New alliance is a knock-out for NATO in the Sahel

Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, by founding a new Alliance of Sahel States, have started a revolution in the continent’s geopolitics. Franklin Nyamsi Subscribe to our channel Since the popular coup in Niger last August completed a trio of adjoining anti-imperialist revolutions in West Africa, the pace of decolonisation has continued to accelerate. Not only have French troops and organs of control been liquidated, but meaningful measures to enforce real sovereignty and improve the lives of the people are being implemented in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso alike. Steady moves towards greater economic and military integration reflect the long suppressed pan-Africanist roots and aspirations of the region which gave birth to Thomas Sankara and Amilcar Cabral.

Over a Million Palestinians Are About to be Forced Into Egypt at Gunpoint

By Mike Whitney Global Research, It must be clear that there is no room in the country for both peoples…. If the Arabs leave it, the country will become wide and spacious for us…. The only solution is a Land of Israel…without Arabs. There is no room here for compromises… (Yosef Weitz (1890-1972) former director of the Jewish National Fund’s Land Settlement Department) The IDF’s recent airstrikes on civilian areas in Rafah mark the beginning of the final phase of Israel’s massive ethnic cleansing project. On Monday, Israel bombed a number of locations where Palestinian refugees were huddled in tents after fleeing Israel’s onslaught in the North. Videos of the destruction appeared on a number of Twitter-sites which showed a deeply-cratered wasteland in the middl...

‘Israel’ Goes to Court for the Crime of Genocide

The Biden Administration will lie, cheat and go to war to protect its “best friend” PHILIP GIRALDI A friend of mine who follows international developments closely recently observed that the United States and Israel have “own goaled” themselves to become widely perceived as together the two most evil governments on earth. It is a judgement that is hard to disagree with regarding the Jewish state if one examines the abundant evidence that Israel is systematically committing war crimes against the largely unarmed Palestinian civilian population in an effort to bring about ethnic cleansing or even genocide in Gaza and on the West Bank. The process would include removing the Palestinians physically and/or killing them if they resist, which is what is currently taking place. Somethin...

BRICS Member South Africa Takes Zionism to Court

PEPE ESCOBAR Pretoria’s genocide case against Israel is crucial, not just to stop Tel Aviv’s carnage in Gaza, but to plant the first flag of mutipolarism in the globe’s courtrooms: this is the first case of many that will seek to halt western impunity and restore international law as envisioned in the UN Charter. Nothing less than the full concept of international law will be on trial this week in The Hague. The whole world is watching. It took an African nation, not an Arab or Muslim nation, but significantly a BRICS member, to try to break the iron chains deployed by Zionism via fear, financial might, and non-stop threats, enslaving not only Palestine but substantial swathes of the planet. By a twist of historical poetic justice, South Africa, a nation that knows one or...

A Crack in a 75-year-old Wall of Impunity: South Africa Challenges ‘Israeli’ Genocide in Court

South Africa’s painstakingly compiled genocide case against the Israeli government isn’t just an important legal document — it’s a rallying cry for civil society. By Craig Mokhiber and Phyllis Bennis Foreign Policy in Focus 1948 was a year of tragic irony. That year saw the adoption of both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, together promising a world in which human rights would be protected by the rule of law. That same year, South Africa adopted apartheid and Israeli forces carried out the Nakba, the violent mass dispossession of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Both systems relied on western colonial support. In short, the modern international human rights movement was born...

Proxy colonialism: The West is using this African nation as an imperial accomplice

Foreign interventions cannot solve security problems in Haiti, as long as they remain the main reason for insecurity in the country By Dr. Westen K.

The mission, for an initial period of 12 months, was approved through...

Gaddafi took the country with him: Why do Libyans feel occupied after being ‘liberated’?

The nation still remembers the old days of real sovereignty it had before 2011 By Mustafa Fetouri, Libyan academic and award winning journalist and analyst FILE PHOTO: Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi, April 10, 2011 © JOSEPH EID / AFP Twelve years ago, the so-called Arab Spring visited Libya, ending Muammar Gaddafi’s rule and plunging the country into chaos, leaving it divided along tribal and regional lines.

Apartheid

Posted by: John Phoenix After its election victory in 1948, the National Party (some of whose leaders had been locked up as Nazi sympathisers during the Second World War), guided by the racist ideology of apartheid, built a state to entrench white supremacy. Through more than 40 pieces of legislation enacted by the whites-only Parliament, the majority of the country’s population were disenfranchised, forcibly evicted from their homes and from fertile land that they and their ancestors had cultivated for generations, and dumped in poor, bleak, rural surroundings or in townships to serve as a source of cheap labour. Apartheid began at birth, with each child registered on the basis of his or her race. Inter-racial marriage and sex were outlawed under the Prohibition of Mixed Ma...
