The war drums are getting ever louder in #Ethiopia. Here’s a reminder that war is a choice: www.africanistperspective.com/p/conflict-i...

Is Conflict in the Horn of Africa Unavoidable?
Ideas matter. And it's high time key players in the Horn (politicians, academics, journalists, analysts, and military strategists) chose to escape the pro-war shackles of geography and history.

Odd angle on the headline. This feels less like London “missing out” than one of the world’s great athletics nations getting to host. And the first time in Africa, too. It feels about time. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet...

Cameroon women are champions of Africa for the first time. 3-0 win over Malawi in the WAFCON final. Cameroon, Malawi, Algeria and Morocco have qualified for the 2027 World Cup. Ghana and South Africa are in the global playoff. 10x champs Nigeria fail to qualify for the World Cup for the first time.

This is an absolute travesty. Northwestern has, probably, the 2nd best library collection for African History/Studies in the USA (behind Yale and ahead of MSU, UCLA, etc). A self-inflicted wound that is absolutely, 100% unnecessary given the massive wealth of Northwestern--north of $15 billion.

MALAWI DEFY THE IMPOSSIBLE 🇲🇼 In their first WAFCON, the Scorchers—the lowest-ranked team in the tournament—have reached the final. Goals from the Chawinga sisters send Malawi past Algeria, 3-1. An incredible story from a nation determined to make its mark on the world of women’s soccer.

it took a minute, but Malawi have learned they are through to the Quarterfinals of their first-ever WAFCON! they lost 2-1 to Zambia and needed an extremely tight tiebreaker scenario to advance. Tabitha Chawinga scored an iconic goal that made all the difference.

🚨Bruno Guimaraes will undergo his Arsenal medical on Monday after a £77million deal has been agreed with Newcastle. The Brazilian signs a five-year deal with the champions. Done deal. Arsenal have got their man.

Gianni Infantino's #2 quits. Yet another excoriating statement saying it's bad for football. It's bad for member states. It's bad all round. My opinion is - Infantino is on borrowed time now. Absolute shithouse of a man.

Malawi has some impressive midfielders, I think that's part of the story of why they've proved hard to break down so far. would love to see the match open up a bit though

🚨Bukayo Saka is now the fourth highest scorer for England in World Cup history. Only Harry Kane, Gary Lineker and Jude Bellingham have scored more than the Arsenal winger. Bukayo Saka has just overtaken Geoff Hurst with a brace against France.

This has all the hallmarks of a protracted saga. It's useful when the player wants to join/leave, but as the Isak situation last summer showed, it can end up being detrimental even if you get what you want. Let's see how this one plays out!
