Great to speak w/ @marclamonthill about the pandemic’s racial inequalities and why ‘we need to move away from color blindness’. Recent data from @CDCgov shows 80% of #COVID19 patients in Georgia are African American.

African Americans make up 13 percent of the US population but account for 34 percent of COVID-19 deaths in the country. Is the virus exposing racial disparities?⁣ Here's what @marclamonthill tells us. ⁣ Catch the full show here:

Naledi Pandor throws the gauntlet: if Netanyahu were in Africa, he'd likely be facing an ICC warrant by now. The ICC's track record? 31 cases, all African. Looks like geography is destiny when it comes to international justice. If Netanyahu’s actions were unfolding in Africa,

@1james_elder @UNICEF Israel’s actions in Rafah—from denying safe harbour to rejecting ceasefires—paint a clear picture of state policy driven by annexation, masked as self-defense, and emboldened by governments’ tacit support and silence. Forcing over a million Palestinians to flee Rafah with

@abierkhatib Democracy in action or action against democracy? The crackdown on student protests unveils the truth about American democracy—it’s free, until you use it to challenge the powerful. Looks like the 'free and open democracy' of the US has some strings attached—just don't pull on
