"We believe that greater emphasis should be placed on this profession and that people should begin learning about it from primary school so that children develop a strong foundation and understanding of translation and interpreting," Kusanja said on the occasion of International Translation Day, celebrated annually on September 30. 🎓BAKITA is a government organization created in 1967 by a parliamentary act to promote, regulate, and standardize the Kiswahili language in Tanzania.

- Lavrov's UNGA Address Highlights Africa's Growing Role in Changing World Order: South Sudanese Analyst 🌍 The changing distribution of global power is giving African states more external options, but the continent needs stronger economic, institutional, and strategic capacity to make use of them, peace and security expert Malual Bol Kiir told Sputnik Africa, commenting on Russian FM Sergey Lavrov's address to the 81st UNGA. Key takeaways from the expert: 🟠Greater Bargaining Power: Africa should build economic strength through industrialization, intra-African supply chains, domestic revenue, and continental infrastructure rather than isolate itself from external partners. 🟠Stronger African Institutions: The AU and regional organizations should strengthen coordination, allowing African states to negotiate collectively where their interests converge. 🟠Strategic Capacity: Africa needs stronger research, technology, and defense capabilities, more transparent natural-resource agreements, and stronger security institutions and state capacity. 🟠Greater Global Influence: Africa should continue pursuing UN Security Council reform, greater representation in global decision-making, and stronger regional integration.
