The Sudanese people are among the most proletariat of the proletariat: dispossessed, propertyless, oppressed, super-exploited, and alienated from their own land. Their sigh as an oppressed people is the sigh of all oppressed people. Their chain is interlocked with all chains.

Studied East African politics for like 3 years and post-2011 Somali politics literally might be where I draw the line, this shit is genuinely mind-boggling

The UAE sponsors the NBA while simultaneously being accused of supporting the RSF militia, whose atrocities have contributed to one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Millions have been displaced, hundreds of thousands have been killed, and an entire generation’s future has been shattered!!! Sudan deserves the same attention, outrage, and solidarity that the world gives to other crises.. Sportswashing can't erase bloodshed!!!! #KeepEyesOnSudan

My ancestors language 🥲I really hope one day we can decipher the stories they left behind

Libya is witnessing an escalating crackdown targeting Africans on the basis of skin color and religious identity, amid an extremist nationalist discourse fueled by conspiracy theories about ‘demographic change,’ which is being used to justify violence and discrimination against African migrants.

A nation that built great kingdoms while much of the world was still finding its footing. pyramids older than many people realize, hundreds of cultures and languages, and some of the most resilient people you’ll ever meet. Even after war, displacement, and unimaginable suffering, Sudanese people keep finding ways to help one another and keep moving forward.. That’s something worth bragging about! A thousand times yessss❤️

i think we should bring back the concept of waking up on weekends and watching cartoons first thing in the morning.

Shyness as a man has a very real price tag. The job you didn't go for. The girl you never approached. The room you walked into and stood quietly in the corner instead of owning. Nobody is coming to pull potential out of you. You have to put yourself forward.

The re_tards have completely misunderstood what Pan-Africanism actually stands for. They believe it is about hating and isolating from other groups. Let us be crystal clear: True Pan-Africanism means putting the interests of Black people and Black communities first.

The US Christian right pours millions into anti-LGBT initiatives in Africa every year. They use the continent as a testing ground for culture war issues that help them mobilize strategies in the United States as well. opendemocracy.net/en/africa-us-c…

THE UAE’S PORT IMPERIALISM In this compelling excerpt, former Ethiopian diplomat Mohammad Hasan exposes the Port Imperialism project spearheaded by the UAE’s Mohamed bin Zayed (MBZ) - a calculated geopolitical strategy to dominate the maritime lifelines of Africa and the Middle East. Hasan outlines a sweeping plan to seize control of critical gateways, with the UAE aiming to control every major African port stretching from the eastern Sudanese city of Port Sudan all the way down to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. The project extends across the Gulf to dominate all Yemeni ports up to Mukalla. The goal, Hasan suggests, is to ensure that Dubai surpasses Singapore as the world's premier maritime hub. But how did a desert state acquire the intelligence to execute such a vast maritime takeover? Hasan points to a colonial legacy. The UK, the former colonial power in South Yemen, reportedly provided the foundational data for this project. Indeed, by 1951, Aden was the second-biggest port in the world. The UAE is now said to be using that colonial blueprint to resurrect a new era of coastal control. The former diplomat further alleges that this project is not being executed in isolation. He links the UAE's Port Imperialism directly to the Abraham Accords to normalise with Isr*el, claiming that Mossad's second office is in Dubai and operates in tandem with Isr*eli and US interests to secure regional dominance. Thus, if the UAE succeeds in controlling the coasts, it can position itself as the gatekeeper of three continents, backed by old colonial secrets and new intelligence alliances.

People obsessed with being seen as good people are never good people.

Stop letting people consume you. They didn't call? Go to sleep. They didn't message you? Put your phone down and have a better day. They left you on read? Delete the conversation. They didn't make an effort? Match their energy. Never let your happiness depend on anyone.

NO ONE TALKS ABOUT HOW DRAINING IT IS WHEN YOUR MOOD IS CONSTANTLY SWITCHING BETWEEN "KEEP GOING, IT'LL GET BETTER" AND "I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE I'M ABOUT TO GIVE UP"

In a capitalist society, the only people who rise to the very top are sociopaths and malignant narcissists. The system rewards the ability to not care.

Neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtr EVERRRRRRRRRRRR look desperate in life. Suffer calmly. Like every great man before you did.
