Just been on Google Maps looking at the new satellite images of Gaza and it's hard to know what to say. It's eerie, it's heartbreaking and it's enraging. We already knew, but it's yet another reminder that this one of the greatest crimes in human history. #Gaza #HumanRights #WarCrimes #PS #GZ

Africa Daily Report — 30 September 2026 Major developments reported during the previous 24 hours. 1. Morocco — Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri appointed first woman prime minister. King Mohammed VI appointed El Mansouri following the September 23 parliamentary election. Her Authenticity and Modernity Party won the largest number of seats, and she now has to form a coalition. The appointment is historic, while the next government will also inherit major economic reforms and preparations for the 2030 World Cup.

Ethiopia — Fighting intensifies around Tigray amid wider regional accusations. Fighting between federal and Tigrayan forces has escalated, with territorial shifts and concern that the conflict could again spread across northern Ethiopia. Ethiopian officials have accused regional rivals of supporting armed groups, while communications disruptions and displacement are complicating independent assessment and humanitarian access. The renewed conflict threatens the fragile post-2022 settlement. Direct source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/29/fighting-in-ethiopia-intensifies-whats-the-latest 3. Somalia/Puntland — Five tanker crew members killed in piracy incident. Puntland authorities said Somali pirates killed five crew members of the petroleum-products tanker MT Honour 25 before security forces rescued the hijacked vessel. The incident is a serious reminder that piracy remains an operational security threat off the Horn of Africa despite years of international maritime-security efforts. Importance: HIGH — maritime security and Red Sea/Indian Ocean trade routes. Direct source: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/somali-pirates-killed-5-crew-members-hijacked-tanker-before-rescue-mission-2026-09-29/ 4. Kenya/Nigeria — Dangote advances $16 billion Lamu refinery. Dangote is moving ahead with the planned 700,000-barrel-per-day refinery at Lamu. The project is intended to reduce East Africa's dependence on imported refined fuels and could generate more than 50,000 jobs, but it faces infrastructure, environmental and land-rights challenges. A Kenyan court dispute could restrict some site activity pending an October 14 hearing. Importance: VERY HIGH — potentially transformative for East African energy supply, fuel imports, logistics and industrial development. Direct source: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/dangote-begin-construction-16-billion-east-africa-refinery-kenya-2026-09-30/ 5. South Africa — Foreign direct investment more than doubles in Q2. South Africa's central bank reported FDI inflows of 49.8 billion rand in the second quarter, up from 20.3 billion rand in Q1. The increase is an encouraging investment signal, although it needs to be considered alongside the country's broader growth, fiscal and structural indicators. Importance: HIGH — investment flows are a key indicator for Africa's most industrialised economy. Direct source: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/south-africas-foreign-direct-investment-inflows-pick-up-q2-2026-09-29/ 6. Ghana — Environmental regulator intensifies mining-sector enforcement. Ghana's Environmental Protection Authority issued a pre-closure notice to Chinese-owned Cardinal Namdini Mining over an alleged unreported incident and is reviewing an inspection of Gold Fields' Tarkwa operation. The regulator says it is moving from periodic inspections toward continuous monitoring and enforcement as Ghana seeks stronger environmental compliance, state revenue and local participation in its gold industry. Importance: HIGH — regulatory tightening can materially affect major international mining investors and Ghana's gold industry. Direct source: https://kfgo.com/2026/09/29/exclusive-ghanas-environmental-authority-targets-chinese-owned-cardinal-and-others-in-mining-crackdown/ 7. DR Congo — Annual audits of major miners planned from 2027. The DRC plans annual audits of major mining companies' subcontracting practices and compliance with local-content requirements beginning in 2027. The world's largest cobalt producer and Africa's leading copper producer is tightening oversight to direct more procurement and contracts toward Congolese-owned businesses. Importance: HIGH — potentially significant for global copper/cobalt supply chains and mining contractors operating in DRC.

Tunisia/Mediterranean — Migrant shipwreck leaves at least two dead. Sea-Watch said it rescued 28 people after a shipwreck off Tunisia and recovered two bodies, including a child. Survivors reported at least six people missing, including three children. More than 1,970 people have died or gone missing attempting Mediterranean crossings in 2026, according to Sea-Watch, even as arrivals in Italy have fallen sharply from 2025. Importance: HIGH — migration, humanitarian protection and EU–North Africa policy remain closely linked. Direct source: https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/migrant-shipwreck-off-tunisia-leaves-at-least-two-dead-six-reported-missing 9. Guinea-Bissau — Ousted president plans return ahead of December election. Former president Umaro Sissoco Embalo, removed in the November 2025 coup, plans to return on October 4 and seek the presidency in elections scheduled for December 6, according to a source cited by Reuters. A recently approved constitutional residency requirement could become relevant to his eligibility. The military-led authorities have reportedly said he is welcome to return. Direct source: https://kfgo.com/2026/09/29/ousted-guinea-bissau-leader-to-run-in-december-election-source-says/ 10. Sudan — Currency collapse brings fuel queues back to Khartoum. Long fuel queues have returned in Khartoum and several other areas as the Sudanese pound reportedly weakened beyond 8,000 to the US dollar on the parallel market. The currency deterioration is adding to transport and commodity pressures in an economy already devastated by war and disrupted production and trade. Importance: VERY HIGH — the currency/fuel shock compounds Sudan's humanitarian and economic crisis.

I Hear a New World - A Long London Novel by Alan Moore From New York Times bestselling author and legendary storyteller Alan Moore, the second book in the Long London Series, a daringly inventive fantasy novel about murder, mayhem, and magic. It's 1958 and Dennis Knuckleyard has decided to leave his adventures in the Great When in the past where they belong. For nine years, he's avoided so much as thinking about the magical version of London, until he rediscovers an unpleasant reminder of his last adventure-a key that he'd secretly brought into his own world from the other for safekeeping. But while Dennis may believe he's done with the Great When, it's far from done with him. When Dennis gives the key to a friend, its magical properties reawaken, bringing creatures from the other world into Dennis's and sparking riots in Notting Hill. Even worse, Dennis's old crush Grace Shilling has been forced into the Great When to investigate strange happenings in both cities. Desperate to keep Grace safe, Dennis follows her into Long London. But once inside the other city, it will not let him go again so easily, and Dennis and Grace must fight to set things right in the Great When and their own world, or forever lose their lives-and each other. Full of Moore's characteristically stunning world building and rollicking prose, I Hear a New World is the extraordinary second adventure in the Long London series.

❗ Χθες, πηγαίνοντας στην Έκθεση Βιβλίου στο Πεδίον του Άρεως, μου συνέβη κάτι που θα μπορούσε να είχε εξελιχθεί πολύ άσχημα. 🚇 Στον σταθμό του ηλεκτρικού στα Άνω Πατήσια, ανεβαίνοντας με τις κυλιόμενες σκάλες, έχασα την ισορροπία μου και έπεσα ανάσκελα. Δεν μπορούσα να σηκωθώ. Ήταν αδύνατον. Κι έτσι οι κυλιόμενες σκάλες συνέχισαν να ανεβαίνουν κι εγώ έμεινα ξαπλωμένος μέχρι να φτάσω επάνω. ❤️ Και τότε συνέβη κάτι που θέλω να θυμάμαι περισσότερο από την ίδια την πτώση. Ακριβώς πίσω μου βρισκόταν μια νεαρή κοπέλα. Χωρίς να με γνωρίζει, χωρίς δεύτερη σκέψη, έσκυψε και σε όλη τη διαδρομή κρατούσε και προστάτευε το κεφάλι μου, μέχρι να φτάσουμε επάνω. 🙏 Και όταν φτάσαμε, δύο νέα παιδιά που βρίσκονταν εκεί έτρεξαν αμέσως κοντά μου. Με βοήθησαν να σηκωθώ, με κράτησαν και με ρώτησαν με πραγματικό ενδιαφέρον: «Είστε καλά, κύριε;» Ευτυχώς, τελικά δεν χτύπησα. ❤️ Όμως έφυγα από εκεί έχοντας κερδίσει κάτι άλλο. Την υπενθύμιση ότι μέσα στην καθημερινότητα, ανάμεσα σε ανθρώπους που δεν γνωρίζονται μεταξύ τους και πιθανότατα δεν θα ξανασυναντηθούν ποτέ, υπάρχει ακόμη η ανθρωπιά. Δεν έμαθα τα ονόματά τους. Εκείνοι δεν ήξεραν το δικό μου. Για λίγα λεπτά, όμως, αυτό δεν είχε καμία σημασία. 🙏 Στην κοπέλα που προστάτευε το κεφάλι μου σε όλη εκείνη τη δύσκολη διαδρομή και στα δύο παιδιά που με βοήθησαν να σταθώ ξανά όρθιος, ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ. ❗ Yesterday, on my way to the Book Fair at Pedion tou Areos in Athens, something happened to me that could have ended very badly. 🚇 At Ano Patissia station, while going up the escalator, I lost my balance and fell backwards. I couldn’t get up. The escalator kept moving, carrying me all the way to the top while I remained lying down. ❤️ But what I want to remember most is not the fall. A young woman happened to be standing right behind me. She didn’t know me, yet without hesitation she bent down and protected my head throughout the entire ride until we reached the top. 🙏 When we finally got there, two young people immediately came over. They helped me get back on my feet, supported me and genuinely asked: “Are you all right, sir?” Fortunately, I wasn’t injured. ❤️ But I walked away with something else: a reminder that humanity is still there — among complete strangers who may never see one another again. I never learned their names. They didn’t know mine. For those few minutes, none of that mattered. 🙏 To the young woman who protected my head and to the two young people who helped me stand again, a big thank you. #Ανθρωπιά #Αλληλεγγύη #Ευχαριστώ #Humanity #Kindness #Ανθρωπιά #Αλληλεγγύη #Ευχαριστώ

This is your annual public service reminder that Soviet Union was an ally of Nazi Germany, and they jointly attacked Poland in September 1939. As they had agreed on August 23rd. For USSR aggression against the Baltic States was next, followed by attack against Finland. #History #SovietUnion #NaziGermany #PL #RU #EE #LV #LT #FN

35 years ago, Estonia joined the @UN as a free and independent nation. Today, Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and attempts to redraw borders by force are stark reminders that imperialism and spheres of influence are not relics of the past. Estonia knows what is at #Estonia #UN #Imperialism #EE #RU #UA

BREAKING: Rutgers Professor Noura Erakat was arrested (released on bail) in Florida at an event on investment in Israel Bonds?? Surreal. Another reminder of what Palestine has exposed: how quickly the language of democracy becomes conditional when dissent challenges power. #NouraErakat #Palestine #IsraelBonds #IL #US #PS

Kurzer reminder 2023 - Bauern protestieren mit Autobahnblockaden, brennenden Reifen und extremer Aggressivität gegen die Streichung der Agrarsubventionen. Agrardiesel hätte damit letztendlich ca 1.60€ statt 1.35€ gekostet 2026 Bei fast 3€😴🥱😊 #Bauernproteste #Agrarsubventionen #Agrarpolitik
