Participantagreed, africa is victim to AI wars. this video speaks to what many soldiers returning from the last great war knew but like so many truths was obscured—so AI driven or not, i wonder: putin @ such a moment acknowledged this—fact.
who generates the AI? unknown. to whose end? this continues to give pause, does it serve empire? france? if not, could it be the axis have decided to influence the narrative?

KeymasterThe Resistance side lacks the moneys, and cruel cunning behind these slick productions with the authoritative british accented deeply intoning narrator. For every 90% of solid content, there is 5% or so of slander, or misdirection, or subtle poison. And even the Truth is used to spin 100% towards the desired goal – whether to build up any human into an unrealizable giant, or force him through carefully crafted image by external enemies into forced action to maintain the image, etc etc.
And they seek to harm relations between Russia and Burkina (or any other resistance) by coloring the relationship in ways not true, or holding Russia accountable for subsequent successful assassination, or not achieving developmental targets which neither side ever mentioned, etc. They’re shaping the terrain, for failure or attribution of failure in every eventually.
And most who love the global Axes of Resistance will fall for it – for these are extremely positive videos, what is not to like? They are driven to subliminally blame Russia for not doing enough — when history shows it is relatively easy to murder any individual anywhere. Note how Nasrallah was permitted to rise and build into an international colossus, until the trigger was pulled at the cruelest moment for maximum impact.
This is the new full-spectrum Hybrid War, using slick optics, beautiful imagery and audio, and imputing positions and relationships never stated or real in fact by the slandered, to craft the narrative towards the planned future crimes. Nothing new under the sun, except for the high-definition modern production

KeymasterSudan update.
You don’t hear much of it online. It’s because the tidal wave of return of Sudanese Armed Forces, under Iranian and Russian support, are rapidly retaking key parts and much of the country from another frankenstein Horde of mercenaries, UkroNazis, Anglo-French, Zionazi, UAE and gulfie salafis. The latter cabal increasingly resort to naked terrorism, including the recent dronification torching of the temporary capital of Port Sudan, on the Red Sea coast. Anglo-Zionists/Emiratis/UkroNazis play a key role in terrorism
💠 @Arab_Africa:
⭕ 🇸🇩 Current balance of power in SudanGreen color – territory controlled by the Sudanese Armed Forces
Red color – territory controlled by the Rapid Reaction Forces
[btw the map is deceptive. Before Anglo-Zionists severed South Sudan, Sudan was largest country in already huge Africa. Even today, with about a fifth chopped off, it ranks 15th largest country on earth by area. One of wealthiest countries on earth – in minerals (gold, uranium, etc) and meat (along with Somalia the top importer to arid arabian peninsula for eons) and agriculture. And location fought over by crusaders for eon, sitting directly across Makkah and in the northern Red Sea and as strategic to control of SLOCs as Yemen and Egypt. It literally, like Russia, has everything to be self-sufficient and a super power. But it has been mindwashed by Anglos for centuries and imploded by inadequate MB/salafi crazies]
⭕ 🇸🇩 Sudanese Armed Forces liberate White Nile province from SBR militantsSudanese authorities have announced that White Nile province has been completely liberated from Rapid Intervention Forces militants after regaining control of the Umm Ramtha district in the northwest of the province.
The day before, the Sudanese Armed Forces Command announced the complete liberation of Khartoum province from militants. As a result, despite the intensive work of foreign instructors from one of the Eastern European countries to guide UAVs to strategic objects in Port Sudan, the army continued the offensive and will see it through to the end.
On video: a fun movement between the army and the RRF in one of the provinces of Sudan
⭕ 🇸🇩 Sudan’s UN envoy accuses UAE of airstrikes on Port SudanSudan’s UN envoy Al-Harith Idris said the drone attack on Port Sudan, which began on May 4, was carried out from a UAE military base. Idris said their intelligence indicated the use of drones, presumably MQ-9B or MQ-9, as well as other kamikaze drones. Electronic, reconnaissance and other information, including targeting, is provided by UAE Navy warships in the Red Sea.
Idris also said the attacks could be a response to the Sudanese military’s May 3 operation that resulted in the destruction of a UAE military aircraft in the city of Nyala.
As for the transport plane destroyed on May 3 at Nyala airport, local sources claim that 70 SBR fighters heading abroad for treatment were killed in the strike. Among the dead were also foreigners of European and Arab appearance, whose bodies were later taken to Chad. The plane itself flew to Chad to the Um Jaras airfield on the evening of May 3, but returned a few minutes later due to weather conditions, where it was destroyed by the Sudanese Armed Forces.

This issue between Mali and Algeria is heartbreaking. The ancient arabs have an old saying, “me against my brother, my brother and I against our cousin; my brother, I and our cousin against the outsider”. This appears applicable to most neighbors worldwide on a geopolitical historical view.. How many centuries of such deranged wars between the Anglos and the French? The Russkies in Novorossiya still go at it today, to detriment of both! The Indians and Pakistanis..
I haven’t followed this specific issue closely, except to note (1) Algeria is not a friend to terrorists, and (2) both remain afflicted with Frenchie intrigue to this day. Several times after Algeria gained independence, the West sicced the salafi Horde on them. So they would be among the last to sponsor them. And only Frenchie (and zionazis) benefit from Mali and Algeria being hostile to each other.
How was it done?
I suspect the Tuareg desert bedouins, largely berber like Algerians, are surreptitiously supported by proud Algerians who refuse to recognize the 1885 Berlin Conference borders. Yet these Tuaregs are largely being instrumentalized by the West to destabilize Mali and the Sahel. Most of the 404 arms ratlines cross through the Sahara into the Sahel at Algerian-Libyan southern borders. Mali rightfully demands its sovereignty be respected and this plague halted. Algerians refuse to see the Tuaregs massacred, as the AES increasingly are forced to in order to halt Forever Wars.
So British Borders, and “freedom fighters” (to one side) and “terrorists” to the other side. And a glum Russkie in between. General Armageddon is HQ’ed in Algeria. And the Russian Army openly defends Mali and the AES! What a mess.
So at the heart is resolving British Borders, giving rights to what are minorities in most Saharan countries, but actually number in millions, spread all over, and supporting each other to detriment of entire region – like the Kurds, who also today largely serve Zion.

Participantempire’s diabolical separation of niger & nigeria is reminiscent of india & pakistan. laith some interviews ago, when asked to speak to the indian/pakistani confrontation, said something near to this (my faulty memory & habitual hearing whatsoever i prefer taken into consideration),”i believe the borders are aberrations, imposed, which in time will fall away, whereby the inhabitants will return to living harmoniously as they had previously for centuries.”
“Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight & as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated & has fine columns. The city is wealthy & industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.” (1691, portuguese captain lourenco pinto’s description of Benin City.)

KeymasterYes, malicious borders which divide and permit external rule of both are the root cause of much of Africa’s woes. As great a calamity as Sykes-Picot, and including the core duo of Anglo-French imperialists, was the 1885 Berlin Conference. These borders were carefully thought out with utmost malice, to perpetuate subjugation and underdevelopment, facilitating resource vacuuming and pillage..
The distraught and envious Germans convened this coven of criminals as little of Africa was left to them! But they still used the coven to create even greater horrors – the still extant borders at root of most intra- and extra-state strife.
This is what the current world war is about in the Ukraine and the Holy Land.
This informs the western white-hot rage at the AES, and determination to dissolve them through the same bestial salafi Horde as finally wore down Syria — the AES dared to confederate and dissolve the Berlin 1885 borders which permit unending external interference.
As recounted in above video by the leader of Niger – since this January the AES started to fight as a joint army to incrementally and successfully take back territory controlled by the Horde and other western proxies. And together they are quite potent, being almost 80,000,000 strong, mostly youth, and with top growing economies in entire world. And the experiences, instruction, arms, and other support of the civilizational-states are behind them.
So the West responded by escalating and openly commanding the Horde in a joint control room, and bringing in salafis, UkroNazis, mercs, etc from worldwide, under Anglo-French lead. Unbelievable.
The Pirates have no minds – just one-track aggressive bestiality. They’ll just get attrited into non-existence, as nearly happened in ww1. They never learn. Who can take on ALL mankind, as the lunatics aim?!
And no shame whatsoever. The same “Mujahideen” welcomed into the Oval Orifice by Reagan in early 1980s, then denounced by demented Shrub in 2001, now Orange in 2025 shook the hand of the Horde head headchopper in Riyadh. Anglo exceptionalism, zionazi messianism, and salafi extremism — the three monkeys of our End Times ..

ParticipantRiots erupted in Nairobi and other places around Kenya last week, when Gen Z went back on the streets to commemorate last year’s demonstrations against a controversial finance bill.
Last year, deeply unpopular President Ruto, his government’s viewed as immensely corrupt, wanted to borrow more money from the IMF but was very vague about future repayment details. Gen Z was not having it and went flag-waving on the streets of Nairobi and around the country. Demos were largely peaceful, but hired goons and criminal gangs caused trouble. Police response was heavy-handed and brutal. Young people died by gunshots to their heads and some were kidnapped, never to be seen or heard from again.
On one occasion, I happened to be in Nairobi’s central business district where their weekly demos took place. Realizing that it was dead quiet because of the planned demos, I was on my way out of the district when some youth ran past me with Kenyan flags draped over their backs. Before I knew, a riot policeman pulled his trigger and a tear gas cannister flew into our direction, ricocheting a couple of times. Tear gas everywhere. I learned my lesson and I’d make sure I knew which day of the week it was before I head to town again. I also took note of a large group of goons (mostly older, angry-looking men) bearing clubs and purple vests, standing idle and awaiting instructions from their political master.
Weeks of demos passed before Ruto (no relation to Rutte) caved in and promised changes to his government. The demos stopped. Now, one year later Gen Z has noticed that little has changed, and that only some cabinet members were shuffled around. Hence, this turn of event:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBCUDMpIeuk
It’s deja vu. Whilst Kenya is not on the frontline of this world war, the empire is eager to keep it impoverished and subservient. Whilst I haven’t seen it myself, my wife drove past it and said the US embassy in Nairobi was enormous. Why? Because it serves as the imperial headquarters of course. Here’s a blurb about the US investing millions in strengthening Kenya democracy and civil society:
We know what that really means of course…
We’re back in Kampala and I’m catching up on local news. Museveni’s running for re-election next year. Almost four decades in power and it’s still not enough for this go-getter. “Five more years please!”, “Of what though?”, “Well, poverty and undignified living of course!”.
What’s strange is that there is genuine support for this guy who has been in power before most Ugandans were even born. He brought peace after the last war, some say. Yeah, but he started the last war because he didn’t like the outcome of an election (spoiler: he lost).
There is also support he buys. Apparently it costs only 5,000 Ugandan shillings (about US$1.40) to buy a vote. Or a big sack of beans for the whole family. People deserve the leaders they get… I saw a group of young motorcyclists driving around, playing loud music and waving yellow flags (the color of Museveni’s political party). I couldn’t help but notice that they were led by men wearing completely black outfits, with black ski masks and sun glasses covering their entire faces. This isn’t the kind of political campaigning I’m used to, growing up in the West. This is a campaign of intimidation.
Speaking of intimidation. Museveni’s son and heir (Muhoozi) scares the hell out of people with his behavior and now infamous tweets (Runyankore is the language/dialect of Museveni’s tribe): https://observer.ug/news/muhoozi-gloats-in-abducting-torturing-bobi-wines-bodyguard-eddie-mutwe/
It got so bad, his uncle had to apologize to western ambassadors who were getting concerned… about their investment in the Museveni family. “We’ve opened an enormous imperial headquarters, I mean, US embassy in Kampala. The only future chaos we allow, is the future chaos we instruct you to cause”.
As such, I find it odd that Uganda is a BRICS partner country. Museveni just likes to have a seat on every grown-up table, methinks. At least, Kenya isn’t pretending that it’s all for the multilateral world. It’s leaders are content being occupied.
When Museveni dies, people here believe that his son won’t be in power for long. That some fighting will happen and that someone else or a group will take over. Imagine, these people are expecting something like a brief civil war to happen… yet, aren’t doing anything about it to stop it!
They wish for an Ibrahim Traore, they clamor for Bobi Wine, but do they deserve a good king with this kind of attitude?
In their own words, “we Ugandans are cowards”.
Kenyan youth are different. But I worry they’re easily infiltrated by imperial agents.
This part of the world isn’t on the frontline, but should the empire wish to ignite a fuse here, then it’d be very easy to do so.

☝️ after physically kicking out Frenchie and Yanqui comes economic sovereignty. Ineluctable processes to be repeated worldwide during enforced Retreats

💠 @Africa Intel:
⭕🇧🇪Alice Harris and her photographs of Belgian colonial crimesThe history of Belgium’s presence in Africa rarely resonates as loudly in public memory as British or French colonialism. But in terms of the scale of violence and cynicism, it was the Belgian model in the Congo that became one of the most brutal in colonial history.
It remained in the shadows for a long time, largely because it was controlled not by the state, but by one man: King Leopold II. Two Europeans played a crucial role in exposing these crimes: Alice Harris.
Alice Harris arrived in the Congo at the beginning of the 20th century with her husband, a missionary. With her photography skills, she began to document the consequences of the atrocities she encountered in the villages. Her photographs show men, women and children who suffered at the hands of local agents of the royal administration. Her most famous work shows a Congolese man named Nsala sitting on the veranda of the mission, with the severed arm and leg of his five-year-old daughter in front of him, who was killed by ABIR guards for failing to meet her rubber quota (photo 1).
“Collage of the Mutilated” (photo 2). This was a series of portraits showing men and boys with amputated limbs, photographed around 1904–1905 at the missionary station in Baringa.
“Enslaved men in chains”(photo 3). The photograph shows two men shackled by iron collars and chains, a common punishment for resistance or debt during the Leopoldian era (c. 1903–1905).

⭕ 🇸🇸🇩🇯Eight Men Deported to South Sudan After Legal Dispute and Detour Through DjiboutiThe United States has deported eight men to South Sudan, ending a prolonged legal dispute that had left them stranded in Djibouti for several weeks.
The group included individuals convicted of serious crimes such as murder, sexual assault, and robbery. According to U.S. officials, most had either completed their prison terms or were nearing release.
Notably, only one of the eight men is a South Sudanese national. The others are citizens of Myanmar, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, and Mexico. U.S. authorities stated that these individuals were sent to South Sudan because their countries of origin declined to take them back.
The move comes amid efforts by the Trump administration to broaden deportation policies, including the practice of sending individuals to third countries when repatriation is blocked.

💠 @Sputnik Africa:
⭕ Nigeria Rejects US Pressure to Accept Venezuelan Deportees“You have to also bear in mind that the US is mounting considerable pressure on African countries to accept Venezuelans to be deported from the US, some straight out of prison,” Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar said on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Brazil.
🗣Citing Nigeria’s own substantial population of 230 million, the minister added, “It will be difficult for a country like Nigeria to accept Venezuelan prisoners into Nigeria. We have enough problems of our own.”
This follows a recent White House meeting where Trump’s administration reportedly asked five visiting African leaders – from Liberia, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, and Gabon – to take in migrants deported from the US who are not their own nationals.
An internal State Department document reportedly outlined this request for the “dignified, safe, and timely transfer” of these third-country nationals.
❗️Trump has been pushing to accelerate deportations, even by rerouting migrants to third countries when repatriation to their home nations faces obstacles.

⭕ 🇱🇾🇺🇸 US Airline Carries Out Regular Patrols in Libyan AirspaceAccording to Africa Intelligence, US Army airline Berry Aviation has been actively carrying out regular reconnaissance and transport flights between Misrata and Benghazi in recent weeks.
The company is based in Texas and provides services to various US federal agencies, including the Special Operations Command and the Department of Defense. The company uses Dash 8-200 aircraft for flights over Libya, which depart from the company’s bases in Kenya, Abidjan [Ivory Coast], as well as Benin and Ghana.
☝️ I’ve marked in the following map the hottest zones and official Forward Operating Bases (FOBs):- GREEN-BLUE: main targets of western aggression at the moment (hottest circled)
- PINK-RED: the four FOBs who openly host spy planes above and likely drones (doesn’t include occult ones such as Nigeria, Chad, etc)
- ORANGE: the five sellouts who stood behind Orange, as well as open compradore states Morocco and Rwanda, and the international base-city-state of Djibouti
Western Sahara is occupied by Morocco, thus most of the western coast of Africa provides FOBs to attack the richer interior..
These coastal states have traditionally been least plagued with war and abject poverty, permitted a decent QOL to keep them quiet, whilst the interior was bled white and rarely entered modernity.
Much of the coming fight will be to remove pirate footprints on these coastal criminal regimes permitting the neocolonial paradigm on all to persist. This is where the revolution of military affairs shall prove salutary – esp precision missiles and drones, and the higher MIC capacity of the interior backed by the civilizational-states to end Vampire Balls and essentially free resource extraction.

KeymasterI believe so. In Lineaments 01 I noted the painful consequences of Geography for Africa – even before the European colonization.
What the West has done is maintain this essential lack of intra-African and external connectivity of Africa to the wider world – thus entrenching underdevelopment and lack of progress/modernity.
To this day, most Africans have extremely limited infrastructure (roads/rail) – the few which mostly run from the mines/plantations/factories to the nearest sea port … not within the continent or trade with each other. So Burkina Faso would ship out tomatoes to France and receive tomato paste back at exorbitant price (!!) and so on. Clearly disadvantageous, low-value-added resource management, maintained by neocolonial compradore elites.
“geography formed the dominant and long continuing challenge inherent in connectivity with Africa. Further than Western neo-colonialism, “the geographic barriers to economic and cultural exchanges within and without sub-Saharan Africa have been formidable,” hindering development and promoting provincialism, fragmentation, and insularity. Thus building infrastructure and connections in challenging terrain, as well as detachment from a western grasp focused on resource-extraction and willful underdevelopment, provide the key mechanisms of helping Africa to develop. “
https://web.archive.org/web/20220827201357/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zghnq_4u6MI
So squatting on the interior of Africa (now switched to implanting forever wars and permanent Chaos), what Conrad aptly termed their “Heart of Darkness” (more an expression of their way of life) is not merely about raping and plundering the richest areas – it is about prevention of building of roads/rail and connections traversing Africa, and thus an internal economy and self-sufficiency within the entire continent. Another way to maintain colonial borders, and thus keep neighbors permanently divided, for easier external exploitation. They want to remain permanent middlemen, have free lunches, and keep all permanently poor and miserable…
both my father and CAF long ago used similar phrases – he was talking of the Swiss and she of Banksters/West in general – that “misery is a business model.” Or what Putin termed the Vampire Ball. And if the West were permitted, and had a chance of winning this world war being waged to defang and declaw them and permanently roll them back, they would maintain these satanic unequal and criminal relations with all other civilizations until Kingdom Come.

KeymasterYup, and each time there was a glimmer of light, the IMF moved in and changed the trade, by different ways, enforcement, or buying out the leaders for perpetual neo-colonialism. That wonderful little strip of country, Malawi, just to the right of Zambia and the top of Mozambique, was one of my ‘development countries’ that I studied. Right on the glorious Lake Malawi, which was a food forest and wonderful growing areas – a literal food basket. And not too far from Mozambican harbor for export, even if just to the rest of Africa, if we could develop the products. Namibia is mainly desert – mainly sheep and the Karacul sheep. Botswana is half desert. Botswana at the time was developing just fine – Tourism mainly and also cattle and had still big animals. And then, in the little Malawi, the IMF moved in – told the local population their leader (Hastings Banda) was a dictator (which he was, but benevolent – like an African father for his people). But he still believed the Brits, unfortunately. And soon after, there was ‘democratic elections’, the locals started fighting all these new ideas, instead of the coherence that our benevolent dictator maintained and the bread basket was hungry and the debt was growing.
To my mind it is only the Sahel that is breaking free in a sane manner. Most of the rest of Africa still has strong neo-colonial habits. The populations,reading the various media, are more involved in a blame game about colonialism than a game of proper development. And now in Mozambique, the ISIS types have moved in big time.
There is much criticism for China with their investment in Africa, but they’ve learned .. they have to keep hands-on until an industry is fully inculcated. They give loan forgiveness now and again, but they are like our benevolent dictator. Of course in Mozambique the Chinese had hold of the one port, a new airport, roads up to the lake or at least one usuable road, and good development and then, ISIS for you buddies! If one plumbs this ISIS business, you see the hands of Takfiris from the Gulf States.
The African wars are not simple at the moment. Colonialism in a sense was almost benign compared to the strategies and tactics today.

ParticipantIt is a business model. And it sure keeps people’s spirits down too. Ugandans are far more miserable in outlook and demeanor than Kenyans. It’s painful and sad to hear some Ugandans (very few, but still) genuinely wishing for the Brits to return and fix their potholes and, well, everything else wrong here.
On the other hand, I hear that Uganda is so fertile it could feed the whole of Africa (!). Hyperbolic or not, it shows there’s, fortunately, a confidence in their land and themselves. They’re just waiting for that good king or African father to come.
Btw, Ugandan soil is considered to be so fertile that the zionazis dug some of it up during Operation Entebbe in 1976 and transported it to Israel post-haste.
I agree that colonialism at least was honest with its brutality, naked aggression, and psychological warfare. Neocolonialism is very underhanded.

KeymasterMy dearest emersoonreturn,
I do not know what you want me to say, but I’ve said some things. The problem is that most of Africa is still so entangled in neo-colonialism, and it is not ‘the other guys fault’.
This starts with a liberation movement that does not end up well – they are there to liberate but not to govern effectively. YEAH! and then the excuses start.
The white party … How dumb is Jamarl? How many times has he been there? Has he ever looked at the DA? It is an integrated management team and a multi-cultural party. I guess in this sphere, he is skating on thin ice by applying his Western values. He does not know what he is talking about. The DA is the 2nd largest party without which the ANC cannot survive. If the DA walks, the ANC has no mandate to govern. The DA is a relative white party as they are from the Cape Province and there are relatively more whites, coloreds and indians. Rainbow nation duh!
The white genocide … If he used his head, and looked at the numbers, the killings of farmers are critical. The crime rate is sky high, and if you roll it into the crime rate, it looks like nothing which shows how pathetic the crime rate is. But if you start comparing.. farmer killings (and it is now all colors but there are relatively fewer black farmers) as a percentage of for example, killings of any other grouping, it is way beyond – compare that rate of killings of farmers with say … uhm, killings of policeman, the farmers are way ahead. Farmers in South Africa are being killed at a higher rate than a small war. Trump called ‘white genocide’, nobody else. Nowadays the farmers are solidly connected with radios and can call for help very quickly. The local social groups are intent on security.
I just replayed the New African Covenant, from Traoré, before I saw your video here…
Mandela was a stop gap president? What shortsightedness. He (and his alter ego) set a tone, they set a value .. and that was the value of a Rainbow Nation (many tribes or ethic groups) .. not a bunch of liberators that steal and refuse to govern. Always remember that the ANC inherited a functioning and thriving country, and now ALL state organizations are bankrupt – the airlines, the railways, the post office, the power generators… everything – all state governed service operators. The ANC screwed it up totally. Not even the IMF or World Bank will give them loans any longer, and I’ve said before that BRICS won’t give them a sou, because they don’t develop; they steal it. And that has not changed.
Mandela was in negotiations from the late 1980’s with the so called freedom election or democracy in 1994. He was neither isolated nor ignored and had his team with him even in the jail. How bitter, to blame Mandela. How little does one have left over if you have to blame Madiba, the clan name of The Father of the Nation?.
The ANC missed the opportunity, and they were advised by ‘whites’ on black empowerment to make structural changes. Now, the whites are to blame again. That is a dead ANC give-away – blame the other one, best if it is a white.
Now, after 30 years, they want to do something? They’ve failed. How many do-overs do they want?
People have rights, they can speak – he says. But they cannot live. They cannot eat. And they want to smash the state? That means smashing themselves, the ANC and I concur heartily. The state that made it so that they cannot eat? The story about wearing military uniforms – that is just nonsense. Traoré is at war .. it is a military administration – the western forces have put a mess of ISIS types on the Sahel States. Traoré has been there for just a few years, and he has thrown France out. South Africa still are in cahoots with the ‘white’ bosses – they call it minority capital, but if that leaves, nobody will eat. Because it is relatively simple, they could not establish a government or an economic system that works. They intend to make the Bolshevik mistakes.
The race laws do not support the poor masses. They encourage those that do not work, do not learn and do not do anything … because they can shout race laws. See how clever – those that cannot get the neo-colonialists out because they are in full cahoots, by saying it is not a fundamental change. Uhm .. that kind of criticism just pissed me off. Psychology of subordination? Take a look at Traoré, he is not throwing out French that work with him .. he is throwing out those that are taking the Burkina Faso’s wealth in mining or in any other productive endeavour and in the main, he is economically supporting it locally – So what is this guy jealous about? He is still decolonizing his mind? Sure sure .. Let’s keep a colonized mind so we have an excuse.
The interviewee is also not South African, although he lectures there. He is almost certainly from Northern climes, judging by his last name. That name does not exist but it exists further North.
You’re listening to a skilled ANC operative who would not be able to run a spaza shop if it were given to him. He is there to encourage DEI at university level. (Spaza shop, little local grocery, like very local grocery and daily milk and bread store – all universities in the country are now DEI shops.).
Jamarl? Well, what shall I say? The man is deceived, and perhaps he wants to be deceived. Maybe he has to get on a plane and visit – and purchase from the little Spaza shops and hear what the real folks on the ground are saying these days.
They cannot even agree on a budget. This is the latest from President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Even as the world faces difficult economic headwinds, our economic reform agenda will create the conditions for higher growth and investment, while renewing our infrastructure for generations to come. (Now he has said that for the past 8 years!)
Economic reform agenda? He has said that for eight years! Here is just one response. There were thousands, and all of them said .. Get Out! You are an incompetent fool who robs the country and helps your buddies to rob it more. And the people stay hungry.
Hay Cyril I truly thought you were different from the rest but this Mkhwanazi situation has exposed you completely. You’ve shown that you’d rather protect the ANC’s image & its corrupt comrades than stand up for the people of this country.
Time & time again, you turn a blind eye to the very things that are destroying South Africa, collapsing institutions, lawlessness, illegal immigration & public sector looting all to protect a party not a nation. While you polish the ANC’s legacy, millions of South Africans are sinking deeper into poverty, unemployment & hopelessness. You are a disgrace to the legacy of black South Africans & those who fought & died for democracy. OMandela noHani didn’t sacrifice everything just so future generations would still be trapped in poverty, living with empty promises & staged unity. If this is what “freedom” looks like, then their fight was in vain because the black majority is still suffering, not thriving. History will remember this betrayal.
Mkhwanzini was a fine, high-level police commissioner who uncovered graft from the political class. Ramaphosa gave that political class nice vacations, while they were under investigation. So far, not a word as far as I know. This has happened repeatedly. I guess they need a real revolution to throw their lazy asses out and put the people who can govern a country to work. The danger is that this revolution is coming from the two small parties that are worse than the ANC. The one party led by the former president is quite something – he built himself a large village, utilizing state resources and labor, and lives there comfortably with his entourage of wives, numerous swimming pools, and fleets of luxury cars.
Finally, Trump made a deal .. stop the race laws, stop the landgrabs without compensation and Trump the High Lord will be kind with tariffs. They did not and now the tariffs are about 40% all told. I see hungry people.
OK; you have my comments. It is a pity, because I love Africa.

KeymasterFemi Akomolafe is the only one that I know that writes on these things … in English. He has a burning article out now, but local stuff and probably difficult to get.
There was one piece that struck me:
“You cannot claim to be oppressed and yet carry yourself as the conqueror of every land you set foot upon.” You cannot cry marginalization in one breath and, in the next, impose your royal titles, tribal colors, and brash behavior in a land that is not yours.
Have we learned nothing from history?
Let us revisit the ugly chapters we often pretend never happened— no apology to those who may call it washing dirty linen in public. We are not in the image laundry business as polemicists. We are in the naked truth business. There is no integrity in calling out and cussing imperialism and racism while we romanticize our shortcomings in Africa.”
He is not behind a pay wall, so you can read here: https://femiakogun.substack.com/p/igbo-kingdom-of-commotion
He says: I am an unapologetic Pan-Africanist who is unconditionally opposed to any form or manifestation of racism, fascism, and discrimination. There are not many of those around that say these things. It is quite a joke .. if he has a piece that we can use, I always tell him “The whites are raiding again! May I use this or that piece?” and we laugh … because we both know and we both are irked!
Sputnik has an Africa X channel, but both Sputnik and RT only write about those who are Russia-oriented, and because of that, they sometimes publish absolute rubbish and interview the dregs, as long as they say they love Russia. This channel sometimes has some good info: https://t.me/africaintel
I did see an article today that describes how the media sphere is changing to independent media – first because of cost-cutting and secondly because people have had enough of the bad media.

KeymasterHi emersonreturn, RT has a reasonable article mainly about Nelson Mandela. In it, you will see how much of the original video is just wrong and I get so mad if they slander Mandela. You will see from his quotes in the article that he wanted the country to bury the hatchet. https://www.rt.com/africa/621448-nelson-mandela-lifelong-struggle/
You will also notice that Mandela eventually started negotiations after rejecting them a number of times, but not under the the ANC. So, you may understand why I get so angry with the current bunch, because they have sold out every principle that Mandela set out – every sense of true reconciliation that there ever was.
The white community was with Mandela. Anyway, much better article than the usual. There are a few detail problems. Each time it is described that some action was ‘peaceful’, it was very violent, from all sides.
That beautiful and productive country these ANC dicks and criminals broke apart. I wonder if people even have any idea what a successful reconciliation in South Africa could have meant for the rest of Africa. It could have been the Burkina Faso of the times.
Mandela: “South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white”
“I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed. A man who takes away another man’s freedom is a prisoner of hatred… The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity,”He understood the path of freedom very deeply.
“I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities.
“It is not true that the enfranchisement of all will result in racial domination. Political division, based on color, is entirely artificial and, when it disappears, so will the domination of one color group by another.
Now check this: “The ANC has spent half a century fighting against racialism. When it triumphs, it will not change that policy.”
And lo and behold, Mandela was hardly cold in his grave and they changed that policy.

KeymasterGet France out of Africa? (New wordsound for disgust, that I learned from Marwa Osman: Tfeh. Make it like spitting!)
French Company Canal+ Acquires Pan-African Broadcaster MultiChoice
South Africa’s antitrust regulator has conditionally approved the acquisition of pan-African media group MultiChoice by French television company Canal+ for $2 billion.
The deal paves the way for the creation of Africa’s largest pay-TV and streaming business. Canal+ has been gradually purchasing MultiChoice shares since the deal was announced last year and will now buy out the remaining stakes from shareholders. The transaction is expected to close by October 8.
So, an African broadcaster has just been sold to a French broadcaster. This is how neo-colonialsm is supported – for money. How hard is Russia and China working to build a broadcasting network that is not western.
My dad had a word that he used for disgust .. Njef. I’m using both lol. There is the saying that they use in the UNSC and in African high level meetings: African solutions for African problems. It is only the Sahel States and Ebrahim Traoré that is living the truth. It is not good. Most of the rest are still in it for the money.

KeymasterNews Burkina Faso. I found something-
There is a lot of media (French crap) with all the media organizations complaining that Burkina Faso banned a lot of media. All of the Reporters without borders and so on are just complaining. But I also see that Burkina Faso is trying to throw out videos of fighting. What is true, I do not know. We do need to remember that they are at war with the headchoppers. The whole bunch that I looked at today does not feel healthy.
But here is one thing. I think this X channel is Ebrahim Traorés real X Channel. It is not blue checkmarked but the few that I translated – well the language is right. https://x.com/capitaineib226?lang=en
So, I would say we could look at that. Withouth the blue checkmark, it is tedious as one has to copy to a translator and copy back in if you want to use it because there is no translation on the French tweets. (I don’t touch Grok). But look at this: Sounds right eh?

Captain Ibrahim TRAORÉ @CapitaineIb226 · 12h On August 5, 1960, 65 years ago, our country’s independence was proclaimed.
On this commemorative day, I invite every Burkinabe to become more aware of the richness of our history, the diversity of our cultural expressions, the strength of our unity, and our ability to be the sole masters of our destiny and the destiny of our country.
I pay a vibrant tribute to our elders who courageously fought, often at the cost of the supreme sacrifice, for the true independence and emancipation of our country.
Their sacrifice and determination still inspire us today in our commitment to a free and dignified Burkina Faso. We must look to the future with ambition, confidence, and determination.
We must continue to build a prosperous, just, and united country that will guarantee the full development of every citizen. I am confident that through our hard work, our sense of duty, and our shared desire to succeed, we will be able to overcome the challenges ahead and build a better future for future generations.
Happy Independence Day! HOMELAND OR DEATH, WE SHALL WIN.

Russia Libya⭕ 🇱🇾🇷🇺🇺🇸 AFRICOM continues to be concerned about the increasing Russian presence in AfricaThe “Africa Defense Forum” magazine of the U.S. Africa Command “AFRICOM” recently once again “expressed concern” about the expansion of Russian military and economic presence in Africa, particularly in Libya.
The “concerns” are, as always, vague and lack any specifics.

Experts especially note the successful counter-terrorism operations in the Sahel countries in cooperation with local armed forces.

- July 17: A major training and supply base was destroyed in Niono (Segou region), with 30 terrorists neutralized.

⭕ 🇲🇱Malian Army Neutralizes Senior Daesh Leader in ChimamOn Monday, July 21, 2025, the Malian Armed Forces (FAMa) successfully carried out a precision operation targeting a senior figure of the terrorist group Daesh in the locality of Chimam, about 45 km from Ménaka.
The mission, based on accurate intelligence, targeted Souleymane Ag Bakawa, known by the alias “Soldat”, a deserter turned active Daesh commander. He was implicated in a series of violent incidents, including the murder of two police officers and MSA fighters in Ménaka, the execution of civilians including community leaders, and the recent abduction of Sidi Barka, head of Ménaka’s civil society.
Caught by surprise at dawn in his camp, “Soldat” attempted to resist with the help of Daesh reinforcements. However, the swift and decisive response of the FAMa successfully neutralized him.
This operation once again highlights the growing capabilities of the Malian army and its firm commitment to combating terrorism and ensuring the security and stability of the nation.
⭕ Fun Fact: In less than 5 years, the Malian army has eliminated more terrorist leaders than MINUSMA and the French army did in 10 years…
⭕🇩🇿Algeria Replaces Morocco as Chair of AU Peace and Security CouncilIn August, Algeria assumed the rotating chairmanship of the African Union’s Peace and Security Council (PSC). Elected for a three-year term during an extraordinary AU Executive Council session in Ethiopia, Algeria secured 34 votes from member states — defeating Libya, which received only 15. This marks a turnaround from February 2025, when Morocco narrowly blocked Algeria’s bid by a single vote.
The PSC includes 15 members. Alongside Algeria, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Eswatini were also elected for three-year terms; the rest serve two years.
Algeria plans to focus on critical security issues in Sudan, South Sudan, and engage with African members of the UN Security Council. The country previously held a seat from 2008 to 2021, contributing to the creation of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA), including the CEWS and ASF systems, and was active in peace efforts in Mali, Libya, and Somalia.
Observers expect Algeria to use its leadership to advance positions on Western Sahara and Mali.
⭕🇲🇱🇨🇳New Armor for Mali: China Delivers Heavy EquipmentPhotos have surfaced online showing the unloading of 36 Chinese Norinco CS/VP14 MRAP armored vehicles, reportedly in a West African port — likely Guinea.
This shipment marks the beginning of a larger contract: Mali has ordered a total of 160 units to reinforce its army in the fight against terrorism. The current batch is expected to be transported overland to Mali in the coming days.
What makes this delivery significant is battlefield experience. Russian fighters who took part in counter-terrorism operations in Mali praised the vehicles, noting that during IED attacks, the MRAPs provided solid protection — some injuries occurred, but no fatalities.
In high-risk environments, that level of protection can mean the difference between life and death. The arrival of these armored vehicles signals a clear intention: Mali is rearming with proven, practical equipment — and preparing for the next phase of its internal security mission.

- Knowingly benefitting from supply chains involving forced labor;
- Violating the US Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act.

After the French were driven out of the Sahel countries, they became in urgent need of permanent deployment locations in the region, and Ghadames is quite suitable for these purposes, as it is located near Algeria and Niger, from where they will be able to conduct their destructive activities and support terrorist groups in the Sahel.

KeymasterMore than India and Latin America, the two greatest sources of loot, plunder and essentially free and limitless rent extraction that built the West and the Anglo-American imperium into Jungle Borrell’s “The Garden” have been the stupendous resources of Africa and the Persian Gulf energy. This world war is being fought mainly to retain these — focusing on attriting the civilizational-states through direct kinetic attack and the methodical piecemeal and wholesale-erasing of the Arabs squatting on MENA, the most strategic real estate on Earth, at the Levantine junction of the World-Island (the land bridge between Afro-Asia).
Here’s more good news from Africa.
One cannot take on the entire planet, and Cosmos, and not lose focus and energy in many directions. “Jack of all trades, Master of none”. It also informs their ever escalating rage and madness, realizing how they’re being in turn methodically defeated everywhere. And that even if they were to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat from the civilizational-states, the genie is outta the bottle in Africa, requiring another century of bitter ground slog and exterminating to retake a former fiefdom.

The Nigerien state is taking control of this strategic sector, continuing the trend of nationalizing uranium mines, which began in 2024. This decision reflects the intention to return full control of the country’s resources to the people of Niger.
In 2023, the Samira Hill mine (managed by SML SA) produced only 180 kg of gold, far below expected levels. Meanwhile, artisanal cooperatives in Niger continue to produce around 2 tons of gold annually.

⭕ 🎙 Statement by Chargé d’Affaires a.i. Dmitry Polyanskiy at a UNSC Briefing on Threats to International Peace and Security caused by ISIL (New York, August 20, 2025)💬 Dmitry Polyanskiy: We agree with the assessment contained therein that the danger posed by this international terrorist organization is not getting lower. The group is adapting to new conditions, including by changing the geography of its activities. It is increasingly pivoting to Africa.
⚠️ The events of recent decades clearly show who has paved the way for terrorists coming to Africa. The destruction of state institutions in Libya and Iraq as a result of NATO interventions created a long-term power and security vacuum, which militants have taken advantage of.
Today, in pursuit of their geopolitical interests, the former colonial powers continue to support illegal armed groups on the African continent and exploit local tensions and socio-economic problems.
***
We firmly condemn the use of terrorism by certain Western countries as a tool of their neocolonial policies.
African States have repeatedly emphasized that instead of the pledged support, they have actually received subversive activities. This fact clearly explains why long-standing so-called counterterrorism operations were hardly effective.
❗️ A rallying cry of fighting terrorism served merely as a pretext for continued foreign military presence, which runs counter to the interests of the affected states.
***
There are concrete facts that clearly demonstrate that the Ukrainian special services, including the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, have been involved in subversive activities in the Sahel countries and other regions of Africa.
They are supplying militants with weapons and drones, training them how to use this weaponry, coordinating the actions of terrorists, including JNIM in Mali, and deploying trained mercenaries to act against local governments.
👉 All of the above requires a thorough international investigation involving the relevant UN mechanisms.
***
Russia has consistently advocated for an honest, depoliticized, and results-oriented fight against terrorism without any “hidden agendas.”
We are open to cooperation with UN member states and UN structures on the basis of the principles of the UN Charter, above all sovereign equality of States and non-interference in internal affairs.
☝️ Only international cooperation based on mutual respect and dialogue will help achieve a lasting decrease in the terrorist threat and strengthen international security.

⭕ Burkina Faso Targets 6,000 Tonnes of Wheat by 2025–2026, Dependent on Fertilizer Supply, Official Says🌱Despite global disruptions caused by sanctions on Russian fertilizers, Burkina Faso has moved proactively to secure supplies, Malick Niang, board member of the West African Fertilizer Association, noted.
“We are seeing much larger flows through the ports, whether in Abidjan or Lomé. There is an increase in the use of agricultural inputs,” he told Sputnik Africa.
🔸Rising crop yields could help the country cut its reliance on imports, according to the speaker.
“It is important for landlocked countries like Burkina Faso to secure a minimum level of local production—maybe 50% to 60% of local cereal consumption,” the official explained.
💠 @🌎🛡GEOPOL360🕊🌍:
⭕ Burkina Faso and Mali are boycotting the African Summit of Chiefs of Defense Staff organized by Nigeria in Abuja, highlighting tensions with West African neighbors.Niger, the only AES state present, was represented by its defense attaché, Colonel-Major Soumana Kalkoye.
[and Niger, at lesser level, was likely represented out of respect for close neighbor and kin Nigeria, since ~ half of the huge Hausa tribe live in Niger, and much of the other half in Nigeria, due to more dastardly british borders. In fact, the wisdom of this tribe helped defuse western plans for Nigerian-led invasion of ECOWAS into Niger in the summer of 2023; much of the armed forces and leadership and staging grounds for invasion into Niger involved Hausa and their northern provinces. So respect must be kept with such intertwined kin, even living in compradore Nigeria]

KeymasterI don’t know. I don’t know whether I should say this, or not. It has been a few months.
I love Africa, but I am not a resident or a citizen of any place any longer. I cry, then I laugh, then I think of a few years ago when my husband marched up to me and said, “I’m going to burn my passport!” He was American and I, really shocked said .. “WWwww a i t, You mean Immediately Now? Well, let’s just talk for a moment. No Dammit – that is part of you! You are not part it, and keep your darn passport as we will need it soon! Or at least, get another one first. I’m not used to you not being absolutely practical. Let’s go buy a flag and barbecue it!” At which stage he said … On my barbecue? Never!
The reason is simple. I cannot live with what the current African governments are doing and have done for 30 years since Mandela died, or since Thomas Sankara or since any of the African Greats. And I cannot live with what is supposed to be ‘my people’. They are entirely Western-influenced and mostly zionist to boot, even if they don’t recognize that.
So, I cry, and then I laugh and then I repeat all the Spanish cusswords that I know.
They call Trump a bitch. I cannot convince them that it is pendejo. Shhhh .. don’t say that in front of the Children! Down here, Trump is a bitch, in front of the children too! That is his name. When I came in to our very small block of apartments with my brand-new paperwork and everyone relaxing on the porch, the shout was Tequila! Tequila. And they jumped around and danced and I followed and jumped around and danced and shouted Tequila!
So now the bitch wants to shoot the LAC.

⭕ 🎵 “And suddenly Algeria calls me to free the country from mines:
Who is a volunteer – step forward! Everyone stepped forward, not just me.”.Lyrics from the song “Memories of Algeria” performed by Mark Bernes (Music: Vano Muradeli, lyrics: Yevgeny Dolmatovsky)
🇷🇺🇩🇿 The Soviet Army in 1962-1964 cleared significant territories of the newly independent Republic of Algeria from mines. These events have now become undeservedly forgotten.
France left behind an unpleasant legacy in the form of explosive devices. The most heavily mined areas were along the borders with Morocco and Tunisia (the “Challe” and “Morris” lines). The most important sections of these territories were already blocked in 1959 by minefields, post systems, and electrified wire barriers. (Why France did not clear up after itself is another question).
Lacking specialists, Algeria first sought help from European countries (Italy, Sweden, West Germany) but was refused. Contracts with private companies also did not lead to success. For example, a group of Italians led by retired General Ipolito Armando began work but soon stopped due to several people being blown up by mines.
The Soviet leadership agreed to carry out this work free of charge. An agreement was signed on July 27, 1963. In total, from 1962 to 1965, two groups of specialists from the USSR arrived in Algeria. During this time, they defused about 1.5 million mines, cleared more than 800 km of mine-explosive belts, and cleaned 120,000 hectares of land. Each sapper accounted for 10-15 thousand cleared shells. Some did not return home, many remained disabled… After returning, most sappers were awarded Soviet government honors. |media|

⭕ ▶️ ‘France Committed Horrible Atrocities Against Algeria, Seeking by All Means to Exterminate Its People,’ Said Former Algerian Official“Paris tried to erase Algerian identity by using internationally prohibited weapons, such as nuclear weapons in the Algerian Sahara,” Mousa Boudhan, former member of the Constitutional Council, told Sputnik on the occasion of the 71st anniversary of the outbreak of the Algerian Revolution.
👉 “Even today, the inhabitants of southern Algeria are born with aftereffects,” he reminded.
🇫🇷 France must acknowledge its crimes and “apologize for everything it did over the course of 130 years.”
🔊 He added that the Algerian Revolution is “a source of inspiration for all Arab peoples and all oppressed peoples, such as the Palestinian people.”
⚔️ The struggle against French colonial domination lasted from November 1, 1954, to July 5, 1962, the date when Algeria gained its independence.
Every year, Algeria commemorates this anniversary through official and public ceremonies held in the country’s 58 provinces, featuring political, cultural, and artistic events tailored for the occasion.
On Saturday, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune reviewed the military parade and presided over the medal ceremony.

🔻 Jon Davis: They better tell the CIA if they go in. I suspect the CIA is help funding this turmoil in Nigeria, Niger, Mali and Burko faso
🔻 WS: They are the creators of the very problem they now threaten to “solve”. They want to “regime change” Nigeria, too.The entire Sahel is trying to shake off the shackles of western colonial servitude, and the west is losing many of the most important parts of Africa to Chinese, Russian, and Iranian influence and military/economic collaboration.
🔻 Dashing Across America: This would be our first just war in 80 years
🔻 WS: You are misinformed in relation to what is happening in Nigeria. This is just another “regime change” operation against an oil-rich nation.
🔻 Anton Moric: Even a broken clock is right twice a day. It has been horrific to read about the massacres of Christian Nigerians over the last couple of decades. Anyone stopping that horror is in the right. Just like anyone stopping the genocide of Palestinians. This, specifically, I support.
🔻 WS: They don’t care at all about Christians being killed anywhere in the world, least of all in Nigeria, where the CIA foments social division, just as they do elsewhere in Africa.All they care about is controlling Nigerian oil production and exports.
🔻 Finis_Loquitur: Hegseth didn’t give a shit about the Israelis killing Christians in Lebanon. No oil there though …
🔻 NotABot: The next big show… Distracting from withdrawing from Venezuela after Russia and China made clear they would not tolerate it. so they look for the next which they could afford a war.
🔻 Brenda Factor: Nigerians just discovered huge gold deposits. Greed has no bounds.
🔻 Mark Blumler: No Will, they’ve been listening to you: can’t defeat iran, oh. no, nor Venezuela. OK, so how about Nigeria
🔻 Farhan: Somehow they managed to overlook the plight of the oldest Christians on earth, the ones in Palestine. They let their churches and houses be burned and razed to the ground. Suddenly, the Christians in Nigeria are “cherished”. Their very thinking is rotten to the core.
🔻 Ephemeral: Crusaders
🔻 Robyn T: yep, getting more like Israel every day.
🔻 LisaPizza: It’s The Beast.Babylon.
Baby London.
🔻 Ẹfúnróyè of South West: Nigeria is poised to become the home of the world’s largest petroleum refinery. That alone is enough for the West to crumble the Nation.

KeymasterThere is media that President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria is going to have a meeting with Trump. Please bear in mind that Tinubu was the Chair of ECOWAS, who was (and still is) in stark opposition to the Sahel States. He is a US puppet hiding neo-colonialism.
This is the deal but partially:
Nigeria’s Dangote Eyes Expansion to Rival the World’s Largest Refinery
🇳🇬🛢 The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced plans to nearly double its capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day, positioning it to become the largest refinery in the world, surpassing India’s Jamnagar Refinery.
Aliko Dangote, president of Dangote Group, revealed the expansion in Lagos, stating it will significantly increase production of polypropylene and other key petrochemicals.
“[Supportive government] policies are driving a revolution in Nigeria’s downstream sector, promoting domestic refining and export of finished petroleum products,” Dangote said.
👉 The project is expected to save Nigeria billions in foreign exchange, create 65,000 construction jobs, and strengthen national energy security, according to Dangote.
The expanded facility will also meet stringent Euro VI environmental standards and maintain a workforce that is over 85% Nigerian, he added.
…
Dangote is the wealthiest family in Africa, and they will play with the highest bidder. I’m afraid this is a sneaky attack on the Sahel.
Nigeria has a big border with Niger, who is arguably the weakest member of the Alliance of the Sahel States and the region that is most attacked by Wahabi-Takfiri types.
Don’t know what you think AHH but I think this has a double cover .. the first one stated – Christians and the second one a direct line to the Sahel States – and then of course, if there is oil, why not.

Keymasteryes agreed. I and those who know his toady history called him Agent Tinubu.
However, regardless of compradore elites, and all Anglophiles and former British colonies have them, these executives do answer to their people. Recall just days ago, he in panic replaced ALL his military leadership, fearful of a coup. Tinubu, like Modi with Indian farmers, MUST at the end of the day support his countless millions of abject poor. And the proven way is through sovereignty and refusing western diktat of forever remaining underdeveloped whilst former peers like China rise gloriously.
And as with current anger at India, I suspect much of Goldfinger’s invective against Nigeria is just that – impotent malice at having been so cleverly checkmated by the civilizational-states.
The genie is outta the bottle in Nigeria – theyve tasted some sovereignty, the pride of their soon world-leading refinery, crypto, boosted their currency through linking to oil trade, and are soaring in the Chinese Big Data/A.I. ecosphere. They’ve kept the pedal to the metal as far as commitment to BRICS. Nigerians are sharp! No compradore elite can roll all this back.
Hence the ongoing shameful raging by the Eternal Pirates.
So I anticipate they’ll set the refinery back through terrorism. But even there they harm themselves. Most of the exported Nigerian refinery product goes to …. (drum roll) USA. So they got Decisions to make, since their own refineries acquired a bad habit of going POOF. Such “plausible-deniable” Terror now impacts CONUS itself, just as against the Russo-Iranian “shadow-fleets” given interconnections of global oil trade. The madmen are literally living out the adage of cutting off one’s own nose to spite enemies…..
And continued verbal and economic aggression against Nigeria will repulse even more Africans faster away from the sinking Titanic. It really is a catch-22..
So Tinubu cannot do much harm IMO. He is a hostage of his rising, optimistic and vibrant people. Just like Goldfinger in the dead-middle of the Swamp
NB. This issue is strictly about Nigeria, not the Sahelian Junta. Those are lost forever. Now Nigeria itself is drifting hopelessly further and further away…. whilst the one-trick ponies were focused on the looting the interior “Heart of Darkness”, their very FOB coastal strips are being gently removed, one by one
PPS – and note the entire global spotlight is on this nonsense. Not the ongoing dual genocides in the two hot theatres……… the satanists are adept at narrative control, and switch-and-baiting

and behind Abu Dhabi stand the Anglo-Zionists, busy Gaza’ing the entire region for the coming glory of their demonlord the Moshiach.
In the bitter End Times, scant Arabs will remain – this was prophesied by the Arab Prophet.
Most are sunni, and like Al Assad’s Baathist regime, they fatally listened to the Salafi GCC, who sold them all out.
Sudan has been led by the Muslim Brotherhood and derivatives for generations. Neither side fighting it out has wisdom; both serve as excuse for both sides to be as exterminated as Gaza. Among the stupidest leadership in human history, who’ve helped holocaust their own kind. But after the Ashes shall come reckoning for Anglo-Zionist-Salafis, and in perpetuity in SW Asia~~~~~
A few days ago, I heard from Yemeni relative that Sudan requested military support from Yemen. This would be Ansarullah, as the southern Yemeni vassals serve the mutual enemy of Anglo-Zionist-Salafi, and specifically UAE for Sudan and Yemen.
This makes sense as Sudan’s own holocaust is quite advanced and nearly bled white. They’ve been set back as distant as Gaza. And populous Yemen’s got millions of footsoldiers they’ve been continuously training for over a decade.
However the fact remains Sudan, like Gaza or Iran or Russia, faces the total western printing press, ISR, drones, matchless logistics, and amoral support of 50 nations (including thousands of Columbian and Ukie mercs). Yemen would be a drop in the bucket. They wait for the western Beast paradigm to be finished off by Russia and Armageddon, before unleashing waves of soldiers on the arabian peninsula, Sudan and the Holy Land..
In the meantime, the priority is to counter drones, ISR, shut down porous borders, and face Team Legion as best as they can. Until Armageddon, where the might and industrial warfare capacities of the West will be shattered for good, it remains Big Leagues standoff between majors, and poor Yemen can only do so much.

⭕ Mali’s Fuel Crisis ‘Artificially Created’ With Goal of ‘Inciting Popular Uprising’: Foreign Minister🇲🇱🛢 Abdoulaye Diop made this statement during a meeting with diplomats and representatives of international organizations in Bamako, without naming the actors.
The strategy is to “asphyxiate our countries” by targeting the economy and citizens, ultimately aiming for their “subjugation,” Diop asserted.
👉 The terrorists exacerbating the shortage “do not act alone” but are “often sponsored from abroad and often even coached to adopt more sophisticated techniques.”
“The government has taken strong measures,” the minister assured, adding that despite some “disruptions,” fuel is arriving in the capital and is gradually reaching other parts of the country.
On a related note, Diop affirmed that Mali remains stable from a defense and security perspective, “despite the departure of foreign forces.”

KeymasterThe Demented Donald is not helping anyone! He has no grasp of historical accuracy. The French escaped France because they were religiously persecuted and killed minorities. They were not settlers but they fled. This man .. oh boy .. he is dangerous. And then there is this one aunt who married an Italian concentration camp survivor, and builder of roads .. Brit concentration camps and war legacy.
Thing is though ..
G20 as we’ve said and observed for the past two G20’s is now a BRICS shop. So, let the US stay away. Let them lose their influence.
He also says South Africa should not be in BRICS, or should be kicked out. The Dumb Donald has no idea that the G20 was specifically designed for countries like South Africa. Heavens, that man is a boorish and dumb. The G20 was established to create a space for countries that could not have a seat at the G8, as it was then constituted. Now, the G7 is irrelevant, and multilateral institutions such as the G20 are where it is at.
‘Killed and slaughtered’ .. These are the farm murders, a specific type of crime that is different from the normal crime-ridden society. All that the social, civil and societal groups and people that advocated wanted, is for this specific crime to be legislated as different from the normal crimes in order for it to get higher police attention. Because it is different.
So, these people in South Africa have to take his comments while he himself is shooting little boats in the Caribean. Total Disgrace!

he understates it. I have liberal relatives who flocked there and were shocked. They said degeneracy not seen in the USA and throughout the Garden exists in Dubai.
Perhaps only Zion and 404 exceed them in human and organ trafficking. And like both, focused on blonds from northern and eastern slavic lands.
After such “tastes” it is not surprising these serve as willing accomplices for Pax Barbaria on every continent, especially the Black Continent they consider inferior.
NB. these micro PetroSheikhdoms appear a human social engineering “live experiment.” What can normal humans tolerate, living cheek-to-jowl next to obscene opulence, whilst indentured servants? How fast can morality be stripped of a person, and turned into bestial zombie of the Apocalypse, through sheer greed and lusts? And they are leading digital surveillance state. So Gaza is planned for most, Dubai for the shallow who sell out…Goïta said the quiet part out loud. This isn’t about fighting terror, it’s about fighting control.

⭕ Mali’s FM Denies Western Media Claims of ‘Occupation of Capital’ by Jihadists“We are well in Bamako, we are not surrounded and we are completely free,” Abdoulaye Diop stated at a press conference held during the BAMEX25 defense exhibition.
He emphasized that “television studios do not control Mali,” condemning the panic campaigns in certain media outlets that, he said, aim to spread fear and confusion.
Diop also addressed the recent fuel blockade carried out by JNIM, Al-Qaeda’s Sahelian branch*, which led to long lines at gas stations in the capital and temporary school closures. According to him, these actions are intended to provoke unrest and destabilize the government.
“But the people understood the plan and continue to live their normal lives,” he said.
The FM added that the government was successfully mitigating the effects of the blockade and insisted that JNIM was “no match” for the security forces, noting that Mali now has sufficient military capability to deter any attempts at destabilization.
“We are in a proxy war. Some powers, unable to confront us directly, are using asymmetric forces to try to fight us, but Mali will overcome this difficulty, we will hold on and move forward,” he concluded.
⭕️ Mali’s FM Diop Accuses ‘Cowardly’ Western Powers of Waging Proxy War Through Terrorist Groups“Our populations have understood the scheme, they understand the game—they are not fooled,” Abdoulaye Diop told Sputnik Africa on the sidelines of the BAMEX 2025 military expo in Bamako. “We must not think we are simply facing terrorist groups.”
🇲🇱 The minister was unequivocal in his assessment: “No, this is a proxy war in which certain powers, which are cowardly and cannot confront us directly, are using terrorist groups and asymmetric forces to try to fight us.”
He concluded by accusing these powers of “trying to slip back in through the window what they could not obtain through the door.”
⭕️ Paris Behind Terrorist Attacks in Mali, Says Foreign Minister🇲🇱🇫🇷 The terrorists located not far from Bamako are well-equipped, and France is involved in this, Abdoulaye Diop told Sputnik Africa on the sidelines of the Defense and Security Exhibition in Bamako.
“Yesterday, I saw the head of French intelligence on television, saying he does not believe terrorists can take Bamako. […] And he claims it is not even their intention to take Bamako. We ask: ‘Oh, so you know their intentions? How do you know their intentions? Is it you who gives them this intention? Is it you who commands them?'”
⭕️ BAMEX 2025 Against Proxy War Backdrop: Mali ‘Will Not Be Distracted,’ Says Abdoulaye DiopHolding the Defense and Security Exhibition in Bamako demonstrates that “Mali has a vision, Mali has a goal,” stated the Malian foreign minister in response to a question from Sputnik Africa on the sidelines of the expo.
“This is the best possible response: not only do the Malian army and defense and security forces work daily to ensure the security of the entire national territory, but they also work to modernize our country and equip our defense and security forces with cutting-edge technologies,” the minister noted.
⭕️ Neo-Colonial Powers Are Imposing ‘Asymmetric War’ on AES, Nigerien Political Analyst Says- 🌍 The AES countries and their partners must continue to pool their efforts to improve the security situation, Issoufou Boubacar Kado Magagi told Sputnik Africa.
- “The neo-colonial and neo-imperialist global powers, distressed by the war in Ukraine, are seeking to seize the wealth of the AES. The partner countries of the AES should redouble their efforts to help counter these subversive ambitions,” he stated.
- 🎯 The expert reiterated an essential equation: “There can be no win-win cooperation and economic development without security.”

💠 @kuluary_zaliva:
⭕ 🤝 USA and UAE: AI Drones for Maritime Patrol- 📝 The American company Anduril Industries and the defense group EDGE (UAE) are creating a joint venture in Abu Dhabi to produce autonomous Omen drones — the first Anduril product to be manufactured in the Middle East. EDGE is investing about $200 million in the project, effectively establishing an industrial foothold for Anduril in the region.
- 📊 An order for 50 Omen systems has already been confirmed by a UAE customer, whose name has not been disclosed. This shows that the project is not being developed “just in case”: there is already confirmed local demand, and production is scheduled to start by the end of 2028.
- 🌐 The joint production format demonstrates that the UAE aims to develop its own defense technologies relying on external partners, not just imports. For Anduril, this is an opportunity to establish itself in the region through local facilities rather than one-time deliveries. If the project goes as planned, the country will have a sustainable base for the development of autonomous maritime systems.

Useful Background:
💠 @Africa Intel:
⭕ 🇬🇼 Guinea-Bissau: A Nation on the EdgeGuinea-Bissau is facing a deepening political crisis as President Umaro Sissoco Embalo’s term nears its constitutional end. The opposition insists his mandate expires on February 27, 2025, while the Supreme Court ruled it extends to September 2025. This dispute has sparked nationwide protests and calls for a “dead city” shutdown.
Embalo’s decision to postpone elections to November 2025 has been criticized as an attempt to cling to power. The crisis highlights the country’s history of instability, with fears of military intervention and economic struggles adding fuel to the fire.
The situation has regional implications, as West Africa grapples with democratic backsliding and coups in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. The outcome in Guinea-Bissau could either set a positive precedent or further destabilize the region.

The incumbent trying to stay on by hook or crook ingratiated himself with both Orange and Putin in last year.. Their location is to south of Senegal, and just off the Sahel, a useful FOB for certain Pirates…]
⭕ 🇬🇼 Guinea-Bissau’s Political Crisis: ECOWAS-UNOWAS Mission Forced to WithdrawThe ECOWAS-UNOWAS mission abruptly ended its visit to Guinea-Bissau on March 1, 2025, following President Umaro Sissoco Embaló’s threat of expulsion. This marks a dramatic escalation in the country’s political crisis, which has been ongoing since Embaló’s contested election in 2019.
The mission aimed to mediate a consensus on the electoral calendar, but Embaló’s defiance highlights the deepening rift between Guinea-Bissau and regional bodies. With postponed elections and a controversial Supreme Court ruling extending Embaló’s term, concerns about democratic erosion are mounting.
[This blurb is from March 03, 2025]
⭕ 🇬🇼 Guinea-Bissau’s Political Storm: Embalo’s Re-Election Bid Sparks Crisis- Guinea-Bissau’s political landscape is in turmoil as President Umaro Sissoco Embalo seeks re-election amidst controversy. Originally set for December 2024, the election has been postponed to November 30, 2025, extending Embalo’s term. Opposition parties argue his mandate expired in February 2025, but a Supreme Court ruling allows him to stay until September 2025.
- Embalo’s presidency has been marked by authoritarianism and instability, including dissolving parliament twice since 2020. The postponement has heightened tensions, with opposition leaders vowing to disrupt economic activities through strikes and protests. The international community and ECOWAS are closely monitoring the situation.
- The upcoming election is seen as a critical test for Guinea-Bissau’s democracy. Concerns about the fairness of the electoral process, the role of the military, and the undue influence of Embalo’s government on key institutions remain unresolved.

KeymasterGuinea-Bissau has a coup every 18 months or so. The coup capital of Africa. The president heard there was a coup, and called the newspapers himself and told them that he had been taken down. This was three days after he was re-elected. Now it will be a while of a military .gov and then one or another will take over again. The military decides who is president over there.
