#Togo, #EquatorialGuinea, #Cameroon, #Chad, #IvoryCoast, and many more..which corrupt autocrat will be the next coup victim? if only those coups brought peace, freedom, social justice for the people. Are military rulers providing that? Or is history repeating in #Africa

*Never* in human history a smaller share of the population lived with less than the equivalent of $2.15 a day.
In 1820 around 80% lived in extreme poverty. Today less than 10%.

Is Twitter just revealing the hatred that many have in their hearts for each other or reinforcing it? The world is a place of many conflicts but it seems that instead of healing them some want to widen them. How about mutual respect and smart ideas for peace and cooperation?
Twitter reveals that there is so much anger, one-sided thinking, malice and aggression in humans. How can we can stay sane amidst insanity? Love? Understanding? Respect? Solidarity? This planet could be a paradise and we make it a hellish place for many.
The more we feel insecure or threatened, the more we are looking for an explanation and the cause/culprit for our perceived threats. The more people are bombarded by information, the more they search for simple answers. Twitter bombards us and we are prey of confirmation bias
Somehow, this song crossed my mind today. Humanity seems have a hard time learning from past madness and its follies.
