Ainda não encontrei um banco angolano onde tenha tido uma experiência de utilizador totalmente positiva. Abri pela primeira vez uma conta empresa no BFA e até começou bem, mas já estou há 10 dias à espera que o meu Internet Banking funcione. É obra.
In the latest @ZitamarNews Angola Briefing, Club-k’s @josegama99, Mozambican journalist Fernando Lima and I discuss Higino Carneiro’s exclusion and the MPLA’s road to the 2027 elections. You can watch it here: youtube.com/live/1u4ej4QvPP8…

A Singapore Airlines voa os mesmos Boeing 787 da #TAAG e Changi (SIN) foi contratado para melhorar os aeroportos de #Angola. Então, porque uns ganham Óscares e outros ficam com os Razzies?

Muitas lições aprendidas das eleições no Brasil e na Sérvia, principalmente sobre a importância da taxa de participação eleitoral, da afluência às urnas, e de uma estratégia viável de participação política massiva. Por isso o trabalho da @mudeiangola e outros ser essencial aqui…

🚨 Lula Mounts Comeback, Wins Brazil Election
With 96% of polling stations counted, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has pulled ahead of Flávio Bolsonaro by about 4.1 million votes, 51.73% to 48.27%, according to Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE). Projections show Lula winning a fourth presidential term against the son of jailed former President Jair Bolsonaro, who beat him by more than 2 million votes in the first round and led the early count tonight.
Datafolha, the polling institute of the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, has called the race for Lula. So has Andrei Roman, CEO of the pollster AtlasIntel, even though his firm's final poll on Saturday had Bolsonaro narrowly ahead. The Brazilian outlet ICL also called it for Lula. The TSE has not yet declared an official result.

Over the past 20 months, the Latin American left has lost seven out of seven presidential elections. Tonight, it increasingly looks as if Lula will end the right’s winning streak, in what would amount to a strategic defeat for Trump, who has systematically sought to strengthen the Bolsonaro family.

I've joined @zitamarnews as contributing editor in Luanda. Our latest Angola Briefing, with Fernando Lima, on Lourenço's State of the Nation: inflation and debt are down, non-oil growth is real, but I'm sceptical of the jobs numbers. You can watch it here: youtube.com/live/n6Y4NqvPiN8…

Absolute banger of an essay on African cities from @Jacob_Judah @davidpilling @FT !! Thread of excerpts below ⬇️
"Cities are the crucible of modernity. Their rise in Africa will affect everything from income and economic growth to social attitudes and politics." 🌆🌆

.@RoadsKingdoms has shaped how I see travel, food and politics more than almost any other publication or outfit. So I'm proud to have a Luanda story in Issue 2, The Sixth Taste, their second print issue. A thread on why this one matters to me. 🧵
Luanda is a city that rewards patience and a second look. It feels right to see it on the page in an issue about how context changes everything. The R&K 50, their unranked list of the restaurants chefs and writers treat as second homes, is back too.
In a moment when everything is optimised for the scroll, there is something quietly defiant about a print magazine that asks you to slow down and turn the page. Get a copy here: roadsandkingdoms.com/product…
Estes dois últimos parágrafos do editorial de hoje do @novojornalAO espelham bem o desastre financeiro, económico e social que foram estes 10 anos de governação do partido que governa Angola. Os números dão uma frieza dura às coisas.
