Earlier today, the Board of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) officially approved the establishment of the Blue Green Bank, which will be headquartered in Barbados.

This will be a game changer, giving us the ability to better finance climate resilience and action.

Namibia to auction 5G spectrum

The Communications Regulatory Authority of Namibia (CRAN) has announced plans to auction the 3.5GHz spectrum band for the implementation of 5G networks.

The regulator's decision aligns with the spectrum management regulatory framework and roadmap outlined in the 2022-2024 spectrum assignment strategy.

To fulfil its potential 5G needs, much higher frequencies above 3.5GHz are needed.

Very proudly Namibian today. I’m also very grateful to live in a constitutional democracy where the rights of minorities are protected because I believe (and I may be wrong) that parliament would not have passed a law which would have allowed this to happen. #LoveWinsNA🏳️‍🌈🌈

Good morning,

From Africa’s second country to recognized same-sex marriages concluded abroad: Namibia- land of the brave and home of the Born-FREE.

Dear Queer child, go take up space and love FREELY. This is what democracy looks like. #OmashengeOvanhu

This is terrifying: a marketer pinged me for quote permission — common for a journalist. Only I didn’t recognize the text as something I’d ever said. Pumping it into Google returned nothing.

I asked where he got it: ChatGPT. AI fabricated a quote and attributed it to me.

What a photo. In S.Korea, a growing number of venues like cafes, casual bistros, or even public libraries ban children under the "no kids" banner, supposedly not to inconvenience other patrons. One MP criticized the "exclusionary" practice in a presser, with her toddler in tow.

I’m a big fan of Mikel but not sure he’s earned the “Wenger of our times” title yet 🤔

[Mutesi Marion Trish @Mutesimarion_]

I insist that Arteta is undoubtedly better than Erik ten Hag at the moment . Arteta has transformed Arsenal club and the quality of football played, than Man U which hasn’t recovered since Ferguson’s exit in 2013.

Arteta is the Wenger of these times !

[WelBeast @WelBeast]

The key thing is that we have made massive improvements. Mikel Arteta has done well considering the squad he has. Whether we win the league or not, I'm proud of these players and the manager. We're a work in progress and I couldn't be more excited for the future.
