Countries in the Horn of Africa have been hit by a multiyear drought. Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Uganda are expected to continue getting below-normal rainfall in 2023.

Prolonged dry spells, particularly in semi-arid and arid regions, may have serious impacts, particularly if people aren’t prepared.

En una semana...

El presidente Macron fue impelido a hacer que #Francia trate a los paises de #Africa como iguales y no como "colonias";

El embajador de #Alemania en #Namibia fue callado con las palabras... que hablan de la comunidad china, si #Europa es racista;

En #Mali se le dieron 30 dias a las tropas francesas para abandonar el pais;

En la reunion anual de la Comunidad de Paises Africanos, se expulso a la delegacion de #Israel.

Y hay que recordar que el intercambio comercial entre Africa y la #UE no llega ni al 30% del que hay entre #China y ese continente... asi que mejor comenzamos por pasar de las señales a la accion (y no militar, sino economica).

In the south of Burkina Faso lies a small village called Tiébélé. It's home to the Kassena people; one of the oldest ethnic groups that settled in the region in the 15th century.

Tiébélé is known for their amazing traditional Gurunsi architecture and elaborately decorated walls of their homes.

Dating back to the 16th century, wall decorating has always been a community project done by the women.

Algunas tribus de Etiopía y Sudán practican el llamado golpe de vaca. Esto implica soplar aire en la vagina de la vaca (o, a veces, en el ano) mientras se masajea la ubre para simular el nacimiento de un ternero, lo que hace que la vaca dé más leche.
