“When rich countries with well-fed populations oppose greater use of synthetic fertilizer in Africa, it smacks of the same green colonialism that is putting a brake on other aspects of African development in the name of climate policy.” @vijramachandran thebreakthrough.org/journal/no-20-…

Migration friends, can you share any examples of surveys that ask about aspirations or intentions TO STAY instead of or in addition to aspirations or intentions to migrate?

In January 1983, the Nigerian government announced it was expelling the two million undocumented migrants. They had two weeks to get out. But why were there so many migrants in Nigeria?

I'm being followed by many obviously fake female profiles recently, all with either a single post of nonsensical AI generated text or with pictures. They seem easy to weed out. What happened to Musk's claim that he would finally do away with fake profiles?

What an open sewer "X" has become, with "Elon" as all the fanboys reveringly call him leading the way (yes, I should stop looking at the "for you" tab)

A collection of nearly 300 surveys finds that positive views of China among citizens in Africa outweigh negative views by a factor of about 3:1.

Every now and then I am reminded of this enduring tragedy that hasn't budged in nearly 40 years.

Your regular reminder that it wasn’t until the mid 1990s that Africa caught up with Europe’s population. Relatively speaking, there *used to be* a lot of Europeans.

Super low unemployment in the EU. Partially good news, partially just a reflection of an aging region. There are just not enough young workers out there to end up unemployed en masse.
