Prof Chris Isike, Visiting Professor at @ALC_KCL keynote examines the possibilities and limits of extractive mediation through the case of the DRC. He also draws an important distinction between states in Africa and African states, reminding us that African agency is both real and constrained.

The African Public Square (APS) is a critical platform to harness Africa’s intellectual power and inter-generaNonal agency to provide new perspectives and solutions to the most pressing issues impacting Africa and the
world today.
APS II is convened with ECOWAS @50 Conference!
Is America captured by Isreal? Under Biden, Netanyahu acted like the world’s leader, and now under Trump, he is practically doing as he pleases making for an interesting research question on international state capture. So I ask again; who controls the world; Trump or Netanyahu?
Food 4 thought: what will happen if NATO suspends the US and admit Ukraine? NATO joins the war directly against Russia raising the possibility of nuclear warfare & WW3? America would be forced to fight either for the West or against Russia? Who would have caused or prevented it?
Trump grumbled about Zelensky’s bitterness towards Putin. That’s understandable given the huge number of Ukrainians Putin has killed. What’s the justification for Trump and Vance’s bitterness towards Zelensky yesterday? The Bidens, Obama, not saying thank you enough?🤔

The Israelis are eliminating one of the last Christian Palestinians strongholds in the West Bank and the place I chose to stay when I was researching the Palestinian Christians in From the Holy Mountain. It is a place with an incredibly ancient history, a cradle of Christianity, and its people have some of the closest DNA matches to the people of the time of Christ. Why is no one reporting this?

On Thursday, October 26, 2023, Dr. Diana Burnett, MPH, from Howard University, USA, delivered a public lecture on:
Exploring Race and Gender-Based Activism for Public Health Promotion in the United States: learnings for South Africa.
ALT This presentation explored how examples of Black activism in the United States have created systems and structures to protect, promote, and preserve the health of their communities in the absence of public health infrastructure or a functioning or just public health system, which has provided the blueprint for the national adoption of health models. It also examined how the work of the Black Panther Party produced the Free Breakfast Program, which is the exact model that led to the United States government’s development of the Free Breakfast program.
