Unveiling the Fulani: Genomic Study Sheds Light on Migration and Diversity in Africa
🌍✨ #GlobalSouthPole | “When we talk about the Fulani, we’re not talking about just one genetic profile. We are talking about multiple stories—some from West Africa, some from North Africa, even traces from East Africa. Their DNA is a map of movement,” Dr. Cesar Fortes-Lima, population genomics instructor at Johns Hopkins University, said.
🧬 Centuries of migration, adaptation, and exchange have shaped the Fulani into one of the most genetically diverse pastoralist communities in the world. This new study doesn’t just answer questions—it opens new ones about who the Fulani are and where they’ve been.
❓ What can DNA tell us about identity, migration, and belonging?

Tech Sovereignty: 'Africa Doesn't Lack Talent,' Nigerian Entrepreneur Says
Africans lack infrastructure, support, and "belief in ourselves, maybe," Benjamin Oyemonlan, Nigerian technology leader and entrepreneur, told Sputnik Africa.
He noted that he is addressing these issues by building platforms like Platnova, Zap.Africa, and Shortlet App which will provide Africans with access to money, financial tools, and opportunities.
🗣 "For me, tech is not just about software; it's more about an identity. It's like an empowerment, like a voice," the entrepreneur said.
Oyemonlan added that he is ready to do whatever it takes to "drive Africans to the digital age, one app at a time."

Africa’s Biggest Gold Mine in Ghana Put on Hold
Key facts:
🟠AngloGold Ashanti & Gold Fields have hit pause on their plan to merge Ghana’s Tarkwa & Iduapriem gold mines – two years after announcing what could’ve been Africa’s biggest gold mine.
🟠The decision comes as the Ghanaian government has yet to grant regulatory approval.
🟠With no progress made, both companies are shifting focus back to improving performance at their existing sites.
🟠The proposed joint venture would’ve been 60% owned by Gold Fields, 30% by AngloGold, and 10% by the Ghanaian government.
🟠The mine was expected to produce 900k oz/year in the first 5 years and 600k annually over 18 years.
🟠While the mega mine is on hold, both companies are doubling down on current operations.
