Right-wing UK media coverage attempted to present Misan Harriman, the photographer, activist and chair of London's Southbank Centre, as a proponent of "antisemitic" conspiracy theories. It backfired spectacularly.

Mamdani closed a $12B deficit in 132 days, fixed 100K+ potholes, secured millions for gig workers, fined corrupt landlords millions, raised snow workers to $30/hr, and violent crime hit historic lows. THIS IS WHAT A LEADER DOES!!

Congratulations to Mayor Mamdani. He inherited a huge budget deficit, brought it down to zero, and still invested in childcare, housing and city infrastructure. When municipal governments stand with working families, not billionaires, there is nothing they cannot accomplish.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor

When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit. Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero. We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing. Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It's government that delivers for the people who make this city run. That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

Please we are in 2026 and there is documented proof that what you are calling investment is actually an extraction. This isn't Africa succeeding. it's Africa providing the labor and resources for a French stimulus package. True partnership would mean local processing of resources and capital that stays in African banks. Your €14 billion in investment is often just a circular loan. French companies bring their own materials, use their own experts, and then use their system to repatriate 100% of the profits back to Paris. If a French company invests €1 billion but extracts €2 billion in profits over ten years and sends every cent to Paris, the net flow of capital is out of Africa, not into it. You can't call it mutual success if the capital doesn't stay in the continent to build local wealth. And that's what has been happening. France "invests" the money, but it is paid right back to French firms to build the projects. It’s a closed loop that boosts French GDP more than African GDP.

Quand l’Afrique réussit, l’Europe réussit, et vice-versa ! 23 milliards d'euros d'investissements privés en Afrique ont été annoncés, dont 14 milliards portés par des entreprises françaises. Africa Forward est un sommet d'action.

"Our school is destroyed, there's nothing left." - Roa’a, 12, West Bank, State of Palestine. Her dreams of graduating grade 6 were shattered when her school - a place she loved to learn and play at with her friends - was reduced to rubble by settlers and Israeli forces. There have been 99 documented education-related incidents in 2026 alone, including the killing, injury and detention of students, the demolition of schools, military use of school buildings, and denial of access. Watch and share Roa'a's story.

The interim decision by the US judge gives me respite but the battle is not over. ICC judges and Palestinian NGOs remain sanctioned with no recourse to justice. The stakes are incredibly high. Please sign and share the petition: DEFEND THE DEFENDERS! petition.qomon.org/0b54a0b8-deman…

I welcome the decision of a US judge to block the unlawful US sanctions on my colleague Francesca Albanese, the Special Rapporteur on Palestine, and call on the US to stop any further reprisals against human rights defenders ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_p…

The Spearhead@Spearhead_Af·
Africa's "Modern" Constructions Are Climate Disasters Africa needs buildings that make sense for Africa. Too many of our cities are filled with glass, concrete, and steel structures that trap heat, block airflow, and force people to depend on expensive air conditioning just to survive indoors. That is the opposite of "development." It is actually spectacularly poor planning. Our ancestors understood climate before it became a conference topic. They built with the land, used local materials, created shade, allowed air to move, and designed homes that worked with the environment. Unfortunately, we keep copying people who never designed for our climate in the first place. Construction in Africa needs to be decolonized, and that must start with a mindset change and re-education.

A former paint maker who lost his 12-year career due to the Windrush scandal & lost his home as a result says after half a decade of fighting for compensation he has been awarded £1,147 for loss of employment by the Home Office scheme.
