In #AddisAba: THREAD
When you find the Manuscript you were looking for long time in one volume instead of the typical two volumes. This copy of the Jalaalayn has been transcribed in 935hijra (=1528 c.a). The oldest document stored in #BilalulHabeshaMuseum.
Thank you Addis.
I discovered quite by chance this new (2018) Museum in the heart of #AddisAbaba. Bilalul Habeshi is a community museum to create public awareness about Islamic heritage and their value. 140 Islamic Manuscripts among the other cultural and heritage material. @HargeysaCC@tirsity

A few days back I held a @joinClubhouse conversation with an interesting gathering of #mathematics teachers and other #educators, and I did talk about #ethnomathematics.
The conversation generated a heated debate among them.
A thread #Culture#Maths#KnowledgeProduction
In the discussion, I also mentioned African Humanism as new enlightenment based on the endogenous & indigenous techniques and methods to generate knowledge in the #GlobalSouth.
Someone was so upset and felt attacked by this.
Others by my expression #decolonize the #decolonization

ISS @issafrica publishes an article by @PFabric on #BerberaCorridor, under the sensational title: "Abiy helps Somaliland put more facts on the ground." It is confusing,
not factual and I have a problem with it.
My take in a thread [1/8]
@tirsity@DrMehari@RAbdiCG@Wadobariis
First, why @issafrica should publish such an article without even proofreading for the basics? I am surprised:
"Together with the US$442 billion expansion of the Port of Berbera .." It is not billion but million. But that is not my issue with it. @PFabric
