The Rise of African Telecom: News Article - Independent Institute
Africa’s a land of great untapped potential. The continent is full of natural resources, big cities, and a large, hardworking population. The "untapped"
In 2000, Africa had just 15 million phone lines. By 2025, over 615 million Africans will be online—more than Europe’s population. This isn’t public sector planning—it’s the private sector laying cables, launching satellites, and turning Africa into the world’s fastest-growing digital frontier.

"Erinnerungspolitik nicht verordnen" -Der Historiker Jürgen Zimmerer im Gespräch
Kulturstaatsminister Weimer hat angekündigt, Kolonialismus nicht in das Gedenkstättenkonzept des Bundes aufzunehmen, da es den Holocaust relativiere. Das ist falsch und erfüllt AfD-Positionen.

Aid cuts are driving migrants to Europe, warns UN refugee chief
Filippo Grandi calls on EU countries to support existing asylum facilities in Africa rather than create new schemes
Before the 2015 refugee crisis, the cash-strapped World Food Programme had to drop 1/3 of its Syrian refugees from food vouchers in its Middle Eastern programme. A few months later, arrival numbers in Europe increased. Now, 10 years later, all of this seems forgotten...

Uneven Ground: Inequality and Planetary Health
Can we afford the consumption patterns of the super-rich? Or does human and planetary wellbeing require us to drastically reduce inequality?
The richest 1% emit 100x the greenhouse gas emissions of those in the world’s bottom 50%, notes @profkepickett.bsky.social. “Inequalities of income, wealth and political power sit at the heart of the environmental crisis” @equalitytrust.bsky.social #LSEInequalitiesBlog

Early job mentoring, placement, and training boost refugee integration without high costs
The number of people fleeing war and persecution worldwide has nearly tripled since the early 2010s, challenging European policymakers to ensure swift integration of asylum seekers into the labour market. This column assesses a pilot programme in Italy that provides early, personalised labour market support to asylum seekers. Even in resource-constrained settings, the early targeted support led to a 30% net increase in employment, improved the quality of employment, boosted language proficiency, and fostered greater social integration with the local communities.
RCT evaluation of an Italian pilot program has a simple core lesson: early, targeted support can dramatically improve employment outcomes for asylum seekers, even in resource-constrained settings.

Das ist jetzt alles schon wieder sehr seltsam und ohne weitere Informationen nicht beurteilbar.
1. "Am Tag der Abschiebung Recht bekommen" ist ungenau. Die Entscheidung wurde offenbar bekanntgegeben, als die Familie schon in der Luft war.

Look at this: www.dw.com/en/germany-1... a quarter of migrants who have moved to Germany are considering leaving again. The ones likeliest to do so are the ones who have high earnings and have learned the language - the migrants that Germany *claims* to want here. That is a major warning sign.

Der Insta-Account «Wilhelm Kachel», der haufenweise solche KI-Bilder im NS-Propagandalook versammelt, wird wohl von einer Agentur betrieben, die für die AfD u.a. auch KI-generierte Wahlkampfspots mit ethnisch gesäuberten Kleinstadtidyllen produziert. Mehr dazu hier bei @g-d-gegenwart.bsky.social

Seit Jahren werden Milliarden in Frontex reingepumpt. Selbst aus Sicht der Befürworter der Migrationabschottung hatte das wirklich nur mäßigen Erfolg. Die Agentur aus Warschau ist eine riesige Geldverschwendungsmaschine geworden.

#ContraAI 🤖 #LLMs are biased towards gender and race. In other words: they duplicate the inequalities that exist in real life. This study shows how a language model’s hidden bias leads to suggesting lower starting salaries for women than for men. #genderpaygap
