I was granted two impressive days with @ABaerbock in West Africa! Watch the report here:

[DW Politics @dw_politics]

Migration and security were the main concerns of German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on a visit to West Africa.

Her aim: strengthening Berlin's ties with its democratic partners in an unstable region.

As part of Deutsche Welle's recently announced budget cuts, the sports department is set to lose 75% of its budget.

This means that I'm likely to lose my job as a football reporter and editor at DW in 2024, along with most of my @dw_sports colleagues.

Wow. This quote from Jacinda Ardern’s resignation: ‘Hope I leave New Zealanders with a belief that you can be kind but strong, empathetic but decisive, optimistic but focused...that you can be your own kind of leader, one who knows when it’s time to go’..

Escaping the war in #Ukraine: Nigerian student Olawale Abdulmajeed told me how. Now he’s restarting his life. But that’s not easy at all, he tells ⁦@DeutscheWelle⁩ . Check his story out: https://t.co/yls3Q9H8mY

These abstentions from African countries are quite disturbing. I’m disappointed 😔. Aside from the abstentions, 143 countries have made their voice clear : Putin and #Russia are on their own.

From Dnipro to Dordrecht: Nigerian medical student Olawale Abdulmajeed fled the war in Ukraine and is trying to build a new life in the Netherlands. He told DW's @Silja_Frh how he experienced the start of the war – and what his plans are for the future.📽️ https://t.co/b5YlgqMvcD

Mainsplain: to explain something to a woman in a condescending way that assumes she has no knowledge about the topic. #itsathing #mansplain

@KukwaNelson @whiteheadcomm I would like to understand this better.😊 How is the demand to account for your doings an issue if it affects others? Isn’t that what law, society and even a functioning democracy does? I wouldn’t call that drama but integrity.

[Silja Fröhlich @Silja_Frh]

Whenever a man calls you hysterical in a discussion: For centuries, doctors diagnosed #women with "#hysteria," an alleged mental illness that discussed away any behaviors or symptoms that #men... simply found unpleasant. Meaning: they are running out of arguments. 😂 #sisterhood

[Silja Fröhlich @Silja_Frh]

Gender-based violence includes many types of abuse — like physical, sexual and emotional violence. It also includes threats of violence, coercion and manipulation. Victims can suffer severe psychological and physical trauma. #gbv #sisterhood #speakup #strongertogether
