A leaked document has revealed that the European Union has begun collaborating with General Khalifa Haftar's forces in eastern Libya on migration control, raising fresh concerns among human rights advocates who have long documented the systematic abuse of migrants and refugees in the country's detention centers. The collaboration comes as reports from the UN and other international bodies have detailed a "brutal and normalized reality" of overcrowding, torture, and deaths in facilities that activists have described as "concentration camps," where detainees are held in conditions of extreme deprivation. Critics argue that EU cooperation with Libyan authorities—including Haftar's forces—amounts to complicity in ongoing human rights violations, with one observer warning that the new arrangement "will be worse than what is happening" in existing detention centers. #Africa #Libya

Algeria has delivered its first batch of locally manufactured gas and steam turbines to Iraq in a deal worth approximately $112 million.🇩🇿 The turbines were produced by General Electric Algeria Turbines (GEAT), a joint venture between Sonelgaz and GE Vernova (formerly General Electric). They are expected to increase Iraq's electricity generation capacity and support the modernisation of its power infrastructure. The shipment marks Algeria's first export of locally manufactured high-power gas and steam turbines, making it one of the few African countries exporting heavy power-generation equipment. #africa #Algeria

"AES Is Africa’s Testing Ground For Total Liberation Professor Franklin Nyamsi of the Mali War School calls on Africans to simultaneously wage intellectual, military and spiritual battles to liberate Africa from continued colonisation. He recommends that we go back to praying facing the centre of the continent, like our ancestors had done thousands of years ago, because land is sacred. Do you agree with the professor that the spiritual battle is critical? Drop us a comment.

Rwanda has announced that it will no longer source fuel through Kenya's government-to-government fuel importation model. #Rwanda has already informed local oil marketers of the transition, with OQ Trading, the Omani government's energy trading firm, expected to supply fuel under a direct arrangement with Kigali.

The move deals another blow to Kenya's G2G deal, which is still recovering from the loss of Uganda's transit fuel market after #Kampala adopted a similar government-to-government (G2G) model in 2023. Uganda's exit from the deal marked a dramatic turn after Kenyan authorities denied the Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) a licence to import fuel into Kenya outside the G2G arrangement.

The Ugandan government sued #Kenya at the East African Court of Justice before the matter was resolved. Rwanda currently imports most of its fuel through the Port of Dar es Salaam, while about 30% is supplied through Kenyan oil marketers.

Keynesian economics is the theory that during an economic slump, the government needs to step in and spend big to save the day.

Developed by John Maynard Keynes during the Great Depression, this doctrine argues that free markets don’t always self-correct quickly enough on their own.

When private spending drops and unemployment spikes, Keynesians believe the government must act as the “spender of last resort”—slashing taxes, lowering interest rates, and funding public projects to put cash directly into people’s pockets.

The goal is to boost aggregate demand, kickstart consumer spending, and pull the economy out of a recession. However, critics argue that this approach leads to massive national debt and long-term inflation. #economics #finance #macroeconomics #Development

13 countries,6,800 km and one shared vision. The African Atlantic Gas Pipeline (AAGP) has reached a major milestone. On 19 July 2026, ECOWAS Heads of State signed the Intergovernmental Agreement in Freetown, Sierra Leone, advancing one of Africa’s most ambitious energy infrastructure projects.

Initiated through the shared vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI of Morocco and the late President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, and advanced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the project aims to connect West Africa, the Sahel, Morocco, and Europe—strengthening energy security, regional integration, and long-term economic growth.

With engineering studies completed and the legal and commercial framework now established, the final agreement between Morocco and Mauritania is the next key milestone. #bridgeMorocco #AAGP #AfricaEnergy #ECOWAS #GAZODUC

Pan-Africanism did not fail because Africans lacked vision. It was repeatedly derailed by imperialist interests, foreign interference, coups, and the assassination of leaders who dared to imagine a united and independent Africa. Speaking at University of the Witwatersrand, Jeffrey Sachs argued that the conditions that once allowed outside powers to divide and destabilize the continent are no longer what they were in the era of leader such as martyred Congolese revolutionary Patrice Lumumba. Sachs pointed out that if Africa wants to transform its future, it must think and act at a continental scale. That means investing in the railways, ports, digital networks, and transport links that connect African economies. In addition to building world-class universities, training scientists and engineers, and developing the technologies and industries of the future on African soil. Sachs pointed to China’s rise as a lesson in long-term thinking. Over four decades, China invested relentlessly in its people, its infrastructure, and its capacity to innovate and in turn reaffirmed its sovereignty in international affairs and its future as a peoples.

#US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with #Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Thursday in the Philippines, where he was expected to renew the prospect of the U.S. trying to broker an end to the war in Ukraine.

Lavrov left the meeting an after about half an hour. Reporters asked him on the way out if Russia is targeting U.S. troops, if he agreed to continue any peace talks on Ukraine and if he was willing to accept a ceasefire, but he did not answer.

He was then asked again if Russia is helping Iran target U.S. troops. He stared back at the reporter and said: “Nice hairstyle.” 🎥: U.S. Network Pool

The Dark Science of Mass Manipulation The 1928 Book That Taught Elites How to Control Your Mind The Unapologetic Blueprint for Public Relations, Mind Control, and Social Engineering In this video breakdown, we open the foundational manual of modern public relations, advertising, and political messaging: Propaganda by Edward Bernays. Nephew to legendary psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, Bernays took his uncle’s theories on deep, unconscious human desires and weaponized them for business and politics.

Published in 1928, this book laid out an unapologetic defense of mass manipulation, arguing that an "invisible government" of elite influencers must shape the public mind to prevent social chaos. If you want to understand how breakfast became "the most important meal of the day," how politicians construct image over substance, or how modern marketing bypasses logic to trigger emotional spending, this video is your masterclass in media literacy.

The Core Mechanisms of Public Relations and Mind Control We deconstruct Bernays’s core frameworks into clear, eye-opening takeaways: 1. The Invisible Government: Discover Bernays’s controversial central thesis: the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an essential element of a democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism constitute an invisible power structure that dictates our tastes and ideas.

2. Bypassing Logic Through Psychology: Learn how Bernays stopped selling products based on their practical utility (e.g., selling cars for transportation) and started selling them as symbols of emotional identity (e.g., selling cars for status, masculinity, or freedom).
