My latest: The #TPLF’s withdrawal from Mekelle on 3 October may mark the end of an era in Tigrayan politics. It dominated Ethiopia’s federal government for almost three decades, ruled #Tigray with an iron fist, and later held Tigray through a devastating war. It now faces an uncertain future. Its retreat has weakened the newly formed rebel alliance against Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and altered regional actors’ calculations, particularly Eritrea, which hoped to use it against Addis Ababa. Yet a military victory alone will not resolve the grievances that brought #Ethiopia to this point. panafricanreview.com/tplfs-p…

''The demand is morally compelling on its face. But it rests on a thornier question African diplomats rarely raise in public: even if the seats materialise, would they deliver the substantive change African states are actually after?'' panafricanreview.com/africas…

''Among the Maasai of East Africa, religious life centered on the benevolent god Enkai. Their rituals rely heavily on blessings involving milk, grass and cattle blood drawn from live cows without killing them, rather than on killing humans.''panafricanreview.com/human-s…

My latest article “This year, of the 520,210 students who sat for #Ethiopia’s School Leaving Certificate examination, 70,554 (12.8%) passed, while 87.2% (453,623) didn’t; that’s 20,000 more than last year, when the pass percentage was 8.9%. In a country plagued by civil wars and with increased recruitment of new ones, at times forced, the most probable option for this huge number is to join the state military, non-state actors, or leave the country using risky routes. These figures indicate much more than exam results; they highlight years of failed policies and systemic failure.” panafricanreview.com/ethiopi…

Ethiopia’s Lost Generation: Failure of students or failure of state policies? “Failure of this magnitude cannot be explained by weak students and schools. An examination can highlight weaknesses, but it cannot diagnose a problem.” @mkheirom ✍️ panafricanreview.com/ethiopi…

My thoughts about ‘The Jerry Falade’s $2million loss (due to AI use accusation), is now published on “The Pan African Review.” I spoke with Falade himself and he provides evidence of his work dating back to 2021 (before the launch of ChatGPT), hence got me thinking. You can read my thoughts here: panafricanreview.com/ai-lear… Also, @AnthropicAI Claude will be leaving digital footprint on works generated from it, to avoid confusion like this. You may also watch the below video on my views of the issue. cc @PanAfricanRev @TheOpEdProject
The Jerry Falade’s $2million loss is an important example that helps us examine how AI-detection software may unfairly misclassify writing by international students, immigrants and non-native English speakers as machine-generated. Is the system treating formal or predictable language as evidence of AI use, overlooking the influence of different educational, linguistic and cultural backgrounds? The issue is timely because schools, publishers and employers are increasingly using AI-detection tools to assess written work, but insufficient attention is being paid to how unreliable results may disproportionately damage the reputations and opportunities of people with international background, black communities, or non-native speakers.
