Fabulous - congratulations 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇰🇪🇰🇪

🇰🇪 #Kenya, I remain grateful for this hosting opportunity. Growing up, Prof. Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o was a distant legend whom I’d never have imagined breathing the same air as, let alone hosting him in Sheffield over two days on his last UK tour.

@trevorsim.bsky.social good to see you commenting on regional trade issues on BBC Focus on Africa

Here are two to start with

Regenerative Agriculture - Regenerative Grazing "If we had viewed Earth from space for thousands of years, we would describe humans as a desert-making species." - Prof Elisabet Sahtouris

No - it’s a combination of soil type and prevailing climate. If you graze cattle well, the soils and vegetation can improve.

A lot of “agric land” in Africa is semi-arid grassland - very low fertility, very dry. This is W Zambia, which is also very sandy. Cattle cope with these conditions and can eat these grasses, improving soil and water retention. Making fields strips land bare & results in frequent crop failure.

Not very many so far!!

Former USAID official warns Elon Musk's push to shut down the agency is 'dangerous' | Fox News Video Former USAID head of global health Atul Gawande joins 'America's Newsroom' to discuss Elon Musk's claim that President Donald Trump fully supports shutting down the agency.

Happy 2025 from the beautiful Lower Zambezi 🇿🇲🇿🇲

My tree of the year - western Zambia. Will take a pic of the top half next time

It's that time of the year, when Kwela comes to you all to support a Christmas lunch for children, who live in homes so impoverished that chances are high that they go a whole year without tasting meat.
This year it's to a village in Chibombo. Impossible without your support!

Another day in this saga (shambles).

Nsefu Wildlife Conservation Foundation (Nsefu.org) is now on BlueSky. Learn more about us and our work in Zambia! nsefu.org/nsefu-wildli... #nsefuwildlife #nwcf #zambia #africa #conservation

Hoping former Zed Twitter also turns up 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲

The Zambezi is looking good this evening as well!

Tim Benson visited Zambia in 2017 with the sight charity 'Orbis'. He traveled to the Kitwe Hospital Eye, to meet patients, surgeons & medical staff.

This trip inspired Tim to create an exhibition of paintings called "Visions of Zambia", in London in 2018.

Kwela Trust received a donation which the Board decided to direct to students at public unis, on 100% loan but who can't raise the reg fee that activates the loan. They don't take up their place.

Beautiful Zambia, with the first rains bringing the landscape to life.

Comes from the pond, grown huge on a diet of lost golf balls??
