The Finns Party wants to increase to birthrate in Finland and decrease the birthrate in Africa, and claims this policy is about climate change. Here are per capita CO₂ emissions in Finland compared with countries in East Africa:

Fascinating piece and premise ("writing international history from ordinary places"). In this case the places are Ghanaian classrooms as they were shaped by the country's international policies and orientations. Well worth a read. #twitterstorians

I wrote this piece on the collision between British neocolonialism and Zambian nationalism around arms sales in the late '60s and early '70s. In the first of two ZSSJ special issues on Kenneth Kaunda's life and legacy. scholarship.law.cornell.edu/zssj/vol9/iss1…

Looking forward to our panel tomorrow at #AHA24 "The Business of Independence: De/Recolonizing African Political and Cultural Economies". I'll offer some tentative thoughts on ZIS and nation-making.

“Israel joins a dubious club of authoritarian governments to ban [Al Jazeera]. And the government may not be done. The prime minister has the authority to target other foreign media that he deems to be acting ‘against the state’.” - Foreign Press Association

The IDF says it is telling civilians to evacuate parts of Rafah ahead of a planned offensive, but our recent investigation into similar past warnings showed safe zones were repeatedly targeted anyway.

My predecessor Patrick Leahy wrote the law that bans U.S. aid to foreign military units that violate human rights, yet multiple administrations have failed to equally implement the law. My colleagues and I are calling for the consistent application of the Leahy Law to the IDF.
