interesting article on local solar power

arstechnica.com/science/2025/0

"39 panels have a capacity of over 20 kilowatts—enough to power just one large, energy-intensive American household but more than enough for the lightbulbs, cooker plates and fans in the 180 households in Mbiabet Esieyere and Mbiabet Udouba."

not sure that have their numbers right but the point is still valid.

It good to see democracy take hold, here its the literal spread of power.

Mahmoud Ahmed is a national icon of Ethiopia, a musician who rose to prominence during the time of Haile Selassie, and whose songs are known by every generation, though he hasn’t released a new track in decades. Now, he’s retiring, and @thecontinent spoke to him days before his final concert in Addis Ababa. Here’s the interview — writer Maya Misikir suggests listening to it accompanied by Ahmed’s most famous track, “Tizita,” (sometimes known as “Tezeta”) which is a song about nostalgia.

“The cost of Trump’s executive disorder is measured in lives” is the headline of this piece in @thecontinent. The team at the Africa-wide weekly newspaper break down how the U.S. government’s freeze on international aid has affected HIV and tuberculosis programs in Uganda, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. “American aid to the global HIV response is channelled through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Pepfar). It is the world’s biggest HIV response fund and it supports – or supported – up to 20-million people,” they write.

Vibrant vertical streaks of yellow and green create a blurred, abstract impression. These are early morning reflections of riverside reeds interspersed with light mist on the waters of the Chobe River in Botswana.

I think this is a Rattling Cisticola but given what the Cisticola family is like (they’re all very alike) and given that #Kruger has lots of Cisticola…more than happy to be corrected 😃
