🇫🇷 #France's high school reform in 2021 had an unexpected side effect: a significant portion of girl students dropped math.
In 2020, 44% chose advanced math—the following year, this number fell to 24%.

@ShirliSitbon 🇲🇬 Child marriage is a daily reality for tens of thousands of young girls in #Madagascar.
"When a girl turns 12 or 13, she becomes a new source of income for the family", explains @Galaelle for #DayoftheGirl.
"She is sacrificed to allow the family to survive" ⤵️

@ShirliSitbon @Galaelle 🇲🇬 The consequences for young girls promised into marriage are "irreversible".

Marco Polo was an Italian explorer known for helping the Mongol emperor of China, Kublai Khan on expanding his realm.
He became the most important explorer in the court of Kublai Khan. Today, he is credited for being one of the most influential explorers of all time.
When Marco Polo visited the Island of Mogadishu, Somalia, he mispronounced Mogadishu as 'Madagascar'.

You know that France lost her French West African possessions, Belgium lost the Congo 🇨🇩, England lost Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Ghana 🇬🇭 and some of the other English-speaking areas; France also lost Algeria, or the Algerians took Algeria 🇩🇿
As soon as these European powers lost their African possessions, Belgium had an economic crisis, the same year she turned the Congo loose.

Cyclone #Batsirai was expected to reach eastern Madagascar on Saturday, posing a "very serious threat" to millions with powerful winds and torrential rains set to batter the large Indian Ocean island u.afp.com/wYwR #CycloneBatsirai
VIDEO: 🇷🇪🇲🇺 A Mauritian oil tanker has run aground on the south coast of #ReunionIsland during heavy weather caused by the passage of #CycloneBatsirai. The 11 sailors on the Tresta Star, which was sailing empty of cargo, were rescued
#UPDATE As #CycloneBatsirai neared eastern #Madagascar on Saturday people sought shelter in more secure concrete buildings while others reinforced their roofs with sandbags. The Meteo-France weather service has warned of winds of up to 260 kph (162mph) u.afp.com/wYwR

#ExtremeWeather #Madagascar #Batsirai #CycloneBatsirai
Intense Cyclone Batsirai has strengthened rapidly and grown significantly larger. It has now passed Mauritius and its outer bands are now over Reunion.
Madagascar is 1000kms long top to bottom and #BatsiraiCyclone's outer bands are roughly the same size. With sustained winds of over 113 knots the storm is now the equivalent of a Category 4 Major Hurricane.
The JTWC's latest forecast track update #13 shows the storm maintaining very intense cyclone intensity up to landfall (of the eyewall - maximum strength winds) in the morning on Saturday. Rain and high winds will arrive on Friday.
🌍Maybe he shouldn’t have let overpopulation & deforestation destroy 90% of Madagascar’s forest with monoculture. Articles attached below this one.
The world is on fire. I've been warning about the perfect storm brewing due to Covid, conflict, climate shocks & now, rising supply chain costs. IT IS HERE. 45M lives are at stake—and increasing daily. If you don’t feed people, you feed conflict, destabilization & mass migration.
This hunger crisis is urgent, unprecedented, AND avoidable. @elonmusk, you asked for a clear plan & open books. Here it is! We're ready to talk with you - and anyone else - who is serious about saving lives. The ask is $6.6B to avert famine in 2022: wfp.org/appeal-billion…

Bisogna usare con cautela anche "Colpa del surriscaldamento globale" perché non tutti ancora son disposti a capire il concatenamento di eventi che questo crea.
Ma soprattutto, molti non vogliono pensare al cambiamento climatico e alla morte allo stesso tempo.
