🇳🇦 BREAKING: Namibia just paid off its entire IMF debt. Zero balance. $23.8 million repaid. No new loans. No new conditions. Freedom.
While other nations drown in IMF austerity, Namibia walked out. No more structural adjustment. No more neoliberal lectures. No more foreign control over economic policy.
This is what sovereignty looks like. Paying your debts. Refusing new ones. Charting your own path.
Namibia is free. Other African nations should take notes.
Question for the timeline: Which African country should be next to tell the IMF goodbye?
Zambia must decide by April 30 if it'll provide US businesses with preferential access to its minerals, or lose support for 1.3 million people who rely on funding from Washington for HIV treatment.

Turns out the 0 gram shoe is that time Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikila did the 1960 Rome Olympics marathon barefoot and set a world record of 2:15:16 while winning Gold.
He was late addition after another runner got injured and the shoes they gave didn’t fit, so he went shoeless.
Blockading Iranian ports is an act of war and thus a violation of the ceasefire.
Striking a commercial vessel and taking its crew hostage is an even greater violation.
Iran knows how to neutralize restrictions, how to defend its interests, and how to resist bullying.
This is the shocking moment a hungry crocodile sauntered into a restaurant in Zimbabwe.
Rangers had to capture the gatecrasher from the nearby Zambezi River.
Just woke up. Has trump declared the strait opened, closed, reopened, re closed, partially opened, opening with a closing, closing with an opening, wide open, side open?
A white South African man killed his wife with a gun. The court gave him 5 years in jail. A black man shot in the sky celebrating the anniversary of his party. The court gave him 5 years plus 2 years plus many fines in the same South African 🇿🇦 court.
Julius Malema didn’t kill or injure anyone. His bullet went straight into the air. But the court punished him more than the white man who killed his wife. This case is not about crime; it is Western-motivated and about silencing Julius Malema and the EFF.
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
