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

SCANDALEUX.🤬😡
edit: ils sont sortis, et leur situation est en train d'être examinée
160 palestiniens qui ont volontairement fui Gaza pour se réfugier en Afrique du sud, coincés dans l'avion. Ils n'ont pas l'autorisation de débarquer.
On attend autre chose qu'un renvoi, de la part de l'Afrique du sud...il semble qu' Israël envoie les volontaires au départ dans les pays sans visa obligatoire pour l'entrée.
Des MONSTRES ces sionistes.

Authorities are currently seeking a solution and are considering sending the plane back to Ramon....

"Memory is not enough. Sympathy is not enough. Watching is not enough. There is no virtue in being historically adjacent to struggle if we only perform its remembrance. To 'stand with Palestine' cannot mean simply attending the talk, posting the quote, or wearing the keffiyeh at the right conference. Liberation is not a brand identity. It requires cost. It requires risk. It requires material consequence, not just moral posturing."

🌍 🇿🇦 Rural women small-scale farmers keep households and local markets going, yet many structural barriers limit their participation and growth. Insecure land rights and gender-blind institutions that treat everyone the same on paper but overlook women’s circumstances end up excluding them from the agriculture industry.
In many communal areas, women lack title deeds or joint ownership, so they can’t pledge land as collateral. Because of this, banks often assess women smallholders as “high risk”, and formal credit remains out of reach. Cooperative boards and agriculture programme committees are largely run by men.

"When discussing #Lithuanian emigration today, Norway or the United Kingdom often come to mind. But 150 years ago, #Lithuanians – and particularly Lithuanian #Jews – were looking much farther afield, to #America, #Palestine and even #SouthAfrica.
#Historians say the great migration of the #19thcentury was driven not only by economic need and political pressure but also by the promise of a more liberal life and the growing influence of global transportation networks."
This was a big chunk of my family. Got here in the 1890s.
