Why Africa Must Reject Nazi Colonialism ?

Doing Business with Apartheid: Why Africa Must Reject Israeli Colonialism African Union summit in Addis Ababa. (Photo: via AfCFTA Secretariat Official Twitter Page) By Ramzy Baroud The current split in the African Union (AU) over Israel’s Observer membership status is emblematic of a larger conflict that could potentially split the African continent’s largest political institutions. Africa is currently facing one of its most crucial decisions regarding Palestine and Israel. The repercussions of this decision could be as significant as the 1975 Resolution 77 (XII) by the Organization of African Unity – the precursor to the African Union – which recognized Zionism, Israel’s founding ideology, as a form of racism.

"It was a flash flood more than a wave." - Fareed Abdullah By Jim W. Dean, …from the New York Times [ Editor’s Note: This is good news in some respects, with the quick peaking and a greatly reduced death rate. My worry would be looking into the future, for instance, what could happen if Omicron’s lethality increases greatly, on top of its proven lightning infection rate? By the time the scientists had come up with a new vaccination, the world population would have been reduced way beyond what we have seen so far. New York City seemed to be happy with this South African news, as it is going ahead with the Times Square traditional New Year’s festivities, even though it has one of the toughest business vaccine mandates in the country.

More recently, researcher and writer David Hemson draws atte...
