To my African brothers and sisters please keep safe 🙏🏾 Remember that many of us South Africans do not align ourselves with what is currently happening. Ours is the freedom of all Africans from Neo-colonialism and imperialism.
Aluta Continua ✊🏿

We, the Lebanese and Palestinian, are the only people in history watching our genocide live, and we could get arrested or suspended for saying stop kill us, because it might hurt the feelings of the killers.

The African student who memorizes Western economic theory is not receiving a neutral education.
They are being taught to see their continent through the eyes of the people who designed its current arrangements.
They will learn about comparative advantage, the theory that says each country should specialize in what it produces most efficiently.
In practice, for many African countries, this means: keep producing raw materials, because that is your comparative advantage.
Do not process them.
Do not manufacture.
Do not climb the value chain.
Export the cocoa bean. Import the chocolate.
Export the cotton. Import the shirt.
Export the bauxite. Import the aluminum.
This is called efficiency.
What it is, actually, is a permanent assignment of African economies to the bottom of every value chain, guaranteed by a theory that presents this arrangement as the natural outcome of rational markets rather than as the result of deliberate historical policy, colonial infrastructure investment, and trade rules written by the people at the top.
But the student learns the theory before they learn the history.
The theory makes the history invisible.
That is the function of the curriculum.
"taught European gender roles,": Corrupting the culture . . . Smh
Interestingly, one early (1860s) route of European marketed “wax prints” into colonial Ghana was the trading arm of the Basel Mission Society. They taught European gender roles, instructing girls to produce clothes w imported cloth. Weaving had long been men’s off-season work.

"Seeing our country [Sudan] decimated, ignored, pulled apart and brutalised in front of our eyes has fundamentally altered us. Three years into this nightmare, what we need is a ceasefire."

Sudan is experiencing one of the most severe crises globally, marked by widespread hunger and an urgent need for assistance.
Around 21 million people are facing extreme food shortages, with famine confirmed in some areas and more regions at risk.
Since April 2023, approximately 13.6 million people have been displaced, while disease outbreaks are spreading and many health facilities are out of service.
Overall, 33.7 million people require urgent aid, and reports of ongoing violence indicate a deteriorating situation that demands global attention.

This lady is exposing Bill Gates
“Bill Gates is not a philanthropist because he gives a small amount of money to take control of entire sectors.”
A renowned scholar explaining Bill Gates is nothing but a very greedy corporate tycoon with no ethics.

🚨🇯🇵 This is not a B grade zombie movie. This is the Japanese left wing.
Elderly Okinawans shaking the gates of a US military base. Chanting. Resisting. Telling the empire to get off their land. For decades, they have been out there. Rain or shine. Ignored by Tokyo. Mocked by critics. But never silent.
The US built bases on Okinawa without consent. The Japanese government keeps expanding them. The people keep saying no. Fence shaking. Sign holding. Refusing to leave. They are not zombies. They are the conscience of a nation that sold its sovereignty to Washington.
Tokyo bows. Okinawa resists. While the Prime Minister hides from accountability, these elders are in the streets. While the government sends money to foreign wars, Okinawans are fighting for peace on their own land.
This is resistance. This is real. And the world should see it. Not as a joke. As a reminder that the empire is never welcome everywhere. And the people never stop fighting.

If you could travel back to 2015 -- let alone 2005 -- and explain that a founding leader of Al Qaeda in Syria will be made President with the help of the US and Israel, then warmly welcomed in the WH and western capitals, you'd be called a crazy anti-west conspiracy theorist.

Burkina Faso is one of the hottest countries on earth, yet 500+ students are learning in full thermal comfort, no air conditioning required.
This school’s thick clay walls absorb the heat, while elevated steel roofs push it out. Eucalyptus ceilings, local labor, rainwater harvesting, everything possible came from what was already there.
This is a technology institute built with the technology that suits our climate and needs. The West calls it “low-tech.” Africans call it working with your climate, not against it.
