Hippy Steve@ai6yr You may have missed all the flooding in Northern Africa too. It's not an area where a cursory look at western media would alert one too. https://www.africanews.com/2023/11/16/floods-at-least-111-dead-and-700000-displaced-in-the-horn-of-africa-ngo/

@DavidBruchmann @exador23 my friend @laureen keeps tabs on Africa, but she's not posting here much (yet). Maybe she can suggest some sources I can auto-feed to my instance for some high level monitoring there.
@DavidBruchmann @exador23 Growing up in the US, I don't think I ever had to learn where countries were in Africa while in school. Europe, yes (because of WW2). Only places the US fought wars in or conquered, really.
