All around the world, armed Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles, or UAVs, have become a core component of modern warfare. But it was only recently that drones, as they are commonly referred to, began to feature in conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa.

Just because you are queer doesn’t make you automatically kind, emotionally intelligent, progressive, or even more evolved. Honestly tired of reading texts or watching videos that romanticise queer sexuality as a form much tender or morally superior to heterosexual relationships. Sorry, but… no. This assumption abi analysis is not only inaccurate but also dangerously reductive. Queer people, like all people, are shaped by the same societal forces.

Wenn nicht in letzter Minute noch diplomatische Anstrengungen die Wende bringen, dürfte die Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft Westafrikanischer Staaten (ECOWAS) ihr 50-jähriges Bestehen im nächsten Monat nicht nur mit drei Mitgliedstaaten weniger begehen, sondern sich auch mit dem Beginn eines Handelskriegs konfrontiert sehen.

Od jula 2023. 15-člani regionalni blok osnovan 1975.

Unless last-minute diplomatic efforts can save the day, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) looks set to mark its 50th anniversary next month not only three member states short but also facing the onset of a trade war that threatens to undo its decades-long efforts at achieving regional integration and free trade. Since July 2023, the 15-member regional bloc founded in 1975 has been gripped by a crisis of legitimacy over its stance on the wave of military coups in the region.

Über 60 Jahre lang haben die Fossil-Giganten im Nigerdelta mit verheerender Gründlichkeit das schwarze Gold aus der Erde geholt. Jetzt ziehen sie sich zurück – so abrupt wie ein Verbrechersyndikat, das den Tatort verlässt, um andernorts von Neuem zu beginnen. Was sie zurücklassen? Eine zerstörte Umwelt, verseucht von Öl und Chemikalien. Millionen Einheimische, besonders die Landbevölkerung, sollen nun alleine mit den Folgen klarkommen.

In a move redolent of organised crime syndicates, fossil fuel supermajors operating in Nigeria’s oil industry are scrambling to ditch their crime scene, the Niger Delta from which they have been drilling the black gold with devastating effectiveness for 60 years, in order to start afresh somewhere else.
