It's unbelievable how somebody can be hell-bent on destroying a country that has 50M People and those 50M people are quiet like they have another country they can go to. Every decision that he makes causes more pain to the 50M people.

Hegemony today is not direct occupation. It is a system of IMF policies, foreign bases, unequal trade, controlled media, and education that reproduces dependency. Control no longer needs a visible empire.

A strong manifesto from any African political party or presidential candidate should be concise and focused on core structural changes: 1. We will expropriate and redistribute land. 2. We will arrest all past and present politicians and expropriate their wealth. 3. We will nationalize our natural resources. 4. We will cut ties with the IMF and the World Bank. 5. We will repudiate odious debt. 6. We will industrialize the country. 7. We will provide free, high-quality education and healthcare. 8. We will close all foreign military bases. Anything beyond this should be dismissed as storytelling and bourgeois conmanship.

As someone who has been studying the transition between colonialism and independence, this is shocking but perfectly understandable. The British spent the 1950s and 60s training Africans to take over the civil service. Many colonial officers officially remained in charge of key Kenyan sectors, yes, as employees, up to the 1980s. We are talking about twenty years after so-called independence. The current president and his agemates were educated under those dynamics. And the guy has never had a career outside of the government. This is all he knows. In Kenya, the civil service calls this "international standards," or "international cooperation." For them, colonialism ended in 1963 and referring to imperialism is "irrelevant theory." I've attended workshops training us to implement European policies and the question of decolonizing anything is treated as irrelevant. What matters is "serikali imesema" (the government has said so). But I no longer know what to think after Kenyans accepted racist arguments by the civil service to destroy the school system. Maybe this is democracy. It's what Kenyans want.

Kenya Ratifies Defence Pact Granting Immunity to French Troops Kenya’s parliament has ratified a new defence pact with France, presented as a partnership on maritime security and free trade in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. But beneath that language is a troubling immunity clause that shields French troops from prosecution in Kenya. In simple terms, if a French soldier violates the rights of Kenyan citizens while operating under this agreement, Kenyan authorities would have no real power to hold them accountable. This raises serious questions about Kenya’s sovereignty and why African governments continue to sign agreements that protect foreign military personnel more than their own citizens.

Great observation! A lot of the trauma Zimbabwe (land redistribution) and now #SouthAfrica (xenophobia and land redistribution) are experiencing is a direct result from Kenya's war of Independence (Mau Mau rebellion) as most of Kenya's original settlers fled the fighting and settled in Zimbabwe and South Africa as southern Africa was to be last stand of settler colonists in Africa as the independence wave swept from Ghana down across Africa. Keep being intellectually curious, observant, and inquisitive

This cost them about $1 trillion. The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people. And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.

US AND UAE FUND MILITIA TO “GUARD” CONGO MINES A disturbing new development in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is reigniting allegations of neo-colonial plunder. The US and UAE are reportedly set to fund a private militia projected to reach 20,000 personnel by 2028, tasked with "guarding" the DRC’s 22 mining provinces. The DRC provides over 70% of the world’s cobalt, is a primary supplier of coltan, and holds roughly 10% of global copper reserves, making it central to the minerals powering electric vehicles, smartphones, and AI hardware. Indeed, these minerals are a key part of the US and UAE’s ambitions to lead an “AI revolution," thereby arousing suspicions that the funding of a Congolese militia will facilitate imperial resource extraction. Following a US-brokered deal, President Donald Trump candidly stated the goal was to "take out some of the rare earth" and "make a lot of money." The UAE’s involvement has also triggered alarms that the "Sudan Model" is being exported to the DRC. Observers fear the creation of a Congolese version of the g*nocidal Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia: a mercenary proxy violently extracting wealth while bypassing state sovereignty. By funding a private 20,000-man militia, the US and UAE are effectively blueprinting a "paramilitary-industrial complex" to police the very resources they intend to loot. From Sudan to the DRC, the strategy remains the same: outsource the violence, fund the militia, and extract the minerals. True sovereignty cannot exist while foreign powers fund private armies to "guard" African wealth for Western gain. @VoxUmmah @venanalysis @qiaocollective @ProgIntl @KawsachunNews @OrinocoTribune @blkagendareport @SoberaniaPod

Este hombre llamado Timothy Brown, estaba comprando una botella de vino después del trabajo en Nueva York, cuando 2 policías racistas yankis le apalizaron salvajemente, le rajaron la pierna y necesitó 36 puntos de sutura. Los policías buscaban a un sospechoso negro y Timothy fue el primer negro que encontraron, así funciona la persecución racial en EEUU mientras dan lecciones de "democracia" a los demás países.

Surgeons and human rights organisations have reported that Israeli-made weapons used in Gaza are packed with tungsten micro-cubes and other fragmentation materials designed to maximise civilian casualties. The shrapnel consists of tiny, sharp-edged metal cubes (typically 2–4mm square) often made of tungsten. Unlike traditional explosives that rely on the casing for fragmentation, these weapons use specialized "fragmentation sleeves" to spray thousands of cubes at high velocity. Doctors describe "pinhole" entry wounds that are barely visible but cause catastrophic internal destruction, shredding organs, blood vessels, and bones. A high percentage of victims are children, whose smaller bodies suffer more extensive disruption from even tiny fragments. Medical teams have reported injuries consistent with DIME Munitions, which use a tungsten alloy to create a powerful blast that "slices" through flesh and bone, often resulting in amputations. These weapons contain tungsten, which is considered a potential carcinogen. Survivors face an increased long-term risk of developing cancer. Doctors have documented the use of white phosphorus, which causes deep chemical burns that can reach the bone and continue burning as long as they are exposed to oxygen.
