🇪🇹 🇳🇬 Space is a critical domain for Africa's economic, scientific and strategic development, says Ethiopian official

This week, in a bid to empower African nations in the global space sector, Ethiopia and Nigeria have jointly launched a training course focused on international space cooperation.

🗣 "The training aims to build leadership capacity for African countries in space sector. So, by equipping participants with the knowledge and the skills to effectively engage in global space policies, governance structures and also technical fields," Dr. Yeshurun Alemayehu, Ethiopia's Deputy Minister of Innovation and Technology, told Sputnik Africa.

Dr. Alemayehu emphasized the potential of space for diplomacy, stating that "different nations have their own priorities and their own national interests… Space can be used as a diplomatic tool to tie the different ideological countries to work together."

The official, a former deputy director of the Ethiopian Space Science and Geospatial Institute, also stressed the significance of a robust African space industry and policy. He explained that space technology will allow the continent to "address its unique developmental challenges, and also to unlock economic opportunities".

🗣 "Space capabilities such as satellite technology provide critical services for monitoring climate change, improving productivity, and managing natural resources," he said.

Dr. Alemayehu further highlighted the importance of African participation in global space policy, ensuring they are not left behind by other countries. "Anyone with strong power can manipulate space," he warned. "So that is very tied with sovereignty and the national security."

🇺🇬🇺🇸 Ugandan army chief issues ultimatum to US ambassador

The American diplomat will be expelled on Monday morning if he "does not apologize to Mzee (President Yoweri Museveni) personally," Chief of Defense Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba said on social media platform X.

🗣 "Fellow Ugandans, it is my solemn duty to announce to you all that we as a nation are about to have a serious confrontation with the current US Ambassador to our country. For disrespecting our beloved and celebrated President and undermining Uganda's Constitution," said Kainerugaba, the leader's son, accusing William W. Popp of "undiplomatic behavior," without elaborating.

However, Uganda has no problem with the United States, said the military officer. But "lately, we have a lot of evidence that they have been working against the [Ugandan] government," he added.

General Kainerugaba later explained that "It is not only General MK. It is President Museveni, the government and the people of Uganda too. This is not a personal issue between me and the current US Ambassador, this is a national issue and you'll see that NO foreign country will ever dominate Uganda again!"

Russian Ambassador to UN sums up NATO allies and relationship to third world countries:

🗣 "Today, colonialism lives and flourishes in new, modern forms and manifestations, such as unilateral coercive measures, interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states, politicization or simply restriction of humanitarian aid and technical assistance," the Russian diplomat said.

The diplomat stressed the unacceptability of colonialism in all its forms and expressed readiness to seek its complete eradication, speaking of a draft resolution titled "Eradicating colonialism in all its forms and manifestations."

Heres a third “Otter attack”. Either this is comms or the cryptid with tetrodotoxin in claws and thats the excuse— an “otter”. This is nonsense on the face of it— no pun intended.

Don't forget about the 'vicious river otter attack' near Yellowstone...
