Another Trump ambit claim?

Report: "US, Israel want to displace Palestinians from Gaza to East Africa"

"Officials from US & Israel say governments of Sudan, Somalia & Somaliland have been asked to take in people of Gaza."

However, officials from Sudan "claimed to have rejected overtures from the US, while officials from Somalia & Somaliland told AP they were unaware of any contacts."

Japanese car makers have sent used cars to Zimbabwe for decades — tens of thousands a year. They often end up in a landfill, in particular the electric vehicles, because of a lack of specialized mechanics to get them back on the road or safely recycle them. Zimbabweans have had enough. “Our township landfills are filled with batteries and other sophisticated elements from discarded EV cars, spewing toxic chemicals, because we don’t know how to recycle their parts, nor have the machinery or skill to do so,” garage manager Amos Gwada says. @thexylom tells the full story.

The Ilemi Triangle is a disputed region that straddles the north of Kenya, southern Ethiopia and South Sudan. “Controversy over the Ilemi’s ownership can be traced back to colonial meddling,” writes Kang-Chun Cheng for @thexylom. The main employment for people who live in the region is herding livestock, but a new project aims to introduce climate-smart agriculture. Here’s how it’s going, and the challenges it faces.

The Xylom · Climate change is Driving Gun Violence in East Africa's Disputed Ilemi TriangleLocals in the disputed and increasingly resource-starved East African region are taking tentative steps to embrace climate-smart agriculture. But that requires reckoning with their way of life. This story is the first in our three-part environmental justice series “Peril in East Africa.”

"#EastAfrica is bracing for more floods, as torrential rain after years of drought deliver a reminder of the threat created by #ClimateChange.

Tropical Storm #Hidaya is expected to make landfall this weekend, worsening the deluge that has already killed hundreds of people and swept away crops and livestock."

Good morning fr #Pasadena. Omg! Where have I been the last 5 days?! #HyperFocus has a way of making time fly, especially if I’m busy gardening and on top of that a multi-day storm is said to be coming. 🙀 😆 But hyper focus is also confusing 🫤

Winter has more or less arrived for us it looks like. We had a good amount of rain yesterday and despite day 2-3 of the storm being revised to 🌤️ day 4 is still tentatively scheduled.

Today, I’d hoped to continue on (re-)potting plants and succulent cuttings but I must get more pots & potting soil first.

Here is a plant that fell over when branches pruned off the big tree fell on it. For potted plants, especially bushy ones, I now use tri/quad-pod support I make out of ribs from #DatePalm fronds. Works incredibly well at preventing various plants from toppling so far! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 Here, I’m using them to straighten a #EuphorbiaGrantii aka #AfricanMilkBush, a native from #EastAfrica

Today 🌤️ & 18°c (64°F) though it’s ☁️ atm.

First 2 frond ribs of quad pod stake group planted on one side of the green pot. Those will be used to secure the plant upright while 2 more frond ribs which will be inserted on the opposite side. Having four supports should prevent the plant from falling over again.
Quad pod stakes “system” in place and African milk bush standing straight again.

Malawi swelters in record heat with temperatures nearly 20C above average

theguardian.com/world/2023/oct

20C ABOVE NORMAL HEATWAVES ARE HERE!

Yes, we ignored them when they hit the poles, then Siberia, then Norway, when they almost hit Canada and the US North West.

They have come down to the Equator now. Only a matter of time before they become "the norm" worldwide.

20C. Above normal.
