Trump's bringing five African heads of state to Washington. It's a bit of a confusing group. Minerals, but which ones? And if JNIM and the sahel is on the agenda, why not Ghana/Cote D'Ivoire/Benin?

Obsessed with the story about Kenyan livestock owners resisting a cattle vaccination campaign. So many parallels with farmer reaction movements in Europe
