Africanews covers global news too. Same way the BBC covers more than just Britain.

Remember, this is the same government which is relying on Russian troops (formerly Wagner) to hold onto power, and those Russian troops have been slaughtering civilians. So there’s plenty to criticize and discredit.
Analysts cited in the report suggest Vladimir Putin may seek to open a new front rather than risk being remembered as the leader who lost Ukraine
Does Putin play Weiqi/Baduk/Go? A common strategy when a player is losing in one part of the board is for them to open up new “fronts” in other areas of the board, hoping that they’re more successful in one of these other areas and that this will yield a new advantage in the original area they had been losing in. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t; what it usually comes down to is whether they’re able to “read” the game further ahead than the opponent, in the hopes that the opponent won’t see how developments in Area B will affect Area A.
2·6 days agoExcellent. The Dems need to run a young candidate and have her spend the entire campaign focused on discussing her own talking points and with all of her attack ads focused on disparaging JD Vance.

See, this doesn’t really happen to me because doing the dishes is one of my favorite chores. It’s doing the bins that’s a pain in the hole.
At least once that I’m aware of, but I’d certainly believe you if you said there were two other occasions
The Soviet Union was Stalinist, not Marxist. It failed to properly implement Marxism. If you want to stump for a communist system, propose something better than the shitshow that was the 20th century. Aim higher.

I think Greenland should send law enforcement and have them demonstrate as much restraint and accountability as ICE agents do.
Seems to be more severe than usual.
KwaZulu-Natal communities in Impendle, Kokstad and Underberg have been severely hit by heavy snowfall on Tuesday, with some residents even left isolated and unable to communicate with the outside world.
In a statement released on Tuesday, KwaZulu-Natal Transport and Human Settlements MEC Siboniso Duma said teams from the Department of Human Settlements would be deployed to assist communities affected by the extreme weather.
Duma was speaking after inspecting areas around Kokstad that experienced heavy snowfall.
“We wish to single out the Kokstad and Impendle municipalities, where communities have been exposed to severe freezing temperatures,” Duma said in the statement.
He said some homes had been completely blanketed by snow, leaving residents dealing with leaking houses.
“Those houses are leaking as they have been completely blanketed by the snow,” he said.
Duma said communities living below the Drakensberg Mountain in Impendle had been particularly badly affected.
He said heavy snow had weakened network and cellular signals in some areas, leaving residents unable to access emergency services or communicate with people outside their communities.
“There are many other communities in deep rural areas in Underberg, Kokstad and the border between KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape that have been severely affected by the snow,” Duma said.
Human Settlements Minister Thembi Simelane has dispatched a team to join the provincial department’s response efforts.
After all, it’s also normal for Europe to get hotter weather in the summer, but the heatwaves in Europe were deemed newsworthy, even before the wildfires.
Should be word of the decade.
I assume it’s mainly that the amount of people went up more quickly than the amount of homes. Demand goes up while supply stays low, and the result is predictable.
I also assume that this is driven by perverse incentive: pre-existing homeowners want their property to appreciate in value, and so they will oppose attempts to build in order to drive scarcity. They will be particularly incentivized to do this if they bought the property as a speculative investment instead of as a home for themselves.
This type of rampant speculation is driven by the market being largely unregulated. Everywhere in the world but especially in the USA, people are forced to seek reliable high-yield investment in order to fund non-state pensions and afford a decent retirement. Governments desperately need to aid this in order for society to not collapse, and so they are held hostage by their own economies, forced to clear a path for pension funds to seek as much profit as possible.
Hopefully this has been instructive in how you can’t trust the Internet, especially YouTube/TikTok. Since from your perspective I am also an anonymous Internet rando, I suggest that you distrust what I have claimed too, and see for yourself by looking up the movie’s wikipedia article or some other source that’s more trustworthy than an anonymous Internet rando. It’s important to develop that habit - to verify things for yourself, and to figure out which sources you can rely on.
In the Captain America movie we learn that the current [MCU] President was near the same blast that created the first Hulk. Yadda yadda, the President becomes the Red Hulk and ends up in jail. Harrison Ford plays the President and he’s sorrowful for what happened and Captain America is also sad.
No, the president (a formerly retired US army general named Ross who had been hunting the Hulk for years) is revealed to have been holding a character from the first Hulk movie in prison for years without trial and forcing that character (Samuel Sterns, AKA The Leader) to use his incredible genius to do two things: 1 - help him with his heart condition (which was what had forced his retirement in the first place) and 2 - help him win the presidency. It is then revealed that The Leader, instead of simply curing his heart condition, has been seeking revenge by dosing him slowly with a substance that has turned him into another Hulk; this one red.
The Leader then instigates a series of events which politically embarrass Ross and put him under increasing stress in the hopes of triggering a public hulkout which will ruin him. In this, he succeeds, and Captain America is forced to try and stop the Red Hulk somehow without killing him. Cap eventually succeeds in calming him down, at which point he reverts to Ross and is promptly imprisoned in super-jail.
