New York times!!

[Emma tenywa]

The NYT ran a post relating to the Russia-ukraine crisis and claiming that it's causing hikes in prices in east Africa.


This is entirely not true, as the claim says. East africa has no major trade dealings with Russia or Ukraine. Basically Russia only sells us three things in bulk, that's ammunition, fertilizers and mybe oil(which the EAC gets indirectly even) the major staple food imported here is rice, which is imported from thailand, Vietnam and pakistan
Here, drought is a perennial problem and each year it gets longer,hunger is a common problem in war torn regions here and rural regions there's basically no heavy dependency on crops from those two countries,neither are they among the top trade partners.

Yes our media is nothing but bullshit propaganda. And normal Americans do not believe this bullshit either.

Must be an April fools joke that the NYT ran a false article given their bulletproof reputation

You did a great job of aggregating numbers to establish their false narrative.

Aha! The avatar is of a Zulu warrior in full cultural war regalia. They are ofcourse the synthetic version, not the original cheeter and leopard skins.

I read a book about an ivory hunter's travels all over Africa in the late 1800s - early 1900s. He talked about coming upon a large walled off city in west-central Africa, near what is Cameroon today...he was greeted by knights on horseback, that wore armor of arrowproof quilts. I thought that was cool as shit & had no idea there was stuff like that in Africa only about 100 years ago.
