📍 South Sudan through my lens📸

Probably one of the best World Cup Squad photoshoots. I love it when countries lean into their heritage and cultural identity.

Norway is coming🇳🇴

@Oyitisammy You’re stupid if that is how you boil down our ancestral pastoral way of life. Read a book, dumbass!

[Meja|梅贾🇸🇸🇰🇪🇨🇦 @75Meja]

We aren’t dominating the beef industry in the region, because most of our herders keep beautiful cows as a cultural lifestyle, not as disposable economic assets.

Horn, stature and colour aesthetics over quantity and profits.

[Barak @Barak_dm]

@BoardLotSultan Lots of untapped potential in South Sudan. They have some of the largest cattle herds on earth.

@Sdet_M @salty_oysters 1000 corrupt gov’t officials, just to get the message across. Is that too much to ask?

@afroarcHQ Great job summarizing this. @sighahh 👆🏿

[AfroArc @afroarcHQ]

black people have a serious problem many have no courage to admit
arabian imperialism & the issue of Islam
it is worse than any other issue black people have ever faced

it completely destroys & erases identities & common sense,
it has no compassion, & it uses fellow black people to front, carryout & justify it's evils

it is an ideology that psychologically captures its targets & demands blind loyalty to the point of inhumanity

this is the reason no islamists can truly support any cause which is not Islamic
they cannot be a true pan africanist
they cannot be truly anti black oppression which happens in the arab world or in America
they are always puppets of their arabian slave masters first,
they are always Muslim first
before humanity & everything

psychologically captured,
by arabian imperialism

@tomatomact17715 Putting his “door” in quotes is pretty insulting to my semi-nomadic pastoral kinsmen 😂

[Meja|梅贾🇸🇸🇰🇪🇨🇦 @75Meja]

The typical Nilotic pastoralist flips out over a suggestion to sell his herd to be chopped up in order to improve his living conditions.

He would rather live on $1/day, keep 3-4 tired garments in rotation and walk barefooted.
But proud enough to show off his 1000-strong herd.

@75Meja True, Cattle is a cultural and emotional statement in our pastoralist communities. They make nyama expensive for nothing. I'd go to Mongolia some day and eat the hell out nyama.

@ggrinch57 Standard comment from a Sudanese dude.

[Meja|梅贾🇸🇸🇰🇪🇨🇦 @75Meja]

@WillKnocker @Zichivhu @TiskTusk Smaller breeds, short-horned and ugly looking cows don’t get any respect 😂

[Meja|梅贾🇸🇸🇰🇪🇨🇦 @75Meja]

Formal economic data doesn't do justice to 90% informal economies like ours.
This Ciec Manyiel lad traded 15 cows for this one fancy steer, Mang'ar. The transaction was a handshake, no banks involved.
But as far as international economic data goes, he's living in extreme poverty.

I’m curious, I will read up on it.
But from my observations, it will take a while before it primarily becomes a business.
The government oversight is nonexistent and most educated folks who should be driving the pivot aren’t doing it because the country is still unstable (risky investment).

Watching the NBA finals this year for the first time in a while. Both teams can really shoot the 3 in a hurry. Reminds me of prime Golden State from 10 years ago. Blink and you are 18 points down.

[Meja|梅贾🇸🇸🇰🇪🇨🇦 @75Meja]

@sighahh @ShihabAdDinAhmd It’s crazy how these people swing 360 when one argument fails.

[Meja|梅贾🇸🇸🇰🇪🇨🇦 @75Meja]

@uranus_is_green @cyromasan78133 Clearly, a thorough lesson on the last 250 years of Sudanese history will do you good. You don’t quite comprehend why 98% of us wanted out.
‘Both are not doing well, a better system can built’ lacks substance.

What has become obvious from the ongoing Canadian immigration discourse is that any rules-based system or program only works if all the players have integrity and ALL play by the rules.

If not, the burden of proving dishonesty doesn’t need to fall on the program administrator. Otherwise, cheats can game and exploit all the fairness baked into the system. And the administrator can do nothing without a clear proof.

[Meja|梅贾🇸🇸🇰🇪🇨🇦 @75Meja]

@TheLodai Absolutely, or do the swap at half time. Or at the very least, after the yellow. Defending without fouling when tired comes with experience, he’s raw.

[Meja|梅贾🇸🇸🇰🇪🇨🇦 @75Meja]

Timber’s injury proved costly in the end. I would have started a half-fit Timber in Budapest instead of Mosquera.
I’ve never rated him where tactical discipline and grit are required.

[Meja|梅贾🇸🇸🇰🇪🇨🇦 @75Meja]

A backline of Hincapie, Saliba, Gabriel and a 1-legged Timber is all I wanna see lining up at Etihad.
