🚨 Check out our interview with @AhmedKaballo, CEO of @african_stream, discussing why his platform was banned on socials, the need for anti-imperialist voices in African media, and why independent outlets must find new spaces to share their content.

Don’t even know what to say about this one. I want to run around handing out copies to people on the street. I’m grinning and nodding my head maniacally as I read. Haven’t been so activated by a novel in I don’t know how long. Go read The Obscene Bird of Night for your own sake.

Frédéric Mitterrand's 1982 documentary and eponymous 1983 book explore Somalia through the eyes of a dejected lover. Mitterrand weaves together the personal and the collective, creating a unique tapestry of emotions, dreams, and anxieties, where he and Somalia mirror each other.

As the Somali community in the US becomes more established, the formerly ironclad relationship between them and the Democrats is beginning to show signs of strain in some quarters. Trump has surprisingly been making inroads.

Somaliland now the hottest, most coveted geostrategic real estate in Africa.

In this piece, Indian analyst Samir Battacharya writes on why Berbera port & corridor ideal for India to 'counter China', offers better prospects than 'overcrowded' Djibouti.

It rings true in many aspects. I believe it's a matter of who you are, what you want, and if you're willing to go and achieve it. The French author Michel Houellebecq, in his novel The Elementary Particles (Les Particules élémentaires), published in 1998, discusses sexuality within a capitalist and competitive world, arguing that even sexuality has become a field of competition and inequality.

One of his key quotes:

'In an economic system where competition is the governing law, various domains of life—especially sexuality—cannot escape this process. Just as hyper-modern capitalism creates a concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, it also creates a concentration of sexual attraction in the hands of a few. In our society, some people have sex regularly, others occasionally, and others not at all.'"

TPLF has a long history of internal factionalism. The recent issues surrounding the Pretoria agreement, which ended the 2 year war in Tigray, are best understood in relation to the dispute that fractured the party in the early 2000s.
