Here goes once again: This time I asked #ChatGPT to generate the hashtags for all Global South countries. Sorry for any mistake and I hope I'm not being too spamy:

Ghana’s parliament has voted to abolish the death penalty for all crimes except high treason, formalizing what has been a de facto moratorium on executions for the past three decades....
The Parliament of Ghana is considering a bill to prohibit the practices of witch doctors and witchfinders as well as preventing the naming or labeling of another person as a witch.
Ghanaian policymakers and civil society are making a renewed effort to resolve the contradictions of the death penalty. These efforts have led to two new bills due to be debated by parliament.
On European social media we often discuss American issues and talk to Americans on social media - but doesn't it make sense for us to talk more to Nigerians, South Africans and Kenyans, and about their news, because that's who's awake at the same time as us?
Let me know if you are from these time zones, in #Africa, and I will follow you.
In order to increase the diversity of Mastodon, it is essential to connect with accounts from the Global South and boost their content. Imagine a person from an African country joining Mastodon and not finding other people from their continent. This list is not very curated. Contains also some North African accs.

#Ghana's parliament has unanimously supported amendments to the anti-gay bill would make identifying as LGBT punishable with a three-year prison sentence.
People who campaign for LGBT rights could also face up to 10 years in jail.
Again, idiots obsessed with people's sexual orientation rather than other multiple problems we have that are life threatening such as corruptions, impunity and poverty.
An #influencer went viral for condoning #Shein’s labor practices. The real problem is much larger
"Some workers,... spend 18 hours a day churning out hundreds of pieces of clothing in exchange for a few cents a #garment.

The title of photographer Kyle Weeks’ latest project Good News goes back to the “constant stream of negative stories” he observed about his home country of Namibia, and Africa at large … “Why is there never good news?”
He found his inspiration in Ghana where he spent 6 years photographing the vibrant youth culture:
“The youth have such an authentic approach to creativity. They have a completely different frame of reference. It’s so authentic and unlike what I see in the Western world”
Lawmakers in Ghana are calling for legislation to govern the use of artificial intelligence. They argue that the tool could increase inequality and they want clarity over machine error. But its proponents disagree.
Until my 30s I found all beans and legumes disgusting, except green beans. I'd eat them if served them but would think to myself "FML this is disgusting." In my 30s I got introduced to some great Indian restaurants by coworkers and it got me to the point where I love them now and try to use them in more and more ways. I just had my first foray with black eyed peas this month. Later this year going to try to make Akara/Koose (a West African fritter made with black eyed peas). I'd love to be like Chetna and have literally a dozen varieties in the pantry but they can be hard to find. I still haven't found fava beans locally yet even! Dr. Lecter would be so displeased :(. Anyway, this is a great run through. I'm going to use it to step up my legume/bean culinary game. #food#cooking#Nigeria#Ghana#India#IndianFood#IndianCooking#PlantBased#legumes THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO LENTILS | Everything You Need to Know about DAL | Food with Chetna
The history of customary land in Ghana is complex, with traditional leaders or no leaders controlling access. Colonialism and globalisation have further distorted the system.
Researchers pored over satellite imagery to create one of the most comprehensive data sets on the global mining footprint ever generated.
The data set maps out in fine detail the boundaries of a combined 65,585 km2 (25,323 mi2) of mining sites across the world.
Nearly 10% of the total mining areas mapped in the study fell inside protected areas like national parks, Ramsar wetlands and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
