Excited to see Empower Africa's @shaibrn among the judges for this year's edition of @ExTechChallenge, a virtual regional startup competition.
The first of its kind, the competition has been organized by Atlantica Ventures, @EchoVC Partners, and XTC, a non-profit organization.

Cops initially said he "tripped & fell." He's 75. They pushed him to the ground & walked over him as he was bleeding on the ground. 1. If you take cops at their word, you're nuts. They are much more likely to be lying then telling the truth. 2. They're taught to be this barbaric.
New Tonight: Disturbing video from @WBFO in Buffalo, NY shows an elderly man walk up to police in riot gear. An officer shoves the man...he falls backwards, hits his head...starts bleeding immediately...motionless.
Why did this happen @BPDAlerts ?

Devastating to see the development taking place in the USA.
Centuries of structural and systematic racism and social injustice won’t go away by itself.
We need a global structural change.
The injustices must come to an end. #BlackLivesMatter

Thousands peacefully kneeling in DC remembering George Floyd chanting, “Stop Killing Black People.”
Why isn’t this video viral? Why is the media only interested in talking about isolated acts of vandalism & theft?
We’re here & We ain’t leaving.
