Pre-election analysis of the Auditor General’s reports shows why #Uganda ranks so low in the 2024/25 #UNDP Human Development Index at 157th out of 193 countries – state planning that ignores the neediest, suspect accounting and mismatched priorities.

I have so much respect for Greta Thunberg because she easily could have coasted on speaking gigs and Davos appearances for the rest of her life

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

#UKEnergy I have to agree with @dalevince.com on this... Greg Jackson has been banging this drum relentlessly...
Dale: Sometimes I genuinely wonder if Greg Jackson and Octopus have crossed over to the anti - Net Zero camp. Or is this just sour grapes over his failed bid to bring in zonal pricing? Either way, his latest rant about wind power "waste" is a gift-wrapped talking point for the Tories and Reform - who are all too happy to attack renewables at every opportunity.
Let's be clear: this "curtailment" stuff isn't new, it's years old and that £1 billion headline figure represents less than 1% of our national energy bill - and, interestingly, it's also the amount by which Octopus fell short of meeting Ofgem's new financial resilience test. In that case, according to Jackson, £billion was a trivial sum..fancy that.. ®
The problem is infrastructure. The lack of pylons between Scotland and England - a hardware problem, not a renewable energy one and not one you can solve with Jackson's software. And it's being sorted.
But here's the danger: the more Greg trashes wind power, the more likely we are to end up with Reform UK writing our energy policy. Imagine that.
Honestly... with friends like Jackson, who needs enemies........

#Djibouti Absolutely excellent investigative skills in this reporting by Zecharias:

THREAD: this investigation took up over half my year, but it's here in @thecontinent.org:
A Djiboutian drone strike in January was depicted as a army operation targeting rebels. It was actually a massacre of civilians. The bloodshed & coverup implicating Ethiopia, Djibouti, France & Turkiye.

 INVESTIGATION
 The Djiboutian massacre 
Ethiopia won’t acknowledge
 Djibouti drones killed eight people on the other side of its 
border with Ethiopia. Djibouti claimed they were terrorists. 
Ethiopia said nothing. This investigation found that some of 
the dead were Ethiopians, revealing another episode in Addis’s 
tendency to let its neighbours kill its citizens with impunity. 
Crossing the line: Djibouti’s bombs landed inside Ethiopia, killing civilians – not armed fighters.
 zecharias zelalem 
On 30 January this year, a drone manned 
from Djibouti dropped a bomb on a 
funeral gathering in Siyaru, a remote, 
semi-arid village near the Ethiopia
Djibouti border. As rescuers rushed in, a 
second bomb dropped. And then a third.
 At least eight people were killed, 
including three children. Several 
others were injured. Given the village’s 
remoteness, the incident might have 
gone unreported if graphic images of 
the dead hadn’t spread across Ethiopian 
social media. 
A statement from the Djibouti’s 
defence ministry said the drone struck 
rebel fighters from the Front for the 
 Restoration of Unity and Democracy 
(Frud), a Djiboutian political party with 
a military wing. It has been fighting for 
Afar interests in Djibouti since the 1990s. 
The Afar are a community split by the 
colonial border separating Ethiopia, 
Djibouti, and Eritrea. 
“Eight terrorists were neutralised on 
site,” said a Djibouti military statement. 
“Unfortunately, collateral damage 
among Djiboutian civilians in the area 
has been documented.” 
International media, including Voice 
of America, Agence France Presse, and 
Radio France Internationale reported 
this version of events.
 Now, new findings from an open
In recovery: Mariam Mohammed Abdullah was 
injured in the drone strike.
 source investigation by The Continent 
reveal a different reality. 
The bombs landed inside Ethiopia, 
not in Djibouti, and civilians – not armed 
fighters – were killed. That distinction 
matters. It shows Ethiopia is once again 
tolerating a foreign military targeting its 
own citizens, as it did with Eritrea during 
the Tigray conflict.
 A transparent lie
 Even before the ink could dry on the 
Djiboutian military’s statement, The 
Addis Standard and human rights groups 
in Djibouti were emphatic that the strike 
had actually occurred inside Ethiopia’s 
Afar region. But Alexis Mohamed, an 
adviser to Djiboutian President Ismaïl 
Omar Guelleh, rubbished these reports 
in now-deleted social media posts.
 The Continent got to work to figure out 
what really happened. Over the course 
of eight months, we collected eyewitness 
testimonies, interviewed human rights 
activists in Ethiopia and Djibouti, and 
examined images and footage from the 
strike. Our findings align with those of 
Djiboutian activists, who pinpointed 
Siyaru in Ethiopia’s Afar region as the 
site of the strike. 
The ammunition residue found on the 
night of the strike confirms the bomb 
was manufactured by Roketsan, a state
run weapons manufacturer in Türkiye.
