Bucket list goal(s): Either invest or build a life in Africa at some point in my life 📚🇬🇭✍️
Always grateful and humbled that my grandfather was born in Ghana & was a chief of his tribe. A goal.
Mali Court Sentences French Spy To 20 Years In Prison
A Malian court has handed a 20-year sentence to French intelligence officer Yann Christian-Bernard Vézilier, along with a $6,333 fine, for plotting to destabilize the West African country and topple its government. The sentencing, read on June 5, 2026, came nearly a year after Vézilier’s arrest along with several local co-conspirators by Malian authorities, and signals the Malian government's determination to defend its nation’s sovereignty.
As a member of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Mali has faced relentless att*cks by Western-backed t*rrorists, economic isolation and sovereignty violations by Western-aligned African states, and endless slander from Western and Western-aligned media. Despite these externally-imposed challenges, the country and its fellow AES members, Niger and Burkina Faso, have continued to record economic and political wins.
All 3 AES members have pointed to former colonizer France as a key sponsor of t*rror in the region – a claim which has been corroborated by their international allies – and France itself has made no bones about its intentions to revive its dwindling influence in Africa, and in so doing, shore up its presently crumbling economy.
U.S. AFRICOM Signals New Scramble for Africa
The United States is not hiding its desperate scramble for Africa’s mineral resources.
At a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on May 14, 2026, U.S. AFRICOM commander Gen. Gagvin R.M. Anderson described Africa’s resources, geography, and population as critical to U.S. national security. In the same breath, he framed the continent as the “epicenter of global t*rrorism.”
That language is not accidental.
By presenting Africa as both resource-rich and security-threatening, the U.S. is creating the excuse for a pr*datory empire to do what it does best - destabilize and extract.
I do look forward to a good haggling parle with insurance providers - every year an increase for no feasible reason.
£60 - £70 knocked off a home insurance renewal, after sweet bribery (and threatening to walk). I could feel them rolling their eyes over the phone. 😅
Billy Allison, the original founder of Raise the Colours, has been charged with murder and grievous bodily harm with intent after a man was badly beaten in a bar in Lichfield on Sunday. The victim died in hospital yesterday from his injuries.
He's due to appear in court today.
Rechnitz convinced Floyd to donate millions of dollars in financial support to Israel. Used his private jet to deliver medical aid and food aid and had him shilling for the state of Israel at fundraising events. What a buffoon.
£1,000 cashback from @Fidelity_UK for a combo ISA/ SIPP transfer in. I’ll take that, thank you very much. Forgot it was due for 6 months 🍹😅😎🙌🏾 #boglehead#indexfunds
“[JNIM] are imperial terrorists. I don’t call them jihadists bc it’s not a religious war. It’s a recolonization project against Africa..”
Solidarity with Mali !! 🇲🇱
🇲🇱 TODAY, ALL BLACK PEOPLE HAVE TO BE PROUD OF MALI
When the western funded terrorist launched an all out attack in order to overwhelm the defences of Mali and take the town of Kidal, the citizens in the town of Kidal caught the terrorist back EMPTY HANDED or with whatever they had, against well armed Jihadists.
I have never seen this before.
This will go down in history as one of the most heroic collective acts ever.
