I’m excited to announce the launch of the paperback version of my Tangier book in… Tangier. All visitors welcome

[Richard Hamilton @hamilr11]

@Gingersnaptiger Thanks Emma - they sell it in a bookshop in Tangier called Les Insolites. You could try that shopping mall in Rabat but it's probably not arrived yet.

[Richard Hamilton @hamilr11]

The paperback version of my book about the cultural history of Tangier is now officially published.

Wish they’d do this these days.

Houses looted and re-looted, museums targeted, cultural centres destroyed: as @ReemWrites shows the war in #Sudan is destroying the country’s past as well as its present. https://t.co/APyBn6gxGr

The UK has returned 32 royal artefacts looted from Ghana's Asante Kingdom in the 19th Century.

The 150-year old artfacts were returned by the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, but on a three-year loan, not on a permanent basis.

Why has Ed Davey not resigned?
#Resign now.

#SenegalVote: Senegal’s new President Bassirou Diomaye has pledged to work tirelessly to strengthen the country’s democracy,  and ensure its peace and stability. Speaking after taking the oath of office, he emphasised that, Senegal is open to having mutually beneficial relationships with international partners who respect the country’s sovereignty.

And there it is: Amadou Ba has conceded, and Bassirou Diomaye Faye will be #Senegal’s next president - a stunning first round victory.
