Excellent to see success and leadership in the AFRO region. For too long the refrain has been for AFRO to recapitulate the "PAHO Strategy" for elimination. PAHO's success was tremendous, but is now decades old and the world and tactics have changed. These counties can lead the charge for AFRO.
Cabo Verde, Mauritius and Seychelles eliminate measles and rubella
In a significant public health achievement, Cabo Verde, Mauritius and Seychelles have eliminated measles and rubella, becoming the first sub-Saharan countries to attain this milestone.

In the first episode we explain socialism(s) and communism(s) before Marx, featuring the French Revolution, Chartists, anarchists, the birth of the co-operative movement, utopian novels, America's experimental communes and seas of lemonade
🚨Season 8 – The Story of Socialism – starts today🚨 It’s arguably the most earth-shaking political concept of the last 200 years. @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social start with the idea's inception during turbulent times in the mid 1800s.
