🇮🇱 An armed Israeli settler blindfolded and bound a Palestinian farmer in the West Bank. Israeli soldiers showed up, watched, and left. Out of 1,500 settler killings between 2017 and 2025 1 conviction.

SUDAN — 🔥 The U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee voted 44-2 to recognize the genocide committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Darfur and urged that the group be designated as a terrorist organization. Such a designation would be a crucial step toward curbing the flow of foreign weapons and countering external actors, such as the #UAE, #Ethiopia, and #Kenya that continue to provide the RSF with military and political support.

The UAE tried to get Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other Gulf neighbors to join a coordinated military response against Iran, and was turned down. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed personally called Mohammed bin Salman and other leaders. None agreed to participate. The UAE ended up acting largely alone. Source: Bloomberg

A misleading article accompanied by a deceptive AI-generated image will not change the reality on the ground. #Washington’s recent move has sent many of #Eritrea’s archenemies, detractors, and paid lobbyists off balance, forcing them to recycle old lies. x.com/Sertseyonas/st…
Cameron Hudson@_hudsonc

A good look at how Eritrea has squandered some of the most valuable and strategic real estate in the world. One wonders what Washington thinks it can do with a partnership there? abren.org/2026/05/11/eco…

By the way, China🇨🇳 and Vietnam🇻🇳 were both in the same bloc as Cuba🇨🇺, running failing communist economies while being sanctioned by Western financial systems. After realizing their economic systems were not working, they embraced Western free markets and cooperated with Western nations. Both benefited from access to those markets through the WTO. The other day, Secretary Rubio even called #Vietnam, still communist party, a strategic ally. #Cuba could have done the same.

What if this failed and corrupt Communist Party of Cuba🇨🇺 left the people alone after 75 years of failure and allowed them to reunite with their families in Florida🇺🇸, just 90 miles away? Secretary Marco Rubio is one of them — a first-generation Cuban🇨🇺 and the Secretary of State of the United States🇺🇸. Can you believe that? 👇👇👇

As global supply shocks push the industry back toward exploration, frontier regions must become proactive, not reactive. Oil & gas capital is highly competitive and increasingly selective. It will only flow toward jurisdictions actively promoting their oil & gas sector, engaging industry, and de-risking exploration narratives. For countries like Eritrea, this is a strategic window to capitalize on. The Red Sea remains one of the last major offshore frontiers. @AlexanderTekie
OilPrice.com@OilandEnergy

The global energy crisis is shifting strategy back to oil and gas investment, with majors warning exploration is the fastest path to new supply amid security concerns. #Oil #EnergySecurity #OOTT oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-O…

Once again, corrupt @AfricanUnion leaders are to blame. They loot their own constituencies while collaborating with exploiters. If a father doesn’t protect his household, who will? If you don’t eradicate corruption, that is your own failure. If you don't open the markets and allow the economy to run freely, the consequences are yours to bear. If you don’t protect your assets, the buck stops with you. African leaders have been saying this since the era of the founding fathers, yet they are the ones doing the looting. @PaulKagame is right; however, blaming others while failing to do your own job is foolish.

Africa CEO Forum
Africa CEO Forum@africaceoforum·
🎙️ @PaulKagame took the Africa CEO Forum stage and spoke plainly about what much of the world still finds difficult to name. 🗣️ His charge was clear. The same global powers that lecture Africa on democracy and human rights are, with the other hand, stripping the continent of what it owns. Sanctions, he reminded the room, are not always the instruments of principle they claim to be; more often they reward the highest bidder, falling on whoever offers less and sparing whoever extracts more. The cynicism, he noted, is not new. In an older century, kings handed territories to their in-laws and children to administer as they pleased, and today the same logic operates under different vocabulary, with a foreign power simply telling a chosen proxy to go and take whatever it wants from a given region. 💎 The deeper point landed hardest. For too long, Africa has played the role of a continent waiting to be ripped off by anyone shrewd enough and powerful enough to arrive at its door, and that posture has to end. "We must be able to say no," the Rwandan President insisted, before urging African leaders, public and private, to begin assigning their own value to their own assets rather than accepting whatever value others choose to recognise. 🌍 It is the question this year's ACF places at the very centre of its programme. Pan-African ownership, resource sovereignty, and the refusal to mistake openness for vulnerability are no longer aspirational language. They are the operating conditions for whatever African economic future emerges from the next decade. Kagame's intervention was not a lament about the world as it is, but a call to the continent's leadership to stop negotiating from a position of permanent disadvantage.

The truth about Cuba’s corruption, it has nothing to do with US sanctions. It is simply the result of a corrupt and incompetent failed communist party/generals👇👇👇.
Department of State@StateDept

SECRETARY RUBIO: The wealth in Cuba is controlled by a company owned by military generals who take all the money. This is a country where people are literally eating garbage from the streets, but this company is sitting on $16 billion. It’s a broken nonfunctional economy.
