Elegant way of showing global fertility data for every country in 2019. Spend a few minutes studying it and you might become as big as a fan of the piece as I am. Great work by @SeppalaVilleEN. Source: buff.ly/3Azeg8T

It’s been inspiring to watch young Nigerians dare to hope and believe in a better Nigeria. From mobilising their communities to vote, to guarding the vote. Faced with systems intentionally designed to disenfranchise, distract and deject, still they choose to push and fight back.

I agree that flights in Africa are expensive and a part of that is spurious charges, but part of that is also that Africa is huge. We have to compare like to like - flying from Nairobi to Dakar (6227 km) is almost twice the distance of crossing the continental USA (3994 km).
