Col. Douglas Macgregor: It just won't work.
What we have today in China and in Russia are the very opposite of the things that we anticipated.
So the whole idea of sanctioning, threatening, bullying has got to go away.

On this day in 2011, revolutionary Libyan leader and pan-Africanist Muammar Gaddafi was captured and executed by NATO-backed rebels. Not long after, The Atlantic published an article with the headline: 'As Qaddafi Died, So Did His Craziest Dream and Mistake: Pan-Africanism.' Yes, they actually said the quiet part out loud.
The article boldly states, "Qaddafi's death -- and the outpouring of support for the late Libyan leader in sub-Saharan Africa following his demise -- is a reminder that pan-Africanism was an historic mistake of enormous proportions -- a simple-minded political ideology that for the past 50 years or so has done more harm than good for Africa's standing in the world."
People across the political spectrum still debate whether Gaddafi really was the brutal dictator the West made him out to be. Was he killed because he was hated by his own people? Or did his anti-imperialist politics and refusal to bow down to the West play a decisive role? Today, in 2024, there is a significant body of evidence that the West had a vested interest in removing Gaddafi, who was working to liberate and unify Africa. This article by The Atlantic was an early clue.
The most persuasive evidence that there was a Western plot to destroy pan-Africanism through Gaddafi's assassination comes directly from email correspondences between former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former aide to President Bill Clinton, Sidney Blumenthal. Here’s an extract from one email:
"This [Libyan] gold [reserve] was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA)... French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy's decision to commit France to the attack on Libya."
They did not want Africa to unite under the golden dinar currency that Gaddafi proposed, so he had to go.

#Eritrea's National Cycling Team (Female and Male teams) - which dominated the African Continental Cycling Championships in Kenya to win 7 Gold; 5 Silver & 4 Bronze Medals - returned home today amid a tumultous official and public reception.
President Isaias met the Team at Adi Halo immediately after their arrival. President Isaias conveyed his congratulations to the entire people of Eritrea and urged for more rigorous efforts to produce national athletes who can compete and win in all sporting categories.
Asmara's residents have poured, in their thousands, to the main streets to welcome their heroines and heroes in the National Cycling team...
Congratulations to Eritrea, Somalia, Egypt, & the region. I can easily envision this becoming the foundation of a regional group that should naturally include Saudia, Sudan, Yemen, & Djibouti, positioning them as significant geographical players. #Eritrea#Somalia#Egypt

African Stream has been banned by Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. We were censored after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made false, unsubstantiated claims against us on Friday. To be clear, contrary to the accusations, African Stream does not receive any funding from any state.
We will shorty release a full statement regarding our work, our funding and these accusations. We are currently consulting our legal team to figure out how best to move forward.
We thank all of our loyal followers and encourage those who want to hear our pan-African perspectives to join our Patreon and Telegram. (We are also still on TikTok and X - for now!)

Yet another grotesquely familiar howl from US Congressman Brad Sherman against Eritrea.
Clueless as he is about the history and current reality in the region, Sherman has the audacity to speak/feign concern about "the freedom of the Eritrean people".
He must be reminded that the US Government had auctioned/short-changed Eritrea's freedom at a crucial juncture in history for the illicit Kagnew Military Base that it acquired through illicit and despicable machinations at the UN.... the rest is history.
More recenclty, his untenable support to TPLF's War of Insurrection stemmed from a lobbysit's fee. It had otherwise nothing to do with justice, ethics/legality, or the welfare of the peoples of the region.
