The national flag of St. Kitts and Nevis was designed to reflect the African roots of the nation. The colors were patterned after the flags of several African nations, which is why the flag features Pan-African colors.

August 21, 1971 - George Jackson’s life is stolen at San Quentin State Prison. A field marshal for the Black Panther Party and co-founder of the Black Guerrilla Family, his assassination by prison guards sent shockwaves throughout the Black Liberation Movement.
Both dressed in English attire, (should I add absurd for the African heat)
Holding microphones designed abroad.
Speaking English.
Packaging themselves in the image of the Englishman.
But Tony draws the line at being called Tony by someone less successful.
Even “Tony” isn't African. It comes from the Roman name Antonius, later popularised through figures like Anthony of Padua.
It's interesting that a people who borrowed the clothes, the language, the religion, technology 🎤, even the names ha ppve somehow built status hierarchies around borrowed identity and called it “African culture.”
Africa is littered with people who no longer know where they came from, barely understand where they are, and have no idea where they are going.

Iran used to be the undisputed global leader in pistachio production, producing the very best pistachios in the world. The US bourgeoisie wanted a piece of the pie, especially the Resnicks, a spectacularly evil family even by US standards. One more reason Iran had to go.
After decades upon decades of the most brutal, almost genocidal sanctions and overwhelming tariffs, they finally did it. Iran's share of global pistachio production dropped to 15-20%, while that of the US catapulted to more than 60-70%, despite its products being of poorer quality.
While the US regime artificially installed itself as the world's largest producer of Pistachio, they couldn't dislodge Iran completely. As with all capitalists, they wanted more.
So in the 2026 US invasion of Iran, some of the first targets the empire bombed were Iran's pistachio farms, production facilities, and warehouses. They could always claim that they were "dual use" (or had a Hamas bunker underneath). And with trade routes disrupted, guess who benefits the most. Iran will find a way to recoup its losses, but the Resnicks are laughing all the way to their pistachio farms - and their bank.
This is why wars are fought - whether economic or military. They're not fought for pretty faces that "launched a thousand ships", or to avenge the violation of "xenia", or to capture and defend the "holy land from the infidels", or to defeat the menace of "Judeo-Bolshevism", or to spread "democracy", or to fight "terrorism".
All wars are MATERIAL wars. All wars for fought for resources, whether financialized or tangible.
Now of course you cannot say this openly. You cannot state the real reason you want men to die for you. So you invent one that resonates with them. You create a Grand Lie to convince millions of men to leave their families and children, and sacrifice their entire lives for the "cause".
You invent elaborate cover stories. You use your complete control over the means of communication, and the recording of the past. You weaponize history. You exploit culture. You make peaceful men WANT to kill and be killed - just because you said so.
You tell them that their God Zeus has been insulted, or that defending the Holy Land from the Moslems will grant you salvation, or that the Asiatic Jewish Bolshevik hordes must be destroyed in order to save Germany, or that the Iraqis yearn for freedom from their dictator, or that the Palestinians and Lebanese and Iranians must be killed or the Jewish people will suffer from another Shoah.
All warfare is deception. The biggest trick the devil ever pulled is to conceal the truth.
The Haitian Revolution began on this day in 1791.
It became a tremendous symbol of hope for slaves throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and the United States — and one of tremulous fear for their masters.

Exile Former Gambian President Yahya Jammeh has announced “Operation Complete Weeding,” a planned internal campaign within the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction (APRC), in a new audio message to party supporters.
Yahya Jammeh, who seized power in a military coup in 1994 and ruled The Gambia until January 2017, has lived in exile in Equatorial Guinea since leaving office and spoke directly to what he called “genuine members” of the APRC. Jammeh urged patience while warning against people allegedly using his name to issue statements or attack the party executive. He instructed supporters to verify any such claims carefully.
This isn't even banter. It's a pure fact.
Women have been giving birth for over a millennium. It has never been a big deal. The only reason modern women are now acting like it's some big deal is because modern men are now emotionally weak.
Our foremothers were giving birth at home which after, they go straight to the farm and cook for their husbands. Alot of us also watched our mothers drive herself to the hospital and after giving birth, came back home to cook for us.
Pregnancy has always been the barest minimum. The only reason these pregnant women are acting up, frustrating their husbands and making his life a living hell while blaming it on pregnancy is because they know exactly the kind of man they settled for. They know their husband is a foolish man, so they get to play with your emotions as long as they're carrying your baby.
Ask yourself, why do every woman who's pregnant out of wedlock under their father's roof never act up, having pregnancy cravings or over stress about pregnancy like those married pregnant women?
At the end of the day, these pregnant women are just performative because they married an emotionally weak man.
So if you like, allow women continue to use pregnancy to punish you for a child that might end up not being yours.
