it's nice to celebrate the French revolutionary spirit & its ideals of liberté, égalité, & fraternité. still, when Haiti tried to realize the universal meaning of those ideals 1791–1804 it was ostracized & made to pay reparations for its freedom. liberalism always had its limits

The US admin wants to take advantage of the situation in Sudan the way it's taken advantage of the situation in DRC. It stands by as its allies do the heavy lifting of razing, then swoops in as the usual wolf-in-savior's-clothing to pillage freely. #KeepEyesOnSudan

I wonder how some people find it so difficult to believe that their *government* can do something violent, destructive or heinous. Why are you surprised? Are you really that naive? Have you not suffered under their policies yourselves?

And these people are forced to choose dying inside a collapsing mine daily because the other option is dying from hunger / not being able to afford basic life necessities.

i dont think ppl grasp that the majority of mining done in Congo & Sudan is artisanal (& no that isnt a cutesy term for "boutique.") it means ppl (incl. children) w/ rudimentary tools & bare hands coming into contact w/ dangerous chemicals so ppl can have a laptop or a necklace.

A mother of one of those killed in Al-Wadi al-Shamali strike on Sat. Says he was her only son, he went there to help them survive. Her husband was killed in El-Fashir and she was displaced to Khartoum.

today is as good a day as any to remind folks that American MFAs & abstract art were both funded by the CIA...

Canada is home to roughly half of the world’s publicly listed mining and mineral exploration companies. In 2024, Canadian mining assets in Africa reached C$45.9 billion, spread across 106 companies. These figures underscore Canada’s substantial role in Africa’s extractive economy and raise important questions about corporate power, resource sovereignty, and neocolonial relations.

Opinion: It’s time for Canada to deepen its relationship with Africa

There is immense economic value to come from engaging with the youngest and fastest-growing continent

the UAE, Kenya, Egypt, the RSF & SAF are happy to get rich off of Sudan's gold. but when artisanal miners (who are how 80 % of the gold gets mined) try to make an honest living out of perilous work, they are bombed. the miners deserve to be more than collateral in this war...

it's great that defections are weakening the RSF...but, what does it do to an already belligerent military to invite former RSF into its ranks w/o consequence? will the SAF actually return to its barracks when the war is over? the writing is already on the wall #KeepEyesOnSudan

of course, a culture fed on reality television thinks a live streamed execution is a great idea...

i love when a book or film's ending is good you have to go back & reread or rewatch the third act all over again immediately after finishing it

RSF drone strikes on a neighborhood in Damazin reportedly killed 4 civilians. Thread on the situation in Blue Nile State. Summary: it's critical.👇🏾 #KeepEyesOnSudan

elite clamoring to shove zionism down our throats is a desperate attempt to quell the death knells of an ideology whose sanctity has been shattered & whose days are numbered...

TL flooded w people joking on this woman’s agony and the absolute immorality of the state’s failed execution. You can’t convince me that the existence of death penalty does not make Americans crueler and more ethically vacant.
