The Leiden University Center for Science and Technology Studies CWTS group has new university rankings that add open-data sources to the traditional list of top journals, which were previously the standard.
Common university ranking systems carefully consider research reputation and scholarship, including real-world impact and application. But tens of thousands of scientific and engineering journals are omitted by Western university ranking systems, especially those not written in the English language.
Simply by including the journals in the OpenAlex databases, Chinese universities vault to the top of global rankings for research universities, snagging six of the top nine spots, and ten of the top 20.

Hausa architecture of Northern Nigeria and Niger Republic
// Architecture haoussa du Niger et du Nord du Nigeria.
ENGLISH (French below/Français plus bas):
Hausa architecture is a distinct sub-style among the different Sudano-Sahelian architectural styles found throughout the Sahel-geographic band of Africa. It is mostly prevalent in the Hausaland region (North Western Nigeria and Southern Niger Republic) inhabited by the Hausawa people, but the previous popularity of Hausa architects brought it to Northern Niger and Cameroon. The one or two storey buildings are made with dry mud bricks. They are characterized by the extensive use of parapets, the stucco detail used for decoration on the facades, and the Hausa vault.
Different types of urban houses, royal palaces and mosques can be seen in this video,
FRANÇAIS :
L’architecture haoussa est une branche distincte de l’architecture Soudano-sahélienne du Sahel africain. On la retrouve principalement dans la région du Pays Haoussa (Nord-ouest du Nigeria et Sud de la République du Niger), habitée par le peuple Hausawa ou Haoussa, mais la popularité ancienne des architectes haoussas l’a amenée jusqu’au Nord du Niger ou du Cameroun. Les bâtiments, d’un ou deux étages, sont construits avec des briques en terre séchée. Ils sont caractérisés par l’usage récurrent de parapets, de détails en stuc pour la décoration des façades, ainsi que de la voûte haoussa. Divers exemples de maisons citadines, palais royaux et mosquées sont présentés dans cette vidéo.

Captain Ibrahim Traoré addresses Burkinabe citizens and African students in Moscow following Russia’s Victory Day celebration. In this powerful speech, he calls on Africa to embrace practical science and pursue self-reliance in military and technological capabilities—specifically nuclear development—as a path to true sovereignty. Traoré criticizes Africa’s continued dependence on foreign powers and highlights the need to learn from Russia’s scientific and military progress. His visit underscores strengthening ties between Burkina Faso and Russia in the fight against neocolonialism. Watch the full English-translated speech and share your thoughts in the comments.

Snippet of an interview by Mansa Foday Ajamu on Pan Africanism and the Historic Role of Sierra Leone w/ Sister Afiyah Koosman
This video breaks down the ancestral legacy of post pharaohnic populations among the Mande peoples of West Afrika.
The theme for the forum is “Leveraging Technology to Prevent Post Harvest Loss”.
Sufficient Food Supply is imperative for an economy to thrive especially in these times of uncertainty. Research has shown that global food production has reached a record high in recent years; however, one third of all food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted, this is equivalent to 1.3 billion tons.
Some of these losses occur on the farm, during harvest, gathering, and others occur while commodities are in transit, during offloading (due to poor handling), and in varying degrees in the entire value chain and this has led to food insecurity for millions of families in Nigeria and across the World.
In some developing countries, small holder farmers regularly lose 40 percent of their harvest due to inadequate storage facilities or equipment.
Achieving zero loss in Agriculture is unfeasible; however, we can reduce this loss to a large extent by continually creating awareness and building waste management capacities.
