Liberia's "carbon credit" deal with a little-known Dubai company has stalled after over two years, with other accords with the company across Africa and elsewhere having also gone nowhere. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/11/26/climate-change/africa-carbon-deals/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #africa #carbon #climatechange #environment #liberia #unitedarabemirates

Siendo francos, aunque es triste que #trump desconociera que el inglés es idioma oficial en #liberia , la verdad es que probablemente la mayoría de los indignados tampoco lo supieran y dudo que fueran capaces de ubicar ese país en un mapa.

Lo que debería molestar no es tanto eso, sino que, aún teniendo #trump razón y aun si Joseph Boakai hubiera aprendido el inglés como segunda lengua, el acto en su totalidad no deja de ser insultante. Se trata de un hombre adulto, formado (seguramente más formado que Trump), que es el presidente de un país soberano, ¿por qué debería sorprender que hable bien inglés? Lo que parece ser un halago (y quizás en la mentalidad racista y egocéntrica de Trump sinceramente lo fuera) no deja de evidenciar, al mismo tiempo, el trasfondo colonialista que sigue teniendo la relación entre EEUU y los países africanos y al que tristemente algunos líderes africanos no tienen otra opción que someterse.

Trump elogia al presidente de Liberia por su ‘inglés hermoso’ - The New York Times
