Before we publish a claim as true, we must establish what we know, how we know it, and what evidence supports that claim africabrief.substack.com/p/a…
Very well deserved for a true servant of humanity

Tech has arrived before society agree rules and values to govern it. The urgent question is whose knowledge these systems carry, whose languages they understand, whose problems they solve and whose interests they serve. Africa must fight for its place. africanviewbycalyo.com/viewB…

the people building technology, those living with its consequences, and those shaping its rules rarely meet early enough….#AfroFrequency is a way to change this. Thank you @pthigo for feeding the fire!

As #ACHPR87OS draws to a close, TAEF is building alliances and structures to ensure that freedom of media in Africa is just not about good bytes, but concrete and substantial actions that accrue real benefits to journalists” - TAEF President @OtienoC
Brian Kagoro was due to speak at the #AfricaEditorsCongress but was blocked by this unacceptable action. The LSK’s intervention has our full support. Civic actors must not be subjected to arbitrary detention, opaque deportation or intimidation. Due process is not optional.
