Had a productive meeting with President @SuluhuSamia. Thanked her for championing maternal and child health in #Tanzania and across Africa. @WHO will continue to support this lifesaving effort.
We also discussed the impacts of the climate crisis and El Nino on health, as well as the importance to finalise the WHO Pandemic Agreement annex on Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing.

Uganda’s refinery will be built, and our cooperation with Tanzania on Tanga stands. There is no harm in having more refineries in the region. What Africa needs is value addition, industrialisation and bigger integrated markets.
East African political integration must ultimately be treated as a matter of strategic survival.

Ethiopia loses $1.0 billion a year to medical care abroad, even routine check-ups. Thousands of Ethiopians travel abroad every year for medical care, even for routine annual check-ups.
It's great to see Dr. Akeza Teame, whom I know very well, and his team, keep investing to reverse this trend. I've watched his steady progress since he returned from the U.S. two decades ago and opened a small clinic in the basement of an old building.
Hats off to Dr. Akeza and his partner and wife, Melat.

African countries with the most Internet Exchange Points (IXPs)
1. 🇿🇦 South Africa: 6
2. 🇳🇬 Nigeria: 5
3. 🇰🇪 Kenya: 4
4. 🇹🇿 Tanzania: 4
5. 🇨🇩 DR Congo: 3

An IXP is a place where internet providers connect and exchange data directly. This helps local internet traffic stay local, making connections potentially faster, cheaper and more reliable.
More IXPs can help countries keep internet traffic within their own networks instead of routing it through distant countries.

A billionaire sat in a room for 42 minutes and listed every psychological trick that makes people lose money. for free. the finance industry has spent thirty years pretending this recording does not exist.
he didn't sell a course. he didn't write a newsletter. he sat in a chair at 96 years old and explained why brilliant people do the dumbest things with their money. then he explained why they will keep doing it.
MBA programs charge $200,000 to teach behavioral finance. he covered 25 biases in one sitting. some of them are still not in any curriculum. he gave the entire framework away on camera.
the part nobody talks about: he called crypto antisocial. he said index funds will crush most managers. he said private equity is full of wretched excess. he said all of this in a room full of people who manage money for a living. nobody argued.
a hedge fund analyst at a top firm told me this is the first thing they send to anyone who joins the desk. not a book. not a model. a 42-minute video of a 96-year-old man explaining why you will be wrong and how to recognize it before it costs you everything.
40 million people have heard his name. almost none of them have watched him explain the 25 ways their own brain is working against them.
the lecture is free. he died the following year. it is in the video.
