Queen Elizabeth and Africa- Born in Cape Town I am a proud African and I have spent my life trying to help understand my native continent. Here are some of the books I have worked on
- I am truly humbled to have 130,000 people follow me. I thank you all. And promise to do all I can to bring you accurate information
- Dr. Debretsion and other top leadership of the Government of Tigray have returned to Mekelle and seen singing the National Anthem of Tigray, probably in a stadium.
- Tigray Media House is back on satellite
- I am delighted and humbled to now have 100,000 people who follow me. It is a responsibility, which I take very seriously. My focus will remain on Africa - the Horn of Africa and Southern Africa in particular. Apologies in advance for any mistakes that I make
- #Tigray Reports circulating that Debretsion and Getachew have been killed or captured are untrue. An international source has spoken with them this morning and they are alive and not taken by Ethiopian or Eritrean forces.
- Trafalgar Square in the heart of London becomes a sea of red and yellow for Tigray
- In Kenya, morgue logbooks record the cause of death reported by police. Reuters spoke to 3 police deployed during protests who said police mischaracterize deaths caused by officers as “death by accident”, “mob justice” or “drownings” to cover their tracks
