Q. Who was the richest person who has ever lived?

(CLUE: He was African).

A. Mansa Musa, emperor of the West African Mali Empire.

Most of his wealth came from gold & salt.

Comparatively he was twice as wealthy as @JeffBezos. A new film tells his story.

#BurkinaFaso: "Members of parliament voted unanimously on January 21 in favor of arming civilians, a measure they believed would help combat armed groups." Dangerous at so many levels. Personally I am asking where the weapons will be coming from!! #Sahel https://t.co/o8y3c0KN3N

Look at the escalation of killings in the 3 countries of W Sahel: no wonder hundreds flee their homes, sometimes their countries every day. Insecurity, terrorism, climate factors, poverty and the education gap are creating a huge humanitarian emergency. And it is getting worse!

#Sahel: Czech Republic’s defense ministry plan to deploy troops to the African continent was on Monday approved by the government. The service members will join Operation #Barkhane. Still needs parliamentary approval. #Mali https://t.co/3C8LGunLEc

She has the right to #education, as do all children.

Yet, the schools for 650,000 children have been closed due to violence in #BurkinaFaso, #Mali and #Niger.

Attacks on schools must end. #EducationCannotWait for any child.

“Gender-based violence is not recorded for many reasons, including the lack of justice system, the cultural difficulties for women to talk about it, and the risk of exclusion they face.” @UNOCHA provides an update on the situation in #Mali.

[Rida Lyammouri @rmaghrebi]

#BurkinaFaso: Silgadji village in Soum Province, #Sahel Region attacked by unknown gunmen, 10 to 30 civilians killed (executed) under unclear circumstances. Militants are the easy target to blame but might be more complexe than that.
