⚠️ Confirmed: Live network data show a major disruption to internet connectivity in #Kenya; the incident comes amidst a deadly crackdown by police on #RejectFinanceBill2024 protesters a day after authorities claimed there would be no internet shutdown 📉

Moria is burning. Multiple fires/ riots in response to extreme lock down, overcrowding, no medical care, no covid protection, no running water. Our governments have failed them. Shame on anyone who does not call out the responsibility where it lies. We knew this was coming.

"The expiration of black and brown lives at sea must be connected to Europe’s border practices and policies, in the same way that Floyd’s death is being connected to racist policing in the US."

Well done indeed @audreylodes with a moving piece on #Covid_19 and the response in #Egyptian #tourism sector.

If you’re wondering what it was like for my family to be one of the last tourists in Egypt and what COVID-19 means for an industry that employs millions, check out my new article 🗺

“Workers without the ability to go online face a catch 22; they’re characterized as either “nonessential”, and face layoffs as their businesses close, or “essential”, and must go to work and face a pandemic or stay home and face similar unemployment.” Well done @sydneyywisee 👏🏻

NEW: #COVID19 has introduced the concept of working from home to many who have never experienced it. But, different industry needs, varying family and gender roles, and a need for interaction may explain why it wasn’t already the norm. https://t.co/wwtgVjZ3sC #workfromhome

. @USAmbUN @USUN @SecPompeo — put aside differences with other Security Council members, and replace it with global solidarity to tackle the shared threat of COVID-19 ahead of trade wars and diplomatic disagreements. We are not safe until everyone is safe.

Friendly tip: For ppl standing in long lines among empty shelves at Costco, Trader Joe’s, etc. your local Asian grocery store may still be well stocked (ours was).

Bonus: you get to support local businesses that may be dealing w racist ripple effects of coronavirus fears.
