Africa's Strategic Minerals and the Global Race for Control
Yea, local processing’s key, but only if ppl actually own the means. Otherwise it’s just the same extractive game w/ another flag.

Africa's Strategic Minerals and the Global Race for Control
Absolutely, Africa’s resources are huge, but without fair trade and local processing, most profits just leave the continent. Real growth needs control, not just extraction.
Africa's Strategic Minerals and the Global Race for Control
Africa is becoming a key player in the global race for strategic minerals. With its vast resources, especially cobalt, lithium, and copper, the continent has immense potential to drive the green energy transition. However, transforming these resources into sustainable economic growth remains a chall...
The U.S. government, seeking to boost its critical minerals supply, brokered a peace deal between militias in Congo. But new violence has broken out. #minerals #mining #trump

“Eat a healthy diet”
This sounds very reasonable and wise. And I'm sure that many people have no issues at all to eat all the "good and healthy" things that provide you with all your supplementary needs. But... I am definitely not one of those people! I have many issues when it comes to food. Smell, taste, the "feeling" of textures in my mouth... Sometimes things just smell amazing but when I put it in my mouth... A big gagging "nope!" happens and I have to spit it out again. Apparently, this is something that affects more NeuroSpicy 🌶️ people. When I looked it up, it even has a name: sensory sensitivity or oral/tactile defensiveness. It’s not about being picky or dramatic — it’s a neurological difference in how the brain processes sensory input like texture, temperature, or mouthfeel. So I guess it's definitely not just me dealing with this, and I know that I have tried so many things. But in the end, some of the more important vitamins and minerals, I need to get from supplements in order to get them at all. And there should be no shame in that. But it can be hard to read those warnings on the pill bottles, that the supplements can't replace a healthy diet. Because it makes me feel like I am not doing my best to eat properly and responsebly.

🍎 Post Workout Recovery Meals 🥗
Post-workout meals are all about repairing what you just broke down and refilling what you just used.
When you train, your muscles experience tiny micro-tears and your body burns through stored glycogen for energy.
👉 Combine Protein + Carbs for Faster Repair
👉 Aim for 20–35g of Protein Within 1–2 Hours

Why Micronutrients Matter? 🥗
Micronutrients are your vitamins, minerals, and essential elements may be small in size, but they play a massive role in your body’s ability to build muscle, recover, and perform.

No surprise - #China, alone, is calling for the removal of #minerals from the Just Transition Work Program at #COP30 #climate talks
Well, no surprise to me. The press release from civil society makes the absurd claim that China is "uniquely positioned to champion a just and equitable approach to transition minerals."
Do they really think a authoritarian country, whose #cleantech industry uses #forcedlabor and #landgrabs of #Tibetan and #Uyghur land/bodies will really "champion" justice?
