Startups across Africa should do more M&A in Africa for geographic expansion, vertical integration & customer acquisition. #africaisnotonecountry
“I won’t be here in 30 years, but I don’t want my grandchildren and your children to still be on a continent that has the worst social indicators. I challenge all the leaders, to commit to turning this around in 30 years. Graça Machel @FDC_Moz

International aid often disappoints when gvt has broken down. Will sufficient health supplies get to Khartoum ? Need to ensure food, clean water and shelter for those who don’t get to leave. #SudanConflict #SocialJustice

Bias against women in funding still, at many levels. Funds are getting creative about linking with pipeline, enhancing networks and using data to remove info that may lead to bias.

I like my new #EAC #Uganda passport. It has #swahili sentences along English + French. Swahili gets our respect finally. It also has pics of #gorillas + #crestedcranes which I love. Is #eastafricacommunity alive and kicking? #Jumuiyayaafrikamashariki #linguist #MadeInAfrica

Bienvenido Veep Francia! Suerte!! History in the making #afrolatino #colombiana #latina ..This thread is so hilarious..ah, Africans ...
My favorite part of how Black people welcomed Colombia’s vice president-elect Francia Márquez are tweets saying she look like everybody auntie. Nigerians calling her Nkechi and Iyabo, Kenyans calling her Khakasa, and US folks calling her Kimberly😂😂 We all the same blood🤎🤎🤎🤎

Pleasantly surprised with @UG_Airlines so far - clean, on time from/to Nairobi and great service. Will it be profitable? #travelinafrica #uganda #CustomerService #businessinafrica
