Anselm Kizza-Besigye, who was at my nude protest during my 2019 sentence, critically analyses my feminist praxis @africaarguments. How does one subvert structures of oppressive power? Perhaps, by undressing in court while a magistrate reads one's sentence! https://t.co/3CNM6y7XTF

David Graeber wrote this beautiful little essay shortly before he died. It reads like a final wish. "When this crisis is over, let's promise to create an economy that lets us actually take care of the people who are taking care of us." https://t.co/xJpl4WTzio

We now need to treat the Bovine theileriosis disease outbreak as an EPIDEMIC and give it the attention it deserves. The Blitz tick grease programme is a good starting point but we need to escalate it to COMMAND dipping! @basera_john

Africa’s most fragile & security challenged countries, which tend to be among the poorest, will sit firmly at the back of the queue for access to vaccines. Also, their vaccine roll out plans will be adversely affected by a lack of effective healthcare sectors.

#COVID19 in #Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 may have affected mainly urban areas, but are rural locations at more risk from a 2nd wave?

This might depend on whether people will shift practices to prevent the spread, suggests @IanScoones of @IDS_UK. Read his blog, here: https://t.co/WjmQtzl7cd
