The UNSC demands the end of #elfasher siege. I hope you’ve heard of it. It’s the capital of N #Darfur. Surrounded by RSF fighters amidst #sudan ‘s horrific war. Was a humanitarian hub but everyone still alive is trapped in a deadly nightmare. Tanzil is out, her family is not.

South African news site hit by cyberattack shortly after publishing a story on India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi's perceived snub at being greeted on touchdown by a cabinet minister, though the South African deputy president's office denies any upset. xitter.cf/dailymaverick/status/1…

1/ Earlier today (Wednesday, 23 August), Daily Maverick published a story about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's refusal to leave his aircraft at Waterkloof Air Force Base because the South African government had only sent a Cabinet minister to officially welcome him.

🌍 In sub-Saharan #Africa, an estimated 600 million people lack access to #energy. ⚡ Electrifying the region would cost $20 billions a year, which becomes even more complex if we push for greener energy. @GCSF24 talked to @nj_ayuk, the chairman of the African Energy Chamber ⤵️

Africa is the poorest continent in energy, what are its goals?
