Few people photographed as many major events and notable figures in Ghana’s pre and post-colonial history as the late J.K. Bruce-Vanderpuije. In 1922, aged 23, he established the Deo Gratias Photo Studio in Jamestown, now said to be the oldest operational photography studio in West Africa. It was one of Anthony's daughters, who visited the studio in 2016, that identified him in the photograph. Prints of images from the archive, including the shot of Seth Anthony, were featured in a group presentation by Efie Gallery at the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair in London this past October. On 12 January 2024, Unveiling the Shadows of the Past: J.K Bruce-Vanderpuije – The Hidden Icon of Photography, the first gallery show to be dedicated to Bruce-Vanderpuije's work, will be on view at the Efie Gallery in Dubai.

The last time the Senegalese army communicated about the death of one of its soldiers was in January 2023, but military operations have continued since.

NEW YORK (JTA) – Long Island Republicans selected Mazi Melesa Pilip, an Ethiopian Jewish Nassau County legislator, to run in the special election to replace George Santos, who was expelled after he was exposed for alleged fraud and lies, including that he was Jewish. Pilip emerged as a likely contender to replace Santos when his lies were exposed soon after his election last year, and she was officially named Thursday as the candidate, nearly two weeks after Santos’ expulsion. The special election is Feb. 13. Pilip was 12 during Operation Solomon, the 1991 airlift that brought Ethiopian Jews to Israel. Pilip was among a broad swath of Long Island Republicans who denounced Santos and called on him to resign as soon as his deceptions were revealed.

The video shows an interview by a US-based journalist with two exiled opposition leaders in the US and UK — Nikaw and his party’s deputy president Ojulu Obala, both from the Gambella People’s Democratic Movement. However, the narrator in the misleading TikTok video uses only a fraction of the original interview to arrive at a misleading conclusion.
