Hausa traditional architecture is a rich and vibrant form of architectural expression found in the Hausa-speaking regions of West Africa. Here are ten important things to know about Hausa traditional architecture:
1. Cultural Significance: Hausa traditional architecture reflects the cultural identity and values of the Hausa people. It embodies their history, traditions, social structure, and religious beliefs.
2. Mud and Earth Construction: Hausa architecture predominantly employs locally available materials such as mud, earth, and thatch. These materials are used to construct walls, roofs, and other structural elements.

Exciting news 🎉 Ghana is the first country to approve the use of a new malaria vaccine developed by Oxford University 🎉
This is an epic step forward in the fight against the disease. Here’s what you should know👇 [Thread]
This is an epic step forward in the fight against the disease. Here’s what you should know👇 [Thread]
Malaria is a major health threat in Africa, with over 90% of all cases and deaths occurring on the continent (@WHO). #Ghana has been working hard to combat the disease, and this approval brings the country one step closer to defeating it.
The vaccine was developed by scientists at the @UniofOxford, and so far has shown to be up to 77% effective in early trials. However, more testing still needs to be done to determine its effectiveness in a larger population.
Il est normal que la livraison d'armes de la #CIV225 à son voisin le #Burkina 🇧🇫 suscite des débats dans ces 2 pays et ailleurs. J'ai vu certains dire qu'il faut remercier @AOuattara_PRCI. D'autres disent que c'est tout simplement faux ou même que c'est un cadeau empoisonné. 1/7
Evidemment chacun est libre de juger comme bon lui semble. Mais pour ma part, il nous faut aller au delà des questions de personnes. En vrai je me fiche complètement des personnes d'Alassane Ouattara ou d'Ibrahim Traoré. Nos pays ont existé avant et existeront après eux . 2/7
C'est pourquoi je trouve que cette livraison d'armes n'est qu'un geste de solidarité d'un pays frère (pas des dirigeants). Cette solidarité a toujours existé et existera entre les peuples, n'en déplaise aux chauvins Ivoiriens et Burkinabè. 3/7
A reflection on Western African illiterate women diaspora in Italy.
I want to share a reflection I made a while ago.
I'm a so-called second generation migrant in Italy if Ghanaian descent, working with asylum seekers and migrants as mediator and teacher.

#Ghanaians make a distinction between #wisdom (literally "home intelligence") and #education ("school intelligence").
Working with Africans, especially Ghanaians and Nigerians, as a mediator I can see too often there is a lack of the latter.

I have met several illiterate or poorly educated young women (25-35 years).
Illiteracy comes with early death, exploitation, abusive relations, early parenting and – on what concerns my job – a high difficulty to understand and adapt to Italian/European system.

2/ The top chocolate producing countries are the Ivory Coast, #Ghana, #Indonesia, and #Brazil. Together, these countries account for over 60% of the world's chocolate production. #ivorycoast
3/ The Ivory Coast is the largest chocolate producer in the world, with over 1.5 million tons produced annually. Ghana is a close second, producing around 1 million tons per year.
"We made significant tangible progress across every one of our priorities this week," says @SecBlinken at conclusion of #USAfricaLeadersSummit.
America will not dictate Africa's choices but will work relentlessly to expand their choices of partnerships, says @SecBlinken.
Additional $1.1 billion to be invested by the US for rising leaders and youth in #Africa, notes @SecBlinken.
#Fulani herders are once again being threatened with expulsion in central #Ghana. Here’s some context on what’s going on, based on some of my work over the last year.
Earlier this week Tabital Pulaaku Ghana, a civil society group focused on issues affecting Fulani communities, issued a statement “pleading” with a paramount chief in Ashanti region to not evict Fulani herders from his area.
The expulsion order was issued in response to a surge in crime around Ejura which is being blamed on Fulani herders. “We’ll kill any cattle found in any village,” he told a gathering of chiefs, elders and security services. “We don’t want any Fulani herdsmen to live among us.”
A video is circulating showing the Italian PM criticize the #CFA franc in very harsh terms. Wow! Has the Far Right suddenly become “anti-imperialist”? Does this criticism make the Far Right an ally for our long time struggles? Below our take with @fpigeaud
Every time the Italian government has been lectured by its French counterpart, especially on migration, raising the CFA franc has been a convenient way for Rome to “retaliate”. This was already the case on January 2019. nytimes.com/2019/01/22/wor…
1/25.📜It’s day twelve of #COP27 and here is your daily #LossAndDamage focused thread. The intense negotiations on “funding arrangements" continue today after the release of a new text which contained a set of three options for a decision on a fund to address #LossAndDamage. 🧵
2/25. As summarised by @YebSano of @GreenpeaceSEA during @CANInt press conference these options equate to: “Option 1, we have a fund here. Option 2, we have a fund next year, Option 3, we don't have a fund, let's talk some more.”
3/25. However, it is very important to note — as we did earlier in an extensive thread— that “option number 1” is not in line with the G77 and China’s current proposal for an operating entity (be it a fund or facility) under the financial mechanism of the @UNFCCC.

Now for a #Ghana 🧵 as this keeps being raised and I want to discuss two big shifts in JNIM strategy since 2021: /1
1) from the west, Katibat Alidougou has moved into Cote d'Ivoire's NE Bounkani and Zanzan Depart in 2020/2021 where there is some early evidence that they are penetrating Ghana’s Upper West region (ungoverned space around Dollar Power) and then freely move up to Burkina Faso. 2/
2) Meanwhile, JNIM is moving westward from the WAP park complex; in May JNIM moved their Ansarul Islam factions into the Koulou triangle, in presumably a deliberate move to localize the insurgency, and free up their katibats to move westward towards SW Burkina and Ghana /3
