I've read a lot about the measles outbreak in the USA. I first read about the one in Morocco in The Continent. Over 120 people have died.
Hebben jullie trouwens al een abo op The Continent?
Een pan-Afrikaanse krant die het nieuws van dit continent brengt.
The Continent is a weekly newspaper produced by African reporters, photographers, illustrators and editors. It is designed to be read and shared on WhatsApp (and other social messaging platforms), and has become the continent's most widely distributed newspaper.

@thecontinent
On the arrest of the #Telegram founder, from the #Africa focused magazine #TheContinent.
"The case highlights the messiness of social media regulation:
platform owners earn billions while
taking no responsibility for harms caused, and surveillance states may use
that to dismantle user privacy tools, like
end-to-end encryption."
I like the presentation of two, apparently irreconcilable, good things:
Addressing the harms, &,
Privacy of individuals.

>> Reminder from.the ever excellent @thecontinent that the #Ukraine invasion and conflict with #Russia has long tentacles in #Africa too
Africa is going to be a major theater in the next global conflict, and Russia is taking large swaths of #theContinent virtually unopposed, as #France, #US, and the West withdraw from #Niger, #Mali, #BurkinaFaso, #Benin, #Togo, …
That leaves #Wagner, #AlQaeda, #JNIM, and coupist #junta in power over large parts of the continent.
