Ghana has ruled out the automatic renewal of South African company, Gold Fields' mining lease for Tarkwa Mine.

Tarkwa Mine produces $1 billion worth of gold annually with 427,000 ounces of gold in 2025.

The lease will expire next year.

I definitely support a plate number of 01 59 41 for @KejelchaYomif .

[Ola Barnabas @olabarnabas]

@LarryMadowo I hope Yomif gets some good welcome in Ethiopia too. He may not have set a record but he broke a record too.

[Mussarat Zia @mussarat_zia]

@ChrisChavez What great magnanimity. Already a fan of Yomif Kejelcha. The only man never to run a marathon over 2 hours!

[adidas @adidas]

History will always remember Sabastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha.

The first and second athletes in marathon history to break the two-hour barrier. A thrilling new era for running.

@astro_reid In this image, also taken from the Orion capsule, we see the divide between night and day, known as the terminator, cutting across Earth. Whether awake or dreaming, we're all here on this planet together.

[Markos Lemma @eweket]

We’ve come far, but the digital divide is mind-boggling: 2.6 billion(!!!!) people globally still lack internet access; including nearly 100 million in Ethiopia.

Think about everything you do online. For billions, that world doesn't exist yet. Lots of work to do.

With 38.6M registrations, adding 8 million new IDs in just the last 2.5 months is very impressive. @IDethiopia

Example of an International media is doing narrative work, not evidence-based reporting. Funny.

Reuters admits:
•It could not independently verify the purpose of the camp
•It could not independently establish who was there
•It could not confirm the site was military (Janes)
•It could not independently verify UAE involvement
•It could not independently verify what the trucks carried

Yet the article still:
•Confuses correlation with causation
•Confuses presence with purpose
•Confuses allegations with verification
•Treats anonymous sources as proof

There may be an RSF-linked camp, or there may not be.

But the article does not prove it.

The only honest headline is:

“Sources allege Ethiopia hosts RSF-linked camp.”

Anything stronger is narrative, not fact.

[The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia 🇪🇹 @MFAEthiopia]

The Government of Ethiopia has developed and launched a new digital portal, https://t.co/S3Wc7VVNJl, to provide a seamless and efficient experience for media personnel traveling to cover major events and summits, including the African Union (AU) Summit.

The portal has been commissioned with the aim of minimizing direct engagement between media personnel and multiple public offices.

Please note that, effective from 30 January 2026, applications for media accreditation shall be submitted through this single platform in a streamlined and efficient manner.

The water we drink is incredibly old, with much of it being 4.5 billion years old, predating Earth and even the Sun, formed from cosmic dust and gases in the early solar system; and it's constantly recycled.

[Black @LilithBlack25]

So the water on earth today is technically the same water that has been here since the beginning ?
