Europe bans hazardous pesticides to protect its citizens. Yet the same chemicals are exported to African countries like Uganda, where farmers apply them with minimal protection, in unlabelled containers, and without legal recourse. Read more: viacampesina.org/en/2026/07/uga… @ESAFFUG

From 2021 to 2024, its annual spending in African agriculture tripled to nearly $3 billion per year — and over the full period since 2014, it has committed approximately $12 billion to livestock-related projects alone. Of 49 sub-Saharan African countries, 29 have hosted at least one WBG livestock project. Through its new AgriConnect initiative, the WBG now plans to commit $9 billion annually to agriculture by 2030, with much of the focus on Africa. The report finds that many WBG livestock projects reflect a "productivist" model — emphasising intensification, value chains, and industrial supply chains, with some projects carrying explicit goals to reduce the number of farmers in a country or region. Private-sector lending through the IFC has expanded sharply, directed to large agribusinesses including ETG, Zambeef, and DAL Group. Despite the WBG's rhetoric about small farmer uplift and climate action, its model continues to reduce African farmers to debtors and suppliers for value chains they cannot influence — while the underlying goals of the African Green Revolution remain unchanged from the agenda promoted by USAID and the Gates Foundation before it. AFSA and IATP conclude that a future rooted in agroecological livestock systems, pastoralism, public extension, local feed systems, territorial markets, and greater policy autonomy would do far more to achieve food security, climate resilience, and dignified livelihoods for African farmers and the world.

FIFA’s broadcast cameras appeared to avoid showing this moment, likely due to rules around political gestures and protests. But today, Lumumba covered his mouth and mimed a gun to his head in a powerful protest against the silence surrounding the conflict in eastern DR Congo. One of the world’s most active crises has displaced thousands, and he used the World Cup stage to make sure people could not look away. This is what true influence looks like. 🇨🇩👏

🌍 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 | 𝟕–𝟗 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 | 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐚, 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚 AFSA is convening African civil society for a landmark 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙘𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙡 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙮 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨 𝘾𝙊𝙋32. With the world's eyes soon turning to #Ethiopia as the host of #COP32, there has never been a more urgent, or more powerful, moment for African voices on food and agriculture to speak with one, coordinated voice. This is that moment. Africa's smallholder farmers, pastoralists, women, youth, and indigenous communities are on the frontlines of a climate crisis they did not create, yet they hold some of the most transformative solutions the world needs. Too often, however, African civil society has entered global climate negotiations fragmented, with parallel agendas and diluted influence. This convening is a direct response to that challenge, bringing together approximately 100 participants from across the continent, including CSOs, farmer groups, women-led movements, youth networks, researchers, and policy actors, to build a unified position, a shared roadmap, and a coordinated strategy for #COP31 and #COP32. Over three days of structured, participatory dialogue, participants will move from shared understanding of the climate policy landscape to deep thematic engagement on just transition, adaptation, and climate finance in food systems, culminating in an endorsed African civil society position statement and a clear roadmap of collective action toward COP32. If you work at the intersection of #foodsovereignty, #agroecology, and #climatejustice, this is the space for you. Mark your calendars, spread the word, and stay tuned for registration details

Francoise UWUMUKIZA, a member of the East African Legislative Assembly representing Rwanda and a key voice in regional policy on agriculture, food systems, and inclusive development. Drawing from her background in women’s leadership and her own close experience of farming through her mother, she reflects on how agriculture shaped her political commitment and why she sees women as being at the heart of African food systems. She explains that her journey into regional agricultural policy came not only from public office, but also from a personal understanding that farming sustains families, livelihoods, and dignity, even when it is often dismissed as if it were not real work. The conversation explores the current realities of food systems in East Africa, where she sees a serious disconnect between governments, parliamentarians, civil society, the private sector, and the farmers they are meant to serve. She describes how climate change is already hitting farmers hard, while laws, markets, and policy frameworks remain too weak to support them properly. Françoise Kiza speaks strongly in favor of agroecology as an urgent response to the failures of conventional agriculture and argues that regional laws must protect farmers’ rights, local seed systems, and the value of organic and farmer managed production. She also raises concern that current policy directions, especially around commercialization and seed regulation, do not sufficiently reflect the realities and choices of small farmers, women traders, and communities on the ground. She also addresses wider structural threats, including ultra processed foods, highly hazardous chemicals, corporate influence on policymaking, and the growing danger of external control over African data and food systems. For her, food sovereignty means far more than production alone. It means protecting African traditions, African knowledge, African seeds, and African ways of eating from external interference and quiet forms of continued colonization.

Hi darling @ToniKroos You spent months criticizing Qatar and talking about every possible issue before and during the 2022 World Cup, yet it turned out to be one of the best-organized tournaments in history. Public transportation was free, fans could travel easily between stadiums some fans saw 4 matches in the stadium in same day, and the overall organization was praised by millions of visitors. Now, when concerns are being raised about visa delays, strict entry procedures, and travel difficulties surrounding tournaments in the United States, we don't hear the same level of criticism from you. There have also been complaints about organizational decisions and match arrangements that many fans consider unnecessary or difficult, yet your voice is nowhere near as loud as it was when Qatar hosted the World Cup. If your criticism is truly based on principles, then the same standards should apply to everyone. But when Qatar receives endless criticism while similar concerns elsewhere are met with silence, people are naturally going to question whether your issue was really about organization at all. Fuck you.
