Travel Advisory to East #Africa

There is resurgence of Al-Shabaab attacks in recent times particularly on military personnels and their equipments, this doesn't mean soft targets (foreign and local people) won't be targeted.

About 40% of the world’s population cannot access schooling in a language that they understand and that is regularly used in their communities. This figure may be as high as 80% in sub-Saharan Africa.

Atheist experience in Africa | The Guardian Nigeria News (guardian.ng)

This article shows that atheists experience hate and intolerance, physical and psychological mistreatments. This piece argues that the apparent invisibility of atheism in Africa is linked to these experiences. In other words atheists are treated in ways that compel them to hide their atheism.

I believe many from who abandoned will probably embrace by (many are already using Instagram like for what it is worth).

I will try to reintroduce them to the , but this time promote & as viable options.

I believe the window of opportunity for this will be short, as I assume (I have not evidence for this, so be skeptical) Threads will launch managed hosting options within months of entering the Fediverse.

@atomicpoet Oh wow! That is a good question. I am not sure about North America, but I did buy up several .africa domains & I have been pondering about setting up #Fediverse instances to serve non-English communities in #Africa (they would be based upon languages, culture & tribes).

I was debating about hiring developers & designers from AfriBlocks (https://www.afriblocks.com) to build it too. Hosting would legally be tricky though, as every country has different laws.

The Spitzkoppe is part of a group of mountains with volcanic origin. Erosion has given those mountains interesting rounded shapes.

The reddish granite looks phenomenal in sunset or sunrise light.

African leaders came to Ukraine to ask for suspension of Putin’s arrest warrant

The African leaders’ delegation mostly interested in suspending Putin’s arrest warrant

There is one point that worries them and for which, I think, they came:

“Trust comes in small steps: And let’s make one of the points the termination of the ICC warrant issued for Putin’s arrest ..."
