Fantastic coverage of the State of Tax Justice in @timesofindia - thank you @LubnaKtoi! #taxjustice2020

Seems legit: Just bankers and tax advisors from Jersey, Isle of Man, Mauritius and City of London telling Africa's ultra high net worth individuals how to use International Finance Centres (e.g. tax havens) for wealth management.

This is an excellent read for an illustration of how Africa is a net creditor to rest of the world https://t.co/NprWykCGx5

Elizabeth Warren's weatlh tax proposal is an historical move. The US led the world toward progressive taxation and the compression of global inequality during the first half of the 20th century. Warren’s proposal will have a major impact around the world. https://t.co/DZzVPphdgr

How can we involve ordinary people from Africa in decisions like this? Is process not as important as content? We compare ourselves so often with EU. They had referendums so that people participated in decisions that affect them. Can we consider doing the same?#AfCFTA2018
