https://twitter.com/USEmbassyAddis/status/1689901220167610368?s=20 weird collection of countries for a joint statement on Ethiopia. Maybe this is still being viewed through the lens of relations with China by the west? quote:Fresh Fighting in Ethiopia Leads Israel to Evacuate More Than 200 NYT article out today is decent. ENDF has recaptured some towns.

Punished Turtle posted:this would be highly difficult I don't think a 100 km strip of Somalia is really a large barrier to America's navy doing things in Ethiopia, if that's what you are referring to. The distance between Bahrain (center of the 5th fleet) and Addis Abbaba is coincidentally about the range of an F-35. I guess the far west of the country is out of tomahawk range. Of course it's unlikely for a bunch of other reasons.

Tankbuster posted:sounds like cape town needs actual public transport instead of a patchwork of private minibus corpos. The strike ended on Friday. A 14 day ceasefire. Cape town has some public transport, but they serve mostly the ("previously") white areas. The new Mayor is going all in on infrastructure with a massive investment, and our national rail service, PRASA, has been actually doing some stuff again by opening railway stations in Cape town. But all this is done under a neoliberal context so I'm not holding my breath.

I just found out that South Africa didn't have TV until 1976 because they feared that A: the sight of white and black people inhabiting the same space on American TV shows would lead to race mixing, and B: black South Africans were so poor the white government thought that advertisements would breed resentment among them. And when they did finally get TV they segregated it. There was a TV channel for the whites and a TV channel for the blacks. What a country!

And when they did finally get TV they segregated it. There was a TV channel for the whites and a TV channel for the blacks. Same year the Soweto riots happened, because... Well. The apartheid government purposefully kept Africans as uneducated and impoverished as possible, so that they can be a source of cheap labour for mines and farms. The main sponsor of the National Party was a mining magnate after all. This policy of oppression was a """sensible""" economic decision for mines and farms mostly. However it hinders industrialisation and further economic development when the majority of the population cannot even read. The government kept people uneducated not just by refusing to educate Africans using government funds, but by passing the Bantu Education act which actively stopped anyone from educating Africans. The Anglican church was a major source of education for Africans, but had to do so in secret. Eventually the apartheid government realized they had a shortage of educated labour and started to educate Africans a bit. However they wanted to do it in Afrikaans, which as you can imagine is not sensible for children who don't speak Afrikaans. The youth revolted, leading to the Soweto riots and continued violent clashes for decades. My mother became a teacher in about 1975. The next year, she was told to be careful. She was told to carry a gun and not drive alone at night. She was told that things are suddenly dangerous. But she has no idea why. She did not find out why until a decade or more later. The information segregation in South Africa was intense, and very effective.
