Trophies are won on the pitch 🇸🇳⭐️⭐️

Although AFCON rules state walking off or refusing to play for a prolonged period is grounds for elimination, the decision to strip Senegal of the AFCON title two months after their trophy lift is a bad look for CAF. It should be within the power of the officials in real time to disqualify a team, but it's a hollow victory for Morocco to appeal and win in this manner, weeks after the trophy lift. Morocco accepted Senegal's return from their 10-minute walk off, gladly resumed play and took their penalty. Missing it, losing the game, then appealing to gain the trophy doesn't sit right, even if by the letter of the law there are grounds to do so.

The US is responsible for an attack on an Iranian primary school that killed at least 170 people, most of them children, Amnesty International has said in a new investigation, urging accountability for the assault. 🔗: aje.news/yfvnsw

The President of Brazil came out yesterday and said a few words that completely changed public opinion. President of Brazil: “We will not take instructions from Trump. We are not children. He wants us to enter the war and stop exporting food products to Spain, and we refuse that. Our relationship with Spain is good, and the world has become more advanced now. The United States imports wheat, rice, and coffee from Brazil every year, and the export of these products to them has been stopped. He wants to keep the Middle East in a permanent state of emergency in order to obtain its wealth. All Arab countries should stand side by side. You are strong and have self-sufficiency; you do not need this person. He is now asking for help, and America is going through a difficult period for the first time in its history. Protect your countries.”

Oyibo is fundamentally a liar. That is the most important thing to understand about how the world works. He professes "freedom of speech" but stridently criticise his precious Israel and see what happens to you. He professes "freedom of movement" but he places a 6-week visa application process with a 75% denial rate between you and him. He professes "electoral democracy" but he has electoral colleges, constitutional monarchies and unelected upper houses of parliament with hereditary seats. He professes "free market capitalism" but he imposes tariffs on you, subsidises everything under the sun in his local economy, and when you win anyway, he calls it "overcapacity" and tries to end the game and go home with the ball. He professes "individual liberty" for gays and transsexuals, but calls your ancestral polygyny "barbaric". He talks about "nuclear non-proliferation" but he remains the only entity to have ever actually used a nuclear weapon before. He funds the UN, the ICC, the ICJ etc. but the minute they issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, he sanctions the ICC Chief Prosecutor and passes the 'Hague Invasion Act' to shield his soldiers from prosecution for war crimes. He bitches nonstop about "illegal immigrants" and "white replacement" but no other population on the planet in the entire known history of humankind has ever left its home continent enmasse and violently seized 3 other continents, genociding the natives and outbreeding them at an industrial pace. I could go on for days. Point is, your enhanced understanding of how the world works and your proper place in it as an African begins the day you learn to completely disregard ANYTHING you have heard from any kind of oyibo authority figure or institution. Everything you have heard from him is a lie.

International Women’s Day Special Before Colonialism, African Women Had Power. What Changed? linkedin.com/pulse/internat…

#LetFreedomSing Let me repeat what I have often said on this platform , it is possible and indeed it should be the normal thing for all conscious Africans to do , namely : defend justice , accountability, human rights and freedoms whilst strongly resisting imperialism and coloniality of global power that seeks to turn Africa into a dumping ground , site of extraction, and continent of vasal states . There can not be freedom or liberation without dignity . No development is ever pro-people if it starts off by destroying the earth , their environment. To accumulate goods isn't development. Growing people , their confidence, self-worth , and life opportunities are always better . African leaders shouldn't be making deals and arrangements regarding natural resources and other critical assets that diminish African sovereignty now and in the future . They shouldn't hug a python in order to make peace . Imperialism will constrict and swallow them, and all of us ,if we are not fore-sighted

The Mandelson revelations might just be the tip of the iceberg. If he leaked government secrets once, we need to know if he acted in the public interest when negotiating trade deals with the US. Urge the PM to release all #MandelsonFiles act.globaljustice.org.uk/tell-the-pm-re…
