I took pictures of these protesters raising Russian flags and calling for Putin's intervention in Nigeria. The Russian influence is steadily flowing from the Sahel to the North.

I used to think I was rational. Then I read Daniel Kahneman's Nobel Prize-winning work on human decision-making. He routinely asks 8 questions to expose cognitive traps you fall into daily. Test yourself with these questions (it's the ultimate BS detector for your brain):

William Ruto came into power promising to be a digital champion: Digital jobs, Digital government, digital everything. Instead what he & Kenya Kwanza are turning out to be, are digital tyrants. They've created a formula & they're perfecting it. My latest for The Continent 🧵
