Reposted by Deshnee SubramanyInstitute for Poverty, Land and Agrarian Studies @plaasuwc.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Up to now, government has chosen a "willing buyer, willing seller" approach, paying at or even above market price.

This week, its government collapsed. And last week, not one but two of its former African colonies told it to get lost. A lot of western analysts are blaming Russia.

Deshnee Subramany @deeshroom.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Incredible. The film history itself feels like this was created by at least six producers.
