Last update: 9 hours agoNature & Community in Principe: South African tech entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth’s Faya Foundation has started quarterly payments to Principe residents for protecting the island’s environment, with adults able to earn up to 6,250 dobras per quarter (about $3.20 a day) for pledging to avoid damaging activities like sand extraction and unregulated logging—though early payouts are far below the advertised maximum and critics say the scheme doesn’t fully address wider local economic needs. Elections & Youth Exodus: Ahead of São Tomé and Príncipe’s Sunday elections, voters say the top priority is stopping young people from leaving, calling for jobs, new investment, and better infrastructure like a port and airport. Visa Rules for African Travelers: A continent-wide push for easier travel is gaining momentum, but data shows visa requirements for intra-African trips are still rising in many countries; Togo stands out for removing visa requirements for African nationals for up to 30 days.
