Realizing the geopolitical and geoeconomic promises of undersea cables requires more than #infrastructures only, as @etiennehoera.d-64.social and I show in a joint piece for @megatrends-afrika.de:

Megatrends Afrika @megatrends-afrika.de · Jun 2

BREAKING: Wow, es bewegt sich etwas. Der Osten steht gerade als erstes auf und läuft #SturmgegenMerz. Proteste in Leipzig (Video hier), Dresden, in Berlin wurde sogar gerade eine CDU-Parteizentrale besetzt! Die demokratische Gesellschaft will nicht tatenlos zusehen bei ihrer Beerdigung. 💪
