I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.

Car depuis les années 1960, les peuples du Sud rêvent de pouvoir avoir le choix de choisir le chemin. Pourtant, dès qu’une semblant lueur d’espoir apparaît, on recule au lieu d’avancer.

Countries that seek to reduce their dependence on an increasingly unpredictable and aggressive America will be punished. These outbursts by Trump are free advertisement for BRICS. Trump can counter BRICS by restoring trust, and just accept multipolar realities

The US-brokered "peace deal" between the DRC and Rwanda is actually wild.

The US is getting access to $2 trillion worth of DRC minerals in exchange for forcing the withdrawal of Rwandan-backed M23 militias. That's one-tenth of the DRC's total mineral wealth, more than any single foreign country claims.

This is strange, because analysts of the region have long argued that the US has effectively enabled Rwandan support for the M23 in order to destabilize the DRC, prevent a functional state from arising and achieving sovereignty over its mineral wealth, and thus ensure minerals stay cheaply available for US firms.

If this analysis is correct, then the US has just acquired $2 trillion in mineral rights in exchange for stopping a conflict that it has effectively supported.

Consider also how the media discourse is playing out. Remember that in 2008 Chinese firms signed a deal with the DRC to obtain $9 billion in minerals in exchange for infrastructure development. Western media went wild with narratives of "Chinese colonization". Now the US has secured a minerals deal 200x larger and the media narrative is all about how the US brings "peace".

In Accra, paid homage to Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. He was a visionary statesman whose thoughts and ideals guide several people. He devoted himself towards the well-being of people of Ghana.

Just wrapped up an amazing time as a visiting PhD scholar at @WageningenUR ’s Soil Geography & Landscape group!
Studied land subsidence & impacts in rapidly growing coastal cities📉
Grateful for the science, support & unforgettable moments! 🇨🇲🤝🇳🇱

🚨L’Accord #Rwanda-#RDC sous pression des #USA.

Fortifi Lushima : « Les États-Unis ont exclusivement obtenu la légalisation et la légitimation du pillage de nos minerais. Le #Rwanda en sort indemne et devient officiellement un acteur régional incontournable dans la co-gestion de nos ressources naturelles. C’est la première fois au Monde qu’une guerre qui a causée un génocide puisse se conclure sans l’établissement d’une commission de justice et de réparation. Le #Congo a simplement obtenu la promesse d’une paix négociée et des investissements des capitaux étrangers qui vont amplifier la domination économique ».

Que la nouvelle génération se prépare à la prochaine guerre avec une vision de grandeur basée sur l’identité nationale et la volonté de puissance.

Si le ministre rwandais @onduhungirehe dit que c’est un jour historique pour Kigali, il est clair que cela puisse être un jour honteux pour le pays de Lumumba.

🎉 Huge congrats to Dr. Miao Ye (Capital Normal University), who just defended her PhD!
Her work develops a coupled FE–PD model to simulate land subsidence & fissures in Beijing, combining InSAR, machine learning, and advanced mechanics
