise of environmental, human rights or social justice agendas."

Airtel & Jio’s partnership with #Musk is surprising. Just before #Trump tariffs on April 2.

“ #Starlink has disrupted markets by offering cheaper internet than local providers, as in #Africa.

I contributed an essay to this book, which is a collection of academic-type writings by Africans who write speculative fiction, on their influences and worldbuilding and such things. I particularly talk about how my research into pre-colonial African cultures inspired me to imagine a future without central governments, where technology has enabled direct democracy. It's now a a Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Finalist!

Mahmoud Ahmed is a national icon of Ethiopia, a musician who rose to prominence during the time of Haile Selassie, and whose songs are known by every generation, though he hasn’t released a new track in decades. Now, he’s retiring, and @thecontinent spoke to him days before his final concert in Addis Ababa. Here’s the interview — writer Maya Misikir suggests listening to it accompanied by Ahmed’s most famous track, “Tizita,” (sometimes known as “Tezeta”) which is a song about nostalgia.
