Despite negative publicity by Western media and politicians, Africa continues to prosper. This page shares opportunities on the continent and gives others hope.

“We’re tired of foreigners. I don’t even have a car, but they have cars.”

~ A man from South Africa 🇿🇦 explains why South Africans are chasing foreigners away.

Unfortunate scenes! Every sober person needs to condemn this.

[Sahel Revolutionary Soldier @cecild84]

I really would like to know why South Africans are so aggressive towards other African people. Why do they hate us so much?
It is as if they were told that Africans were the ones that told apartheid to oppress them.

[HAILAFRICA!!! @HAILAFRICA81]

Sad!

Now that Elon Musk has become the first trillionaire in history, should Africans celebrate this milestone? Remember Musk was born and raised in South Africa.

@AfricanHub_ Unfortunately, he’s not proud of his country/continent of birth.

[HAILAFRICA!!! @HAILAFRICA81]

@melanin_afrique Stop blaming everything on CIA!!!

[HAILAFRICA!!! @HAILAFRICA81]

@AfricanHub_ Takes two to tango.

[HAILAFRICA!!! @HAILAFRICA81]

@PetersWonderboy True. But how about those who follow foolishly for their selfish interests? What do we call them?

[HAILAFRICA!!! @HAILAFRICA81]

The rift between South Africa and the rest of Africa seems to be getting wider. I still wonder why the leaders have failed to resolve the matter amicably. Despite our differences, we should strive to remain united as a continent.

South Africa especially must put in more effort in mending relations with other countries because they need Africa more than Africa needs them. I hope the AU Commission will intervene before more damage is caused!

@ali_naka @FIFAcom Too bad!

[HAILAFRICA!!! @HAILAFRICA81]

@BBCSport Very sad but not shocking.

Soccer World Cup referee Omar Artan from Somalia was denied entry into the US by the Trump administration, days before the event starts. Also, many African journalists were denied visas to cover the tournament, according to reports. Real shit hole policy! https://t.co/InC39VVcfk

@zoomafrika1 He was truly one of the most patriotic African leaders. He will never be forgotten.

[HAILAFRICA!!! @HAILAFRICA81]

@Joe__Bassey Exactly! Africa has always been great.

This video never grows old!!

@Laaventure @Xeno_Xr27B @nxt888 Very sad!

[HAILAFRICA!!! @HAILAFRICA81]

@DOmowale Exactly. It’s easier to criticize than offer solutions.

[HAILAFRICA!!! @HAILAFRICA81]

@GraffiPikin Yes. And they were never jobless. They had land and animals to take care of. That was real freedom.

[HAILAFRICA!!! @HAILAFRICA81]

Development is very broad and can't be determined by only railway and pipeline. And I have not said the leaders have not made mistakes. We all know the bad things happening and I condemn that. However, I don't believe everything is bad and that Africa is done and dusted. I cannot join an enemy to destroy what raised me. I choose to be positive.

US-IRAN CONFLICT: LESSONS FOR AFRICA

When President Trump attacked Iran and killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in February, he was certain the operation would be over within a few weeks. After all, he had just enjoyed a smooth ride in Venezuela, where President Nicolás Maduro had reportedly been captured in his pajamas and flown to the United States.

Within hours of the attack, Iran hit back hard against neighboring countries friendly to the United States. Military bases were not spared, and the conflict continues to this day. Calling it a tie would be generous to the United States. Gas prices have risen, NATO allies have distanced themselves, and Trump's support has dropped significantly, even among some of his strongest supporters.

What is the lesson for Africa? Do not abandon your dreams simply to please the United States. Resist ideas and policies that seek to undermine our countries and weaken our future. Iran has done exactly that for 47 years despite threats and sanctions. I am not suggesting that everything is perfect in Iran, but one reason the country has survived for so long is that it defined its mission and vision and remained committed to them.

Iranians have endured decades of economic hardship caused by sanctions imposed by the United States and Europe, yet they have refused to break. As the saying goes, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog."

In reality, the United States possesses a stronger military than Iran, but it often lacks the political appetite to sustain a prolonged war. The American public has generally lost enthusiasm for foreign conflicts, forcing politicians to avoid major military engagements or limit them to targeted operations for fear of electoral consequences. On the other hand, Iran, like many countries in Africa, faces different political pressures. Such nations can remain committed to a struggle for as long as necessary and may ultimately prevail through endurance and determination.

Somalia, despite its many challenges, demonstrated that it is possible to stand up to a stronger opponent. During the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993, Somali fighters inflicted significant losses on U.S. forces, leading to a reassessment of American involvement in the country.

The shift in America's willingness to engage in conflict should be viewed as an opportunity for African leaders who genuinely care about their people but whose policies may not align with the preferences of the world's self-appointed police officer. The time to act is now. Beyond diplomatic pressure, criticism, and threats, the United States may be increasingly reluctant to launch major military interventions.

The broader lesson is that a determined population is often a nation's greatest source of strength. When people believe their leaders have their best interests at heart, they are more willing to endure hardship and resist external pressure, regardless of how powerful the opposing force may be.

Africa should therefore pursue ambitious projects in oil, gold, diamonds, agriculture, manufacturing, and technology to improve the welfare of its people. There should be no excuse for signing unfavorable agreements that do not serve national interests. The time has come for African leaders to say no to policies and programs that undermine their countries' long-term development.

Viva Africa!
