🆕@AgbogaVictor's research shows that party switchers in #Nigeria benefit by gaining ballot access even though they face party retaliation. The persistence of two main parties despite such frequent switching challenges the notion of weak parties in Africa.

🆕@karolczuba argues that #Uganda’s regime extended to #Karamoja in order to subdue and exploit the region. Uneven state capacity is thereby used as a coherent strategy for control rather than a sign of an incongruent political system.

The inside story of why Netflix dropped the film adaptation of ‘Maximum City’: because the director Anurag Kashyap criticized the Modi government.
21 Nov 2023
Today, shows are scoured, re-edited to cut scenes of praying or god names. Greenlit projects like Suketu Mehta's Maximum City are quietly dropped. The RSS told us they don't want negative portrayals of India and Hinduism. "It's invisible censorship," said Anurag Kashyap
