Last update: 6 hours agoYouth & Jobs Ahead of Elections: With São Tomé and Príncipe heading to Sunday’s vote, voters say the biggest health-and-life issue is keeping young people from leaving—demanding jobs, new businesses, and better infrastructure like a port and airport. Community Conservation Pay: On Príncipe, tech entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth’s Faya Foundation is paying residents for pledges to avoid damaging activities (like sand extraction and unregulated logging), but early payouts are far below the advertised maximum, and critics say it should better align with government plans. Wildlife & Public Safety Mystery: Researchers are revisiting a historic “ghost” green mamba specimen in a jar to settle a 150-year identification question—important for understanding native wildlife and potential safety planning. Wealth Inequality Lens: A new global wealth analysis finds the richest 0.1% hold more wealth than the bottom 80% in many countries, including South Africa—an inequality backdrop that can shape health access and outcomes. Regional Note: A separate sports report highlights how Malawi’s coach warns against underestimating South Sudan—an example of how “small teams” can still cause major upsets.
