What if #Ethiopia became the Switzerland of Africa? A landlocked nation with no navigable rivers is turning its #geography from a constraint into a strength. It’s building a future on #hydropower—but is that enough to create lasting prosperity? https://t.co/3CmIfaRO81

Do all parts of Florida really share the same climate, or are some places clearly more comfortable year-round? I analyzed NOAA data from 10 cities — heat, rain, freezes, and dew point — to find out https://t.co/TFCH1Z2bGU #FloridaWeather #ClimateData #FLWX

The Grand Renaissance Dam isn’t #Ethiopia’s finish line — it’s the foundation. If paired with connectivity, skills, and strong institutions, the #GERD could play the same catalytic role early infrastructure played for the Asian Tigers.

When should a leader step down? History offers hard lessons—from Rome’s Cincinnatus to Washington and Lee Kuan Yew. The strongest systems aren’t built by clinging to power, but by planning succession. #Leadership endures when it lets go. → https://t.co/dpPmZa8ETs #Governance

Why is #Singapore rich—geography, culture, leadership, or something else? The answer is more complex than any single factor. Singapore’s rise shows what happens when place, human capital, and governance align over time. https://t.co/gaKUX5h1cT #EconomicDevelopment #Geography

Beyond the Grand Renaissance Dam, #Ethiopia’s trajectory will hinge on governance. World Bank indicators on political stability, rule of law, and government effectiveness — all currently in the mid-30s to low-40s range — are the key signals to watch. #GERD

Most flood deaths happen on roads, not rivers. Just 12 inches of moving water can sweep your car away. “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” isn’t just a slogan — it’s a survival rule. https://t.co/A8zDVH0G5I #Floods

Flooding kills more drivers than any weather hazard. When every street turns into a river, even an ordinary drive can become deadly.
