Africa: State Fragmentation and New State Imaginaries – Maritime Access in the Horn of Africa

[ad_1] Debating Ideas reflects the values and editorial ethos of the African Arguments book series, publishing engaged, often radical, scholarship, original and activist writing from within the African continent and beyond. It offers debates and engagements, contexts and controversies, and reviews and responses flowing from the African Arguments books. It is edited and managed by the International African Institute, hosted at SOAS University of London, the owners of the book series of the same name. In the latest development around […]

Africa: COP16 – Is This Our Last Chance to Save Nature?

[ad_1] Uckfield, Sussex, UK — As COP16 approaches, we have been reflecting on the state of our planet in 2024; the word "crisis" feels insufficient to describe the devastation we're witnessing. Forests that once teemed with life are disappearing. Coral reefs, once vibrant and full of colour, are turning barren. Species are being driven from their habitats, and extreme weather events like floods and wildfires are becoming all too common. These are not abstract threats--this is our new reality. It […]

Africa: The World’s Coral Reefs Are Bigger Than We Thought – but It Took Satellites, Snorkels and Machine Learning to See Them

[ad_1] The world's coral reefs are close to 25% larger than we thought. By using satellite images, machine learning and on-ground knowledge from a global network of people living and working on coral reefs, we found an extra 64,000 square kilometres of coral reefs - an area the size of Ireland. That brings the total size of the planet's shallow reefs (meaning 0-20 metres deep) to 348,000 square kilometres - the size of Germany. This figure represents whole coral reef […]

Africa: Impact of Red Sea Crisis On Africa – Red Flag or Red Herring?

[ad_1] Africa will feel the effects, but smart countries could derive some benefits from the Red Sea turmoil. Still reeling from the effects of COVID-19 and the Ukraine war, African countries face yet another geopolitical hurdle with the Red Sea crisis and its potentially significant economic ramifications. While current disruptions will primarily affect trade routes and supply chains between Europe and Asia, African countries won't escape the contagion. But smart countries could derive some commercial and strategic benefits from the […]

African Great Lakes Annual Meeting Shows Why Intercontinental Collaboration Is Essential

[ad_1] Kisumu — As the snow and frost and ice and seemingly inhumane levels of cold continue to plague North America in the midst of their ‘arctic’ winter, here in Kenya we decided to cut some of our American and Canadian cousins some slack. We invited many of them to head to Kisumu, on the shores of beautiful Lake Victoria, to take part in an important meeting of minds. Over 200 scientists converged from 3-6 February for the Annual Meeting of the African Great Lakes Stakeholder Network. This unprecedented collaboration brings together freshwater experts, managers […]

Africa: Microplastics Found in Nile River’s Tilapia Fish – New Study

[ad_1] The Nile is one of the world's most famous rivers. It's also Africa's most important freshwater system. About 300 million people live in the 11 countries it flows through. Many rely on its waters for agriculture and fishing to make a living. The Nile's two main tributaries, the Blue Nile and the White Nile, come together in Sudan's capital city, Khartoum. This industrial hub has grown rapidly over the past few decades. The Nile is not immune to the […]

Africa: Tiny Water-Walking Bugs Provide Scientists With Insights On How Microplastics Are Pushed Underwater

[ad_1] Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that can cause big problems when they enter the water supply. One way my fluid dynamics lab explores microplastic movement is by studying how tiny water-walking insects are pushed underwater by raindrops. Exposure to microplastic pollution can pose health risks, such as respiratory and digestive problems, increased risk of diabetes and disrupted sleep. But physicists like me can study how they move through water to learn how to clean them up. Water striders are […]

Africa’s Life-Sustaining Water Towers Have Been Overlooked for Too Long

[ad_1] International researchers' focus on ice to define natural water towers leaves Africa's critical systems off the map, and with little protection. Africa is a water stressed continent. It is home to 1.4 billion people - 18% of the world's population - yet has only 9% of global freshwater. By 2050, when Africa's population is projected to reach close to 2.5 billion, demand for already limited fresh water will be even higher. Yet it's not all doom and gloom. Despite […]

Rwanda: Kigali – Rwf20 Billion Needed for ‘Ecotourism Lake’ in Masaka

[ad_1] In a bid to enhance ecotourism and bolster flood management initiatives, Rwf19.8 billion is required to construct essential facilities paving the way for an ecotourism lake in Masaka sector, Kicukiro district. Davis Bugingo, the Flood Management and Water Storage Development Division Manager at Rwanda Water Resources Board (RWB), told The New Times in an interview on Tuesday.
