Artisanal mining has technically been legal in Ghana since 1989, but not for foreigners. Many of the galamsey mines are located in the forested regions that produce cocoa, another major export for Ghana. The mines are…
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer suffered a “total clusterfuck of Godzilla proportions”, being forced to totally emasculate his reform bill to narrowly swerve a massive parliamentary rebellion by his own colleagues, leaving his authority in tatters and fostering the unmistakable impression of a country that is rapidly becoming ungovernable.
