ABD'li dünyaca ünlü rapçi Kendrick Lamar:
"Donald Trump, korku ve ayrıştırma üzerine kurulu bir ülke yöneten, demokratik değerleri ayaklar altına alan bir narsisttir; ya eşitlikten ve gerçeklerden yana olursunuz ya da bu nefret ikliminin bir parçası."

The fact that Cuban electrical workers accomplished this in such short time is a testament to the tenacity, and ingenuity of our people.

KWAME TURE ON AFRICAN WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP IN STRUGGLE
In this clip, All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (@aaprp on X) co-founder Kwame Ture (1941-98) reminds us that African women have consistently stood on the frontlines of resistance and leadership, both on the continent and in the diaspora.
For instance, Queen Amanirenas of Kush resisted Roman expansion by fighting Julius Caesar's army in 30 BC. Much later, in the 17th century, Angola’s Queen Nzinga Mbande (1583-1663) waged a war against Portuguese settler colonialists. In Ghana, Yaa Asantewaa (circa 1840-1921) led the resistance against the British. Meanwhile, the Dahomey Amazons, an all-female regiment in Benin, fiercely defended their kingdom.
By the same token, modern women have also questioned and stood up to oppressive powers. In the United States, for example, 77-year-old Black Liberation Army member Assata Shakur and civil rights activist Rosa Parks (1913-2005) played immeasurable roles in fighting for the rights of Black people against white supremacy. Meanwhile, 75-year-old Malawian human rights activist Joyce Banda and Kenyan environmentalist Wangari Maathai (1940-2011) shattered gender barriers, empowering many communities.
Throughout history, African women have indeed been at the forefront of our people’s fight for liberation, as Ture said, whether on the continent or beyond. Their continued contributions to the struggle must be recognised and valued.
As the new year begins, this week's Wednesday wisdom from Pan-African thinker, revolutionary and All-African People's Revolutionary Party (@aaprp on X) co-founder Kwame Ture (1941-98), offers a timely reminder that 'liberation' is the word of our people, not 'peace,' as injustice can exist, even with the absence of chaos.
Claudia Jones was a revolutionary feminist, communist, internationalist, and radical thinker whose legacy continues to influence the fight for global African liberation. Jones championed African women and made no secret of her lifelong mantra: no peace can be obtained if any women, especially those who are oppressed and impoverished, are left out of the conversation. Jones spent the rest of her life fighting against capitalism, corruption, and theorizing the triple oppression faced by working class colonized women
