"As African leaders gather in Beijing this week for the triennial China-Africa summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping may have one thing under his belt to boast about - satellite TV.

Almost nine years ago, President Xi promised the heads of state attending the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Johannesburg that China would provide over 10,000 remote villages in 23 African countries with digital TV access.

With over 9,600 villages having received satellite infrastructure, the project is now nearing completion.

The ambitious pledge, revealed during a period of warm China-Africa relations and funded by China’s aid budget, was entrusted to StarTimes, a private Chinese company already operating in several African countries.
It was an apparent show of goodwill and an opportunity for China to flex its soft power in a strategically important region."

China treats Africa much more seriously than the U.S. does and has really invested serious attention.

wary of

This shift not only highlights Africa's growing crypto enthusiasm but also underscores the continent's potential as a major player in the global digital economy, offering a promising wave for investors and entrepreneurs alike.

I’ve been traveling through pretty remote areas of Tanzania and I’ve been amazed that i’ve had 5G/LTE coverage through the vast majority of it

i cannot tell you how many opportunities i've had to pass on because of this problem. it makes me really really sad because that single unlock can change a lot of things on this continent imo.

For some reason the "African Man Time" came into existence amongst african people.

Creating at least a 2-hour gap before embarking on something or reaching a destination 😹😹

It's funny but also makes me wonder atimes

Mama Africa

Vast land of pure nourishment and productivity.

The charm of Africa is powerful and embraces the senses. Its moods are varied. The sun is intense, and the heat and light are everywhere. It is a great theatre.
