For 450 years, the world's most-used map has made Africa look smaller than it really is. The UN just voted to change that.
Al Jazeera’s Basel Ghazoghli breaks it down and goes back 450 years to show how the map was made — and why it stuck.

One of the most important principles of the Pfumvudza/Intwasa conservation agriculture system is the maintenance of the same planting plots year after year.

Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.”
“We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual.
“And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”

🚨 BREAKING:
THE UNITED NATIONS HAS ADOPTED THE NEW WORLD MAP SHOWING THE TRUE SIZE OF AFRICA THANKS TO TOGO WHO PUSHED THE RESOLUTION.
THE CURRENT MAP FOR CENTURIES WAS DELIBERATELY DRAWN TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK AFRICA IS AS SMALL AS ICELAND WHEN IT IN FACT IS MORE THAN 14 TIMES BIGGER AND EUROPE, THE US, INDIA AND CHINA CAN FIT INTO AFRICA ALL AT ONCE.
THE RESOLUTION WAS VOTED MASSIVELY IN FAVOUR AND ONLY THE USA VOTED AGAINST IT.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA FOR RECLAIMING THEIR RIGHT AND THANKS ESPECIALLY TO THE REPUBLIC OF TOGO FOR MAKING THE MOVE 👏👏👏

Barack Obama says women literally grabbed his butt while he was president and jokes the Secret Service wasn't about to tackle the old ladies doing it.
"By the time people really knew who I was, I was 43 years old. I was married, had 2 kids... So that kind of attention, by the time I got it, I wasn't tripping on it."
"There are times where women have acted in somewhat inappropriate ways. There are pictures on the internet of women grabbing my butt. And I was president at the time."
Ryan Clark: "Why was the Secret Service..."
"Well, it's like old ladies and stuff, so they're not gonna wrestle them down on the ground."
"My wife is such an extraordinary woman, such an amazing partner, that you just try to stay focused."
"And kids change your life, the idea of disappointing your kids, I ain't going there."

As we anticipate a drier season ahead, one of our key pillars is to increase the contribution of Pfumvudza/Intwasa to national food security. We are targeting 1 million hectares under Pfumvudza. The rollout must be done now, while it is dry, to ensure we are ready when the rains come! @MoLAFWRD_Zim

The Success of Pfumvudza/Intwasa is not only determined by proper implementation, but also by consistent using the same permanent plot season after season.

#LakeKariba #FerryAccident Search and rescue operations are underway in search of survivors in the RIDA owned boat that capsized on LakeKariba near LongIsland with at least 119 passengers and crew and a yet to established number of children on board.Over 70 persons still missing – at Harare, Zimbabwe
Bad weather can be a factor, but clearly the vessel is overloaded and this creates additional challenges in case of an accident – at Harare, Zimbabwe
📹 SECONDS FROM DISASTER: A video has emerged showing the rickety Mbuya Nehanda ferry setting sail on Lake Kariba shortly before it capsized today with 95 people officially reported to be on board.
In the footage, a speaker expresses concern about a phenomenon known as the “Binga Wave,” which appears to have been active at the time.
The ferry operated between Kariba town and rural communities across the lake.
People involved in the rescue operation are questioning the police account that there were 90 passengers and five crew members on board, suggesting the actual number could have been higher.
At least 54 people have been rescued, according to responders.
#LakeKariba #Accident the RIDA boat accident evokes memories of the 1995 #LakeChivero boat accident that killed 22 school children on an end of year outing. Like in the 1995 accident, the Kariba boat was overloaded. In both cases, crew placed financial benefits ahead of safety. – at Harare, Zimbabwe
