Steven Horsford, a Democrat from Nevada, Greer said, “Well, I understood the decision was made a few minutes ago. It’s something that’s been…

The Athletic has live coverage of the 2025 Masters Tournament. Golf Channel TV analyst Brandel Chamblee was on a Barstool Sports’ golf podcast earlier this week, and there is a fascinating clip where Chamblee reviews the words or phrases that TV broadcasters are given guidance on not to utter when covering the Masters.

But as aid organisations sound alarm bells and government officials wring their hands over suspended programmes, we are missing the bigger picture: Africa’s continued dependence on foreign aid is a choice, not a necessity. Our continent sits atop some of the world’s largest reserves of the very minerals that will…
