Botswana partnered with De Beers to keep 50% of diamond profits, then used the money to fund free education and healthcare. This smart reinvestment helped boost literacy, extend life expectancy, and turn one of the world’s poorest nations into a model of stability and growth.

UGANDA DISCOVERS GOLD DEPOSIT WORTH MORE THAN $12 TRILLION

Uganda's recent discovery of significant gold ore deposits, potentially containing over 320,000 tonnes of refined gold, could transform the country's economy and place it among the world's top gold producers.

📜 The Oldest Bible on Earth Was Written on Goat Skin

Long before printing presses, before leather-bound covers and gilded pages…
There was this.

An ancient Ethiopian Bible, handwritten on delicate sheets of goat skin nearly 1,600 years ago. 🐐✍️

Crafted in the early 5th century, it’s believed to be the oldest and most complete illustrated Christian Bible in existence.

Its ink has faded, its edges worn by time — but the stories remain. Vivid. Sacred. Alive.

Unlike European manuscripts of the same era, this one speaks in Ge'ez, the ancient liturgical language of Ethiopia. It reflects a Christianity untouched by Rome — shaped instead by African heritage, desert faith, and enduring devotion. 🌍⛪

Every page is a reminder that Christianity didn’t begin in Europe.
It took root in many corners of the world — and in Ethiopia, it bloomed with color, courage, and quiet brilliance.

Not just a book.
A living memory.
A testament.
A treasure.

Elon Musk took a joke coin with a Shiba Inu mascot and turned it into a conversation about decentralized currency, innovation, space travel — and yes, Saving America.

Hats off to Elon for making DOGE the most entertaining economics lesson in human history. 🚀

Arguably the most famous punch of all time was called by referee Jersey Joe Walcott as “one of the most devastating punches I’ve ever seen” #onthisday in 1965.

Yet it will forever be known as the ‘phantom punch’ because few in the arena saw it land. Even replays today don’t back up Walcott’s view.

No matter, whatever the truth, the shot that Muhammad Ali landed on Sonny Liston in the first round was followed by the most iconic image in history, as the champion screamed for the fallen former king to get up.
