Aadhaar has been the biggest weapon of mass exclusion. Link it with ration and people die of starvation. Link it with MNREGA and people are denied jobs and wages. Link it with electoral roll and people are disenfranchised. Delink MNREGA jobs and payment from Aadhaar.

Touched down in Lusaka and asked for a lift to go to East Park for Breakfast. Farai saw his dad's shop. Stopped us immediately with, "I want to go to daddy now." 😅 That's how my breakfast/Sunday date ditched me for his other parent. So today is Solo Sunday date at Capello.

I have seen reports (which i cannot confirm) that Wagner forces making headway toward Moscow & that Putin regime in disarray. If accurate, military & public support for regime is almost certainly brittle & that if support were to go it would soon reach a tipping point & go fast.

Putin is accusing Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin of treason. Prigozhin calls it a 'march for justice'. As the story escalates, here's a video from May about how, from the 80s to now, Prigozhin went from prison, to catering, to the Wagner group.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is wondering why russian soldiers are still sitting in muddy trenches rather than running to the aid of their comrades on both sides of the conflict. That would be far safer than confronting the Ukrainian army.

Today is a good day to think back on all the op-ed editors+writers, who published literally hundreds of "Hire Mercenaries for Peacekeeping/Afghanistan/My Pet Rock" essays, as well the Erik Prince's Powerpoint publicity patrol. Fortunately, Putin listened to them.

Putin has lost control of Progozin’s mercenary group (unlike Kadyrov, who is also unhappy w/war ops). This is a clear political challenge, could mark the beginning of the end (which could still be a ways off) for Putin, politically.
