If it’s a clear cut penalty, it doesn’t need 200 replays for a referee to make up his mind. If you start showing different angles to prove to the referee that he made a wrong decision, maybe then it’s no longer a clear and obvious error.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.

The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

I see so many anglophones misinformed on what's happening in Senegal. What happened today as Sonko being fired from his role as Prime minister, was very predictable but let's go back to the past 2 years.

On April 2nd , 2024, President Faye became President of Senegal, endorsed by PASTEF even though he wasn't the party's first choice. If Sonko had been legally allowed to run, Faye would almost certainly not be president today, Sonko would be. But Sonko was unqualified as he had a criminal conviction.

For Diomaye Faye to even win presidential elections, there was a famous campaign slogan "Diomaye mooy Sonko" ("Diomaye is Sonko") effectively telling voters: "If you want Sonko, vote for Faye." The voters completely bought into this logic, handing Faye a massive first-round victory purely on the back of Sonko’s political capital and popularity.

The partnership between President Faye and Sonko did not collapse overnight. Instead, it eroded over two years under the weight of an unworkable power dynamic, policy disagreements, and a battle for the political future of Senegal as they claim.

Three main issues led to what happened today:

1. Power dynamics: As time went on, Sonko continued to act like the true boss of the political movement in Senegal, publicly declaring that the presidency belonged to the party's collective vision rather than one man. Meanwhile, Faye naturally grew into his executive role, as the commander in chief.

2. The IMF Debt Conflict: The absolute breaking point was how to handle Senegal's severe economic crisis. When Faye's government took office, they discovered the previous regime had hidden billions in debt, causing the IMF to freeze a $1.8 billion loan program.

As a hardcore populist, Sonko rejected the IMF’s demands to restructure Senegal’s $13 billion debt and adopt austerity measures, terrifying international bond markets.

Facing a declining economy, Faye and his Finance Minister, Cheikh Diba, favored a pragmatic approach to appease international lenders and unfreeze the funds.

3. Domestic fuel prices: With national debt increasing each day, Finance Minister Diba warned that the country's massive energy subsidies were on track to overrun the budget by $2 billion. ​The Finance Ministry urgently requested a domestic fuel price hike to plug the budget gap and satisfy the IMF. Sonko flatly refused, blocking Faye's economic team and bringing governance to a standstill.

By late 2025 and early 2026, ​their rivalry had spilled into open political war as both men began preparing for upcoming elections.

In late 2025, Faye appointed a close ally, to lead his ruling coalition, deliberately bypassing Sonko’s loyalists to dilute PASTEF's control over his presidency. He then launched the Diomaye Président movement, aggressively building out a nationwide political machine loyal directly to him, not the party. Sonko retaliated by issuing an extraordinary public warning, stating that if Faye continued to diverge from the party’s original radical vision, PASTEF would withdraw from the government entirely and force Faye into a difficult cohabitation.

By May 2026, the relationship had completely deteriorated. In a televised address, Faye openly warned that the ruling party was on a path to collapse due to personal ambitions rather than the country ideals. He pointedly reminded the public that he held the sole constitutional right to dismiss his prime minister, stating: "The day I am no longer satisfied, I will put Senegal's interests first.

And today couple weeks into May, President Faye has just fired his Prime Minister.

It's about to be a long year for Senegal.

[Penuel The Black Pen @penuelist_]

When European colonizers realized that revolutions were getting stronger in Africa, they engineered Black liberation heroes to be their new colonial puppets.

The ones that didn't behave were killed. With no repercussions.

Same thing happened in South Africa. Nelson Mandela became a tool, Chris Hani & Steve Biko were killed. Robert Sobukwe was neutralized.

Colonialism didn't end. It just got dark-skinned managers to distract the masses. They use aide and social welfare to pacify & neutralize those who are angry.

The continent is still being looted like crazy. Africa is poorer than ever. Black puppet leaders are given big money to shut them up & get them to behave.

In places like Sudan & the DRC, puppet leaders are regularly summoned to the USA or Europe to negotiate fake peacetalks, while the looting continues unabated.

Where policies become too problematic, a rise of "illegal mining" occurs, with those artisanal miners still supplying the resources to the same big colonial mining bosses, via midpoints like the UAE.

It's a reminder that African kings sold most of the slaves, & gifted colonizers with lots of land. Europeans didn't kidnap most ppl into slavery. And most land wasn't fought for in the normal sense of conquest.

Africans do not have any real leaders. And when some do emerge, the nations get sanctioned, the leaders are erroneously labelled as tyrant dictators, or the leaders get assassinated.

Most Africans are mentally asleep. They are zombies. They just want booze, free houses, free healthcare, useless schooling, music, dance, football & to stay away from difficult conversations & hard work. They get very aggressive when you try to wake them up.

End.

Facts about men that don’t like birthdays:

- They are low maintenance

- They like being alone

- They’re used to making themselves happy

- They measure life in progress and not dates.

- They pour into others more than they receive.

- They don’t like drama.

[Penuel The Black Pen @penuelist_]

One of the great crimes of my time has been teaching people that politics & politicians are THE solution to their problems.

The real solutions are:
- educate yourself (not just school)
- acquire skills
- learn how to sell & make money
- take up fighting classes
- learn how to shoot & get guns
- study living off-grid
- read up on as much history, law, finance, engineering, medicine & farming as possible
- insulate yourself from governments & idiots

End.

Tanzania is holding an election today. Who do you think will win between these two?

[Africa Facts Zone @AfricaFactsZone]

Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu is running almost unopposed in today's election.

Major Opposition Candidates have been disqualified or jailed. Protests and Twitter have been banned.

Critics arrested.

[Charles Onyango-Obbo @cobbo3]

Tanzania is perhaps the only country in Africa - which holds elections of some sort - which has an explicit constitutional bar on challenging presidential election result: once the electoral commission declares a winner “no court of law shall have any jurisdiction to inquire into the election of that candidate.”
Cameroon does not use that exact bar but funnels presidential disputes to its Constitutional Council, whose decisions are final in practice.
Across the rest of voting Africa, constitutions typically provide some route for judicial review, though access, time limits and effectiveness vary widely in practice. Courts have, however, overturned results in notable cases (Kenya, Malawi).

Part 7

Sheria inasema mtuhumiwa akikataa kusign mahakama iseme kuwa amekataa kwa kuandika.

Sasa mimi sijasign sijaweka gumba na wala hakuna paliposema nilikataaa kusign. Mambo yamevuruga kiujumla jumla tu.

S. 266(6) of CPA.Inasema mtuhumiwa ana haki ya proceedings kupewa hizo nyaraka zote.

Mimi nilichopewa rekodi ya Ukonga hii ambayo nimeikatalia na hii nyingine mlinipa hapa jana.

Kwahiyo sheria ilitaka nipewe kule Kisutu. Sasa nililetewa nyaraka ya uongo na nyingine nimepewa hapa wakati nilitakiwa kupewa zamani kabla ya mambo ya huku juu.

Kwenye rekodi niliambiwa nina haki ya kuita mashahidi nikifika mahakama kuu.

Angalau hizi nyaraka nilizopewa zinasema hivyo.

S. 266(3) of CPA nilipaswa kupewa hati ya mashitaka na hiyo hati haionekani kila mahali.

Anaonesha manyaraka yote aliyonayo kuwa hati ya shitaka haipo kama sheria inavyosema.

Kwahiyo nataka kusema nini?

Yote ambayo nilipaswa kupewa sikupewa. Na sio tu sikupewa havipo kwenye nyaraka tulizonazo.

Sasa hii ilikuwa ni committal proceedings au ni kitu gani?

Kesi ya Dodoli Kapufi inasema hakimu wa mahakaama inayosikiliza committal proceedings, majaji wa mahakama ya rufani wanasema hakimu huyo hapaswi kujiamulia anavyotaka mambo hayo. Afuate kanuni na taratibu.

Mamlaka ya hawa mahakimu kwenye committal iko limited, haiwezi kuamua kwenye masuala ya kisheria.

Naomba nimalizie sasa.

Tunakwenda wapi kuanzia hapa.

On the basis of all what I have said hakukuwa na committal. Ni ujinga mtupu.

Hii mahakama haiwezi kuendelea kusikiliza kesi hii kama committal haikufuata utaratibu na haikuchukuliwa kwa mujibu wa sheria.

Naomba mahakama ifutilie mbali mwenendo mbali wa ile committal.

Na kama itawapendeza mtoe amri kwamba hakukuwa na committal na mfute kila kilichopo ili leo na mimi nikalale nyumbani kwangu baada ya kuwa nimeshikiliwa kwa siku zaidi ya 150 nalala magereza.

Tusiendeleee kuhangaishana na haya makaratasi waliyotupatia hawa watu wa jamhuri na namna ambavyo mahakama ya ukabidhi chini ya Hakimu Kiswaga ilivyotuharibia mambo.

"No minerals will leave Botswana unprocessed" ~ Botswana President Duma Gideon Boko joins the wole campaign spreading across Africa.

“No diamond will leave this country raw, all will be cut and polished here. No copper concentrate will be exported without local value addition,” he said.

This comes at the backdrop of emerging campaign sweeping through Africa. Prior to this date, countries across the continent export minerals at raw value, earning meagre returns.

However, some countries have started taking steps to nationalize their resources to benefit their citizens. Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger have already made bold statements and policies. Ghana is another example as the country has sacked many foreign corporations from its Gold market.

I'm surprised by how much hate object-oriented programming (OOP) gets. Just this week, I've heard several people call it "garbage" and "useless."

Well, those people are wrong.

There are only three situations where OOP is garbage:

1. When you use it incorrectly
2. When you use it but you shouldn't have
3. When you overuse it

There's a lot of great code written using the OOP paradigm.

There's a lot of great code written using the Functional Programming paradigm.

There's a lot of great code written using a Multi-paradigm approach.

Whenever you see a " is garbage post" and dig a bit deeper, you'll usually learn interesting things about the poster.
