From Nigeria to Kenya, Citigroup’s Daniel Lebetkin has watched investors snap up debt at a blistering pace. One thing hasn’t changed: African nations pay more to borrow. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/11/17/economy/africa-highest-costs-borrow-money/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #africa #kenya #nigeria #southafrica #debt

Operation Southern Spear(ed)
from @katzonearth [he doesn't post here, mostly only on his Substack-hosted blog sadly]
> While Americans have spent the last 24 hours justifiably focused on Trump's exposure in the #epsteinFiles, the president has been increasingly engaged in another dangerous flirtation: with yet another war. The supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford and its strike group are nearing Venezuela, capping off the most significant U.S. military escalation in Latin America since the 1994 U.S. invasion of Haiti. Venezuelan President Nicolás #Maduro has mobilized an estimated 200,000 troops in hopes of staving off regime change. Trump, meanwhile, keeps treating the #Caribbean as his personal shooting gallery, with the death toll from missile strikes on civilian boats he accuses (without offering evidence) of drug smuggling now reaching eighty.
Not just the hey please stop talking about Epstein Files. It's also such an astonishingly major coincidence! that at least three of the countries where Don has begun or is clearly threatening to start wars, all using concocted false pretexts - #Venezuela, #Nigeria, and #Iran - are ALL OIL EXPORTERS.

It's a strange feeling logging onto the news to hear that Trump has just declared war against my country, Nigeria.
On the one hand, it's scary. Cos not only is it the greatest military force in human history, it's the greatest military force in human history at the whim of a madman.
But then he's got such a short attention span that next week he'll be warring against Tatooine.
Nigeria is not perfect. We do have Islamic terrorists. But they kill BOTH Christians & Muslims.
