Warm congratulations 🙌 to all who have earned a Degree 📜 whether it be Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate from the University of Zambia, this week.
But let us always remember: it is not so much about how much we know but what we do with what we know.
May we do what we have 2Do
@zambianwhistle Good attend by Senior Counsel Sangwa, SC but the realities of Zambian political chess have taught you with the movement. It takes a lot of persistence and flexibility in strategy to have a solid political party in Zambia.
Do we think about tomorrow? Do our leaders ever think of sustainability? Do they see what other countries they draw inspiration from are doing? Are they just fine with mediocrity???
How does it feel to be a politician whose children are studying at decent private schools to go and commission a useless structure like this where your fellow parents children will make memories of their secondary or primary school over a great many years from?
🧵 THREAD: TRUMP’S BIGGEST MOMENTS FROM TONIGHT'S ADDRESS TO CONGRESS
Trump just delivered a fiery speech packed with bold declarations—from reclaiming the Panama Canal to banning transgender athletes in women’s sports.
Dive in to some of the most noteworthy moments from Trump's speech to Congress👇
USAID funneled $53 million to EcoHealth Alliance, which then used U.S. taxpayer funds to support gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab—research that likely led to the creation of COVID-19.
The CIA’s deception regarding COVID-19 origins becomes much clearer when considering USAID's long history of serving as a CIA front organization.
With an annual budget exceeding $50 billion and activities in over 100 countries, USAID has repeatedly been linked to intelligence activities. Former USAID Director John Gilligan once admitted the agency was “infiltrated from top to bottom with CIA people,” explaining that “the idea was to plant operatives in every kind of activity we had overseas: government, volunteer, religious, every kind.”
In 2013, a U.S. cable published by WikiLeaks outlined the U.S. strategy to undermine Venezuela’s government through USAID by "penetrating Chavez’s political base," "dividing Chavismo," and "isolating Chavez internationally."
In 2014, the Associated Press revealed that USAID funded the creation of a Twitter-like platform intended to incite a rebellion in Cuba.
USAID funding has been linked to coups in Haiti, Ukraine, Egypt, and other nations.
From 2009 to 2019, USAID partnered with EcoHealth Alliance on the PREDICT program, which identified 1,200 new viruses, trained 5,000 people globally in disease detection, and enhanced 60 research labs.
This partnership provided the CIA with a direct channel for embedding human assets within biological research facilities worldwide in exchange for funding and technology transfers.
In 2022, Dr. Andrew Huff, a former Vice President at EcoHealth Alliance, publicly revealed Dr. Peter Daszak’s alleged ties to the CIA.
The core issue?
The CIA lied to the American public about COVID-19’s origins because acknowledging the truth would expose its likely role in funneling taxpayer money through USAID to finance gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab.
South Africa is a constitutional democracy that is deeply rooted in the rule of law, justice and equality. The South African government has not confiscated any land.
The recently adopted Expropriation Act is not a confiscation instrument, but a constitutionally mandated legal process that ensures public access to land in an equitable and just manner as guided by the constitution.
South Africa, like the United States of America and other countries, has always had expropriation laws that balance the need for public usage of land and the protection of rights of property owners.
We look forward to engaging with the Trump administration over our land reform policy and issues of bilateral interest. We are certain that out of those engagements, we will share a better and common understanding over these matters.
The US remains a key strategic political and trade partner for South Africa. With the exception of PEPFAR Aid, which constitutes 17% of South Africa’s HIVAids programme, there is no other funding that is received by South Africa from the United States.
@LarryMadowo This is not a prayer. It’s basically the brother reciting Martin Lurther Kkng Junior’s speech. Missed opportunity for the brother to be authentic.
@victorkalalanda Thanks Victor. I don’t exactly recall the place but I remember the devouring and part of what we chatted about. Thanks for this photo!
