The Dune films are based on the best-selling books by Frank Herbert, an author said to have been heavily inspired by the Middle East, North African and Islam. Courtesy of Warner Bros. PicturesDespite the film's obvious inspirations, there are no leading actors of Middle Eastern or North African heritage. Like, Dune can be Muslim, but not too Muslim.

Why shiny, high-tech solutions won’t solve one of Africa’s worst crises
For example, they’ve offered ways to connect with veterinarians, compare market prices for animal feed, and use satellite data to find seasonal migration corridors and track brushfires. A screenshot of a tool developed by Orenstein and others that call center agents use to provide herders with location-specific data. “Instead of asking them, ‘Do you need rainfall information?’ I would say, ‘What kind of information do you need? Previously, reliable information was severely lacking, in part because there were not enough ground stations and in part because satellite data was available only for urban areas. And it’s a far cry from the kinds of higher-tech applications NGOs and development organizations have been promoting.

Algeria: UK think-tank confirms possibility of postponing upcoming presidential election – The North Africa Post
The presidential election delay was first tackled by an Algerian political leader and some Algerian experts before some independent Moroccan analysts addressed the subject matter. But APS unfairly targeted Morocco with calumnious statements, violating all codes of ethics of professional journalism. Secondly, the military has not yet come up with an alternative candidate because they are overly preoccupied with fighting amongst themselves. Domestically, a postponement would raise an outcry but one that would be containable because most Algerians no longer care about them. If the election is postponed, the regime would need to justify the decision.

From fake news to insults, the moral decadence of Algeria’s state media – The North Africa Post
All over the authoritarian world, state news agencies serve to reflect the mindset, policies, and official positions of their regimes. As it hit the bottom and continues to dig, Algeria’s state news agency APS moved from spreading propaganda and fake news to outright insults. Blinded by its endemic hostility to Morocco’s territorial integrity, the Algerian regime’s mouthpiece has hit absurd levels in attributing false statements and positions to countries and global bodies. In October 2021, the UN has denied as false reports by Algeria’s APS that Morocco “failed” to become a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). In response, OHCHR spokesperson Rupert Colville lashed out at the Algerian news agency’s “false information” in a fiery statement.

Algeria doubles down on provoking Mali – The North Africa Post
Bamako’s top military rulers accused Algeria in a statement of stoking separatism and terrorism as well as interfering in Bamako’s domestic affairs. Tebboune was seen hugging Dicko at the inauguration of the biggest mosque in Algeria. Kokalla Maiga was speaking as Algeria conducts live ammunition military drills near the Malian borders. As Niger has previously rejected Algeria’s self-serving mediation, the Sahel recalls the destructive role of Algeria in stoking terrorism in the wider west Africa. As an indicator of a diplomacy in disarray, Algeria has chosen the path of diplomatic provocation and live ammunition drills to deal with its crisis with Sahel countries.
