Hello fediverse friends.

And If you're in Africa, warn friends and family about the dangers of job offers from Russia that seem too good to be true. You’ll end up as cannon fodder.

While the degree of suffering differs, this phenomenon causes universal suffering to victims from around the world, from the US to Kenya, from the UK to Uganda.

Hope to share some more of my findings with you in the coming days. If you went through yet another long thread of mine all the way to thisnpoint, thank you your time is appreciated🙏🏿

Story dropped on Sunday. If you're in Canada, the story will be available in tomorrow morning's newspaper.

Yours,

@VoordeMus well aware. Larry Madowo, great Kenyan journalist at CNN...has produced multiple reports on that topic in recent weeks.

@ZekuZelalem I know it may be a ridiculous detail to focus on among the horror of the whole thing, but what's with the exceptions on the nationality?

@ZekuZelalem what are your thoughts on meta's involvement in the coup?

[sabrinaweb71@sociale.network]

@ZekuZelalem now I'm curious about why they exclude for example Nigerians or Pakistanis

[zekuzelalem@dair-community.social]

@oblomov I asked. In Cambodia, apparently authorities at the airport are very likely to follow and stop arriving Nigerians, Pakistanis and Ethiopians, because too many people of these nationalities have been trafficking victims. The criminals likely want to avoid certain nationalities to reduce the risk they face of getting followed, spotted and then jailed by Cambodian police on trafficking charges.

@MamaLake I'll be frank with you, I'm not as informed on Meta enabling the coup. I am aware of Meta's role however, in amplifying hate speech and facilitating genocide of the Rohingya in 🇲🇲years earlier

@ZekuZelalem thanks for that honesty, I've got a hunch that they've been stoking the fires for this for a long time.
