Why would someone want to live in Africa?
You are wherever you are on this earth right now,because you were born there,or that you are privileged enough to move to a continent of your choice.
A lot are born here,and have never moved outside a 200Km radius from their place of birth. They don’t have electricity or the standard of living as obtained elsewhere,yet,they can’t change Africa for the whole world! They live the most basic life you can ever think of,yet they are some of the most happiest people on earth. I want to be like them!!!
That aside,Africa is the mother continent,with a lot of beauty everywhere and is most suitable for almost about anything and everything.
The Serengeti for me,is the best place on earth,and yes it is in Africa.
Seeing a place on a map or on TV is not the same as being there. You have to be here to know why a lot would want to live here!

The DRC has officially lifted the moratorium on the death penalty since last March. This decision has caused a stir in the international community, which has not shared this way of doing things. Several diplomatic representations have reacted, citing the non-respect of human rights regarding the application of the death penalty. But Kinshasa has not backed down.This death penalty applies in particular to soldiers accused of treason against the nation in order to rid the army of the country, traitors and to stem the resurgence of acts of terrorism and urban banditry resulting in the death of men, the government had specified.Among the people who have already received this death penalty is Jean-Jacques Wondo, a Belgian-Congolese military expert. Enough to make Belgium react, which has expressed its serious concerns on this subject. Hadja Lahbib, Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs, reacting to the Wondo case and his alleged involvement in the failed coup attempt of 19 May in the DRC, she reaffirmed Belgium’s firm position against the death penalty.The death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment, said Amnesty International, which opposes the death penalty in all circumstances and campaigns for its abolition worldwide.https://actualite.cd

Algeria has barred French companies from competing for a wheat import contract and ordered participating firms not to supply grain produced in the country, Reuters has reported, citing trading sources. The North African nation is currently engaged in a diplomatic standoff with France.France had been the largest supplier to Algeria, one of the world’s biggest wheat buyers, which had historically relied on imports from the European Union (EU). However, the former French colony has, in recent years, turned to Russian supplies, which currently dominate the North African region’s market, according to a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) report published in April.Last month, Russia’s Center for Grain Quality Assurance ranked Algeria second behind Egypt among the top five African importers of Russian wheat by volume between January and September of this year. It received 1.3 million tons of the grain from Russia.

Chad is grappling with one of its worst natural disasters in recent history, as relentless rainfall since July has caused severe flooding across all 23 provinces of the country.The floods have resulted in the deaths of more than 550 people and the destruction of over 210,000 homes, leaving families homeless and vulnerable, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) reported. The rain season, which typically lasts until October, has seen unprecedented precipitation, submerging entire communities and destroying vital infrastructure.In addition to the devastating death toll, around 432,000 hectares of farmland and 72,000 livestock have been wiped out, severely undermining the country’s agricultural backbone.
