One of the most drastic proposed changes would be eliminating the bureau of African affairs, which oversees policy in sub-Saharan #Africa. It would be replaced by a much smaller special envoy office for African affairs that would report to the White House National Security Council. The office would focus on a handful of issues, including “coordinated counterterrorism operations” & “strategic extraction & #trade of critical #NaturalResources.”

#Trump’s WH budget office has sought to understand the potential cost to maintain #Greenland if it were acquired…. They are also attempting to estimate what #revenue the #US #Treasury could gain from Greenland’s #NaturalResources.

…Trump has said repeatedly that the US will “get” Greenland.

“100%,” he told NBC News on Sat. Asked whether it would involve #force, he said that there is a “good possibility that we could do it without #military force” but that “I don’t take anything off the table.”

#Trump has White House studying cost of #Greenland takeover

The WH is preparing an estimate of what it would cost the federal govt to control Greenland as a territory, acc/to 3 people with knowledge of the matter, the most concrete effort yet to turn Trump’s [#delusional, unsolicited & unwelcome] desire to acquire the Danish island into actionable #policy.

3 people familiar…said the US had revised its proposals. The latest draft gives #Ukraine NO future #security guarantees & requires it to contribute to a joint investment fund ALL income from the use of #NaturalResources managed by state & private enterprises.

…It stipulates that Washington is given first rights to purchase extracted resources & *recoup* all the money it has given Ukraine since 2022, +INTEREST at a 4% annual rate, before Ukraine gains access to the fund's profits.

• "For the avoidance of doubt, such future sources of revenues do not include the current sources of revenues which are already part of the general budget revenues of #Ukraine."

• The fund aim is to invest in Ukrainian projects & attract investment in public & private assets including #NaturalResources, #infrastructure, #ports & state-owned enterprises.

• Contributions to the fund will be reinvested in Ukraine to promote "the safety, #security & prosperity of Ukraine."

• The 2 countries will establish a Reconstruction Investment Fund to collect & invest revenues from Ukrainian resources.

• Reps from both countries will jointly manage the fund.

• A subsequent agreement about the fund will be "negotiated promptly" AFTER the conclusion of this agreement.

• #Ukraine will contribute to the fund 50% of revenues earned from Ukrainian state-owned #NaturalResources developed in the future.

The Concept Of Indigenous GIS
--
Reading a paper (alturl.com/8wte5), they used the specific term ‘Indigenous GIS’ – and I found this intriguing!
As I read it, spatial data collection and analysis was done with a focus on how a tribe or social group might ‘see’ the data, including spatiotemporal....
I look forward to finding out more about what others are working on! – so PLEASE feel free to share any examples that you might have…
