You want to know how corrupt Europe is? Well After Algeria beat west Germany in 1982, Germany and Austria conspired to fix the score so that Algeria wouldn’t make it to the knockout stage.

"Ghanaians are gone now, 300 of them. How many 300 jobs were created after the Ghanaians left."

Julius Malema says blaming migrants for job losses deepens colonial divisions and that Ghana’s response risks blaming entire societies for the actions of a few people.

The current Ebola outbreak is a reminder that health security depends on early detection, rapid response, strong surveillance systems, laboratory readiness & clear public communication.

I contributed to this DW News Africa segment with Eddy Micah Jr., sharing a public health perspective on Ebola preparedness across Africa.

You've listened to @caroltheka talk about the environment. You've seen the passion in her eyes when she narrates restoration of key bioecosystems in her country, 🇲🇼 (https://t.co/mcybniFJNf) and her desire to see more people understand the need to proactively take care of the environment.

This Thursday, May 28, she talks about the human tendency to destroy our own environments, and what lessons we can take from past case studies.

Watch here (https://t.co/QBTU2rOuW9) as she passionately speaks about our relationship with mother earth, sometimes greatly flawed.

When I advocate for seed sovereignty in Kenya, this example from Nigeria illustrates it perfectly.

Communities must always control,breed,share,sell and exchange their indigenous seeds.

Indigenous seeds have been tested and tried through generations and our climate.

[Slim @onu_slim]

Let me tell you how it happened. Nigeria’s ginger export hit zero from N26 billion within 3 years.

The official story blames fungal blight.

But here is what actually happened. When Nigerian farmers lost their indigenous seed supply, grant-aided interventions arrived with replacement seeds.

An associate professor at Lagos Business School flagged publicly that some of those interventions involved GMO organisms that weakened indigenous crops and compromised soil health.

That is not a conspiracy theory because it is a documented academic concern.

Now that Nigeria spoke got destroyed by the GMO seedlings….what is not the result?

Nigeria was forced to import ginger from China to fill domestic demand. Chinese ginger has none of the pungency, oleoresin content, or quality that made Nigerian ginger a global premium product. And the ginger now sitting in Nigerian markets tastes like wood because it essentially is wood.

The two indigenous varieties that built Nigeria’s global ginger reputation, the Tafin Giwa and Yatsun Biri, had decades of soil relationship and quality built into them.

Once the soil was degraded and those seed varieties were displaced, the product that returned was a pale imitation. Nigeria did not just lose a market. It lost a seed. And without a National Ginger Seed Bank, which nobody has built, it may never fully get it back.

BREAKING: Angry locals tried to forcibly take the body of man believed to have died of Ebola in northeastern DRC. 2 tents treating patients were set on fire.

Some believe that Ebola is a "white man's disease" though it often spreads at funerals. Uganda has suspended DRC flights

South Africa’s US$2.5 million contribution to support the Ebola response in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda comes at a critical moment for the continent.

At a critical moment for our continent, this contribution strengthens life-saving response operations and reaffirms what African solidarity looks like in action, reinforcing our systems, and helping to contain the outbreak.

Africa CDC commends this timely leadership and encourages continued contributions to the Africa Epidemics Fund to sustain and scale ongoing efforts.

BREAKING

Ebola has now reportedly spread to Butembo, one of the central urban flashpoints of the 2018–2020 epidemic.

An American doctor is among the newly confirmed cases.

[Gerald Mboowa @GeraldGmboowa]

Initial genomes from the May 2026 Bundibugyo virus disease outbreak in DRC & Uganda are now available.

Sequencing by INRB in DRC and CPHL in Uganda shows the current outbreak genomes form a distinct cluster from previous BDBV outbreaks in Uganda 2007 & DRC 2012, supporting a new spillover event.

This is a strong example of rapid cross-border genomic surveillance informing epidemic preparedness & response (https://t.co/zb81Y1ji6Z).
