Russia's Africa Corps marches in to replace Wagner group in the continent's coup belt (www.abc.net.au)
 

It may not be on the news radar in the English-speaking world, but the turbulence sweeping parts of Africa is the biggest challenge to French influence on the continent in 60 years.

Civilian governments backed by Paris have been toppled in military coups and Russia has wasted little time in taking advantage. The Wagner group was infamous for doing Russia's bidding across Africa, but now a new organisation loyal to Vladimir Putin is infiltrating the region's coup belt.

Epic lost their case with Apple regarding Fortnite, yet now Epic are looking to make Fortnite available on iOS in EU. But from the article it seems an alternate "app marketplace" would still need Apple approval anyway. It will be interesting to see how all this is going to work.

Exactly. I think the bigger question here is whether hand-soap is sufficient to use as body wash? πŸ€”

I went thru many of his songs after discovering "The Search". "When I grow up" is great ... the subtle comedy in the kitchen scene is brilliant. He's quite the lyrical genius!

Cybercriminals publish personal details of thousands of donors to Australian charities on the dark web in c/[email protected]

The aggressive sales tactics of the charity representatives at those little pop-ups at the supermarket and plazas are a bit shady as well, IMO. I usually manage to avoid them but the few times I have been stopped, it's never a pleasant/easy experience to get away. They are trained to sell this way, and I understand they need the donations, but it never leaves me with a feeling of respect for the charity they represent.

I cant afford to make monthly donations but sometimes I would like the option to drop a cash donation in a tin, or to make a one-off merch purchase. Unfortunately neither of these things are ever an option these days, so instead we get the hard sell and are left with a bad taste in the mouth.
