jesus christ, the french government has decided to refuse to grant any entry visas to the citizens of mali, burkina faso and niger "with no exceptions". not only that, they've given the orders that all artistic/cultural collaborations or hosting of artists who happen to be citizens of these countries should also be suspended, and any subvention or financial support to structures that collaborate with either their governments or citizens must cease immediately. (i do not know if this only linked to artistic/cultural projects or if this includes ngos or even like. local groups/associations in france of malian/nigeriens/burkinese people who live here. i have no idea what's going to happen to these immigrants in france who don't have french citizenship--are their visa renewals going to be denied? will they be expelled? this is horrifying. the french government is essentially enraged that its former colonies are kicking it out and is punishing them and their citizens in france in return.
EDIT: fash and white supremacists found this post, im locking down the notes.

the 10 crises the world must not look away from:
1. SUDAN
24.8 million people in need of humanitarian aid. a still-escalating war brings sudan to the top of the watchlist. fighting has more than doubled humanitarian needs in less than a year and displaced 6.6 million people- bringing the country to the brink of collapse. more people are internally displaced within sudan than in any other country on earth. in darfur, human rights groups have reported mass killings and forced displacement along ethnic lines.
2. PALESTINE
3.1 million people in need of humanitarian aid (gaza and the west bank). gaza enters 2024 as the deadliest place for civilians in the world. i*****i airstrikes and fighting have had a direct and devastating impact on civilians that will continue to grow as hostilities persist into early 2024, at least. with more than 18,700 palestinians killed, 85% of the population displaced, and over 60% of gaza's housing units destroyed, people living in gaza will struggle to recover and rebuild their lives long after the fighting ends.
3. SOUTH SUDAN
9 million people in need of humanitarian aid. the war across the border in sudan threatens to undermine south sudan's fragile economy and could add to political tensions in the run-up to the country's first-ever elections. meanwhile, an economic crisis and increased flooding have impacted families' ability to put food on the table. a predicted fifth year of flooding could also damage livelihoods and drive displacement.
4. BURKINA FASO
6.3 million people in need of humanitarian aid. as the burkinabè military struggles to contain armed groups, violence is rapidly growing and spreading across the country. roughly 50% of the country is now outside government control.
5. MYANMAR
18.6 million people in need of humanitarian aid. the conflict in myanmar has spread significantly since the military retook political power in 2021. 18.6 million people in myanmar are now in need of humanitarian assistance - nearly 19 times more than before the military takeover. myanmar has seen decades of conflict, but in oct. 2023, three major armed groups resumed clashes with the government. over 335,000 people have been newly displaced since the latest escalation began.
7. MALI
6.2 million people in need of humanitarian aid. dual security and economic crises are driving up civilian harm and humanitarian needs. conflict between the military government and armed groups will likely escalate.
8. SOMALIA
6.9 million people in need of humanitarian aid. somalia faces heightened conflict and climate risks after a record drought. more recently, widespread flooding has displaced more than 700,000 people and will likely continue into early 2024.
9. NIGER
4.5 million people in need of humanitarian aid. a coup in july 2023 triggered massive instability that risks a rapid worsening of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the country.
10. ETHIOPIA
20 million people in need of humanitarian aid. communities across the country are facing the twin threats of multiple conflicts and the likelihood of el niño-induced flooding. the nov. 2022 ceasefire between the government of ethiopia and the tigray people's liberation front (TPLF) continues to hold in northern ethiopia, but other conflicts, particularly in the central oromia region and in amhara in the northwest, are fueling humanitarian needs and raising the risk of a return to large-scale fighting.
11. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
25.4 million people in need of humanitarian aid. weak state capacity has exposed many congolese to one of the world's most protracted crises, driven by conflict, economic pressures, climate shocks and persistent disease outbreaks. now, a resumed offensive by the M23 armed group is driving up conflict and humanitarian needs. the country enters 2024 with 25.4 million people in need of humanitarian assistance - more than any other country on earth. the magnitude of the crisis has strained services, created high levels of food insecurity and fueled the spread of disease.

some of the architecture of zinder, niger. zinder rose from a small hausa village into an important center of trans-saharan trade during the 18th century, culmunating in it becoming the capital of the sultanate of damagaram in 1736.
#niger#hausa#architecture#my posts#in case you didn't know: hausa is a part of the afroasiatic language family (same family semitic langs are in)#there's a lot of theories about how exactly afroasiatic speakers spread & there isn't a consistent cultural/migration pattern#like w/ indo-euro languages#but hasua is probably to arabic/hebrew/syriac what english is to bengali or assamese (except even less similar)#i can pick out some hausa words myself ('sama' is 'heaven') but tbh im not sure how many are loadwords from arabic (since they use#'dunya' for 'world' for example). most hausa are muslim so itd make sense if they took some arabic words

Do people even realize how badly Russia is fucking up the whole continent of Africa right now?
The 2020 coup in Mali was encouraged by if not outright engineered by Russia.
Same with Burkina Faso in 2021...
Niger in 2023...
And now they're trying to go for Chad.
https://adf-magazine.com/2023/03/wagner-group-targets-chad-for-sahel-expansion/
They're backing the RSF in Sudan, which are Arab-dominated forces carrying out a genocide against the Masalit tribes...
And stealing oil from Libya in order to fund the RSF.
