I am not sure the argument for corruption adds up, given Ukraine's global corruption perception index scores are comparable to developing nations in Africa and Asia.
I see this statement a lot, but I am yet to see it substantiated. My home country hosts hundreds of thousands of refugees[1] however, speaking anecdotally, integrating people is difficult despite common ethnicities, languages, religions and cultures.
As a black African, I still have sympathy for the people of Ukraine. Even on this forum, I have been accused of "stupid whining" when commenting on the plight of brown, foreign students who happen to be caught in this war.
Putin may be a lunatic, but the western world should check on itself.
I'll just remind you that the source article cites accounts from African women who just happen to be students in Ukraine in the middle of this unfortunate conflict. The rest of your still unsubstantiated comments are not worth repeating.
If this is "stupid whining" then I don't see how we can engage in a civil discussion on a very valid topic. Have yourself a good evening/ day.
To add to what GP commented here [1], African and Asian students studying in Ukraine do not deserve to discriminated against by Ukrainians, irrespective of the current difficult circumstances.
Your claims are still unsubstantiated and even then, these students, bystanders in a foreign war, have a right to safe passage without harassment from Ukrainian border guards or civilians.
Disinformation is certainly the correct term for what CitizenGo are attempting to achieve through this Twitter campaign. The proposed law in question, the Reproductive Healthcare Bill [1], does not change existing Kenyan law regarding termination of pregnancies.
The implementation of the Play Stores policies for consumers is also fundamentally broken. In my country's version of the Play Store, the number two ranking app is currently rated at 2.6 with multiple complaints of users losing money to an alleged scam.
Desmond Tutu was critical of Israeli government policy in the treatment of Palestinian people and even earlier when Israel maintained friendly relations with the apartheid regime in South Africa. This is also the same man who criticised Arab nations for refusing to recognise Israel as a sovereign state, sympathised with the historical atrocities committed against Jewish people and condemned violence from both parties in the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts.
There is no irony in celebrating the life of a man who universally condemned oppression and called for a peaceful resolution to one of the most complex conflicts of modern times.
As you have mentioned these are extreme examples. I think Singapore is the most interesting since it is the example politicians in my home country use to gaslight the electorate.
This doesn't actually address why an Asian Tiger like Singapore was able to rapidly industrialise or the difficulties of implementing good governance and economic policies.
I think the situation is far more complex than just blanket blame of former colonial powers for present day problems. It is also disingenous to expect such countries to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps considering the legacy of colonialism.
Okash is a payday lender with a notorious reputation for unethical business practices in Kenya [1][2]. With respect to this particular product it would be good to know what ethical standards and legal regulations are followed in the countries you operate in.
