The government is exploring expanded oil imports from Angola and Nigeria to shield SA from geopolitical disruptions affecting global supply. The shift forms part of wider cabinet discussions on energy security and long-term sourcing strategies. tinyurl.com/4du3s88v

Almost a week later, there seems to be no updates. Very sad.

Very disappointing decision by Meta to ditch an African contractor after its employees spoke up over this.

For all the talk of ideology, extremism, human rights - once again, oil is a big factor in the decision to wage war.

The 0.6% figure is an average of consumer prices. But dig deeper and you'll quickly see that some sectors have been rather dramatically affected.

If true, this is all the more reason to be worried - it points to internal disarray within Iran, and a military that decides policy for the government rather than the other way around. The end result? Long-term instability, with volatile fuel supplies and prices in coming years.

@Martianmin6871 @fishingis1st @FoxNews Go on...

@LauraAmyRoberts @fishingis1st @FoxNews I look at this like we have a violent bigger problem

BREAKING: At least 10 people have been hospitalized with gunshot wounds after a shooting at a lake party in Oklahoma. Police say the gunfire broke out during a late night gathering near Arcadia Lake. No arrests have been made, but officials say there is currently no threat to public safety.

The article explains that authorities believe the incident was an accident. I still don't get how this can happen. Surely the oversight has to be better - especially in a foreign country where personnel don't speak the language. bbc.com/news/articles/…

@fishingis1st @FoxNews Appreciate you writing back in a respectful and informative way. X needs more people like you, Robert.

America needs to start harshly punishing those who use guns unlawfully. We need real judges on the benches, not activist judges pushing a political agenda.This isn’t a gun issue. I know hundreds of people who have safely owned guns for 50+ years and have never misused them. Responsible gun owners aren’t the problem. What we need are stronger punishments and real consequences to deter this violence. Are we going to ban cars because people have started driving them into crowds? What about knives? People are stabbed to death far more often than they’re shot in many areas. The problem is criminals, not the tools.

@Alzutt69 @FoxNews Ok, obviously it's hard to hear that, but I'm willing to hear you out. Do white people and other ethnic groups do this significantly less? Is that backed by statistics?

@LauraAmyRoberts @FoxNews It’s black culture that decides to shoot up 2 am birthday parties. I want you to reform your rape and knife laws so I have to stop seeing young girls raped and stabbed

@FoxNews Dear American friends, maybe you can tell me how you look at this? From here in the UK, I'm tempted to see this as another reason why America needs to reform its gun laws. Why do so many of you see things differently?

@mo_slammer @FoxNews I hear that. People who break the law obviously do not abide by the rules. Fair. That said, if there were fewer guns around, then at least some potentially murderous individuals wouldn't be able to get their hands on a weapon so easily? And at least mass-murder would be rarer.

@LauraAmyRoberts @FoxNews Just make murder illegal and this will 100% stop.

@TheEconomist If he'd had his wits about him, he should have realised that with American debt swollen massively since the war on Iran started, POTUS was always likely to kick up a stink about America picking up the bill for defending Europe. Forget Trump for a second. The signs were there.

Friedrich Merz’s approval rating has fallen to just 15%. With the home front this restive, the last thing he needed was a tangle with Donald Trump. But that is what he has got economist.com/europe/2026/05…

@SkyNews Can't trust any side involved to tell the truth here. (Not equating the sides, but that's the reality.)

BREAKING: Iran has said it stopped a US warship from entering the Strait of Hormuz. Two missiles hit the warship near Jask Island after it ignored Iranian warnings, according to Iran's Fars news agency. Middle East war latest: trib.al/EjNHvn0 📺 Sky 501 and YouTube

@catturd2 In a way, he's more useful like this.

Fetterman should just join the Republican party and get it over with.
