>> The program promotes cultural exchange and economic collaboration but does not introduce special visas or immigration policies.
>> [Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs] … clarified that there are no plans to introduce measures promoting immigration or to issue special visas for African residents, stressing that recent reports suggesting otherwise are inaccurate.

Le « journal de vol » d’un projet de contributions au libre au Burkina Faso : Librefaso.
Je ne crois pas que ce projet bénéficierait de l’intérêt qu’il mérite de la part de la communauté libriste européenne, ce qui doit être extrêmement frustrant en raison notamment des taux de change gigantesques pour un projet somme toute planétaire, et donc de potentialités immenses, que tentent tant bien que mal de faire éclore les personnes à l’origine de ce projet.
Je rappelle que l’extrême-droite états-unienne, elle, s’intéresse à l’Afrique, et a notamment rendu les pratiques homosexuelles passibles de peine de mort au Nigéria. Si nous voulons mettre en place l’infrastructure nécessaire pour corriger ce qui me semble être la faille la plus grave aujourd’hui de la Constitution française, qui est le minage du droit de grève en tant que pouvoir constitutionnel de veto populaire par les médias bourgeois, en ataquant sans relâche le développement syndical français par l’antagonisation et l’individualisation de nos concitoyen·nes, nous devrions prendre en charge, sérieusement, activement, dans nos conférences, dans notre militantisme, dans nos hackerspaces, dans nos projets AFK, dans nos syndicats, le racisme.

Africa can electrify without dismantling entrenched ICE infrastructure and culture. Small vehicles and informal networks are the leverage point.
In East and West Africa, electrification can focus on boda-bodas, okadas, tuk-tuks, and minibuses not private cars.

#DeclassifiedUK | ‘Humanitarianism’ in Gaza distracts from getting justice
"Take the Daily Express article titled ‘The suffering of little Muhammad clinging on to life in Gaza hell shames us all’, accompanied by an image of an emaciated child. Hailed as a shift in editorial stance, it came after the paper repeated claims made by Israel – not supported by independent evidence – that Hamas “deliberately hides behind civilians or beneath hospitals” and steals aid.
While the article expresses horror at Gaza’s conditions, it omits key causes: Israel’s blockade, the obstruction of aid and the inadequacies of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The silence practically deflects blame from Israel."
