The African Gazette

Any grand narrative about Africa that overlooks the reality of a world order rooted in domination smells of opium. At the African Gazette, we know better.

Côte d'Ivoire's Electoral Commission Is Paving the Way for Another Electoral Disaster. 👇👇👇

DeepSeek. A blindsiding. Because it’s one of these naughty upsets that Silicon Valley didn’t see coming.

In what has been dubbed The AI Cold War, America appeared to be dominating the game, head and shoulders.

America has Nvidia, the presumptive tech leader in the field of AI and machine learning.

But then, comes along DeepSeek. Read it @ https://t.co/yq5aigDjr5

Not unlike Google's Gemini, which bugs on queries with keywords that trigger its suspicion filters.

Even "Kennedy" causes Gemini to clam up. You get this type of selective sensitivity on issues that are taboo to China.

But take DeepSeek down the oceans and it goes with you. Up the mountains, and it obliges.

Query it about interstellar space, and it spits out a treat for your enjoyment."

"Yes, we've tested it. It's not everything. And DeepSeek is honest about it. Try it with any technical query, and it's a breeze.

But it would not indulge you on queries that solicit the usual Western narratives about China.

It goes mute on Tiananmen Square, for example. Smart—it won't bite the hand that feeds it.

We have "test-driven" the Chinese AI chatbot and it measures up to all the rage—Beyond its top-notch performance, @deepseek_ai is one great technological leveller between the West and the Global South. 👇👇

In any event, less direct U.S. intervention could potentially allow more autonomy for African nations to shape their own economic and political futures.

But Donald Trump may yet be the U.S. president whose African policy would turn out to be popular with this generation of Africans—Turning Point Africa.

Donald Trump is back, declaring an "American Golden Age," promising to be a global peace-maker.

Whatever he does, Africa's best interest under the new administration lies in America leaving it alone.

But Trump may yet be the U.S. president whose African policy would turn out to be popular with this generation of Africans. Here why 👉👉

So, what’s the bottom line here? Within the grand scheme of global geopolitics, Donald Trump’s personal views on Africa would come to matter less.

If only for the sake of taking the competition to China, Trump can’t afford to sneer at Africa, a continent with such obscene reserves of strategic resources.
