Despite spending time in Belgium and later France under quarantine and medical screening measures to ensure they had not contracted Ebola, not a single DR Congo supporter traveling from Kinshasa was granted a U.S. visa for the World Cup. Among them was Michel Nkuka Mboladinga, better known as “Lumumba,” an iconic Leopards supporter who became one of the most recognizable faces of AFCON 2025.

Since the start of this tournament, we have been witnessing clear bias against African countries embedded in visa and immigration systems.

🚨BREAKING: Didier Drogba says if the USA didn't want other Countries citizens in the US they shouldn't have bid for the Fifa world cup 2026 and says denial of Iran supporters and Somali referee Omar Artan is totally unacceptable, Football should be separated from politics

"When a country bids to host the biggest football tournament on the planet, it knows exactly what comes with it. Players, referees, officials and supporters from every corner of the world are part of the package."

"I look at the situation involving Somali referee Omar Artan and I feel disappointed for him. FIFA selected him because he earned that opportunity on merit, yet he was unable to participate after being denied entry."

"Then you hear about Iran's football federation claiming that its supporter ticket allocation was withdrawn just days before the tournament. If true, that leaves ordinary fans paying the price for issues that have nothing to do with football."

"The people suffering are not politicians. They're supporters who save money for years hoping to follow their national team at a World Cup."

"Football has always been one of the few things capable of bringing different cultures together. The moment politics starts deciding who gets to be part of that experience, everyone loses."

"I played in World Cups and international tournaments. The beauty of those events is seeing supporters from dozens of countries sharing the same streets, the same stadiums and the same passion."

"No fan should be judged because of their nationality, and no referee should miss the biggest moment of his career because of political circumstances beyond his control."

"FIFA, governments and football authorities need to find solutions because the headlines right now are about visas, travel restrictions and disputes instead of the football itself."

"The World Cup should belong to the world. That's what makes it special. The game must always come first, and politics should never be allowed to overshadow football's greatest celebration."

Last year, the US government said some African governments refused to participate in its forced deportation programme for illegal migrants. Ghana volunteered to collect them and help dump them.
In 2022, the British government decided it no longer wished to host asylum seekers on its own territory and needed somewhere to offload them. Rwanda raised its hand.
In 2016, the United States decided it could not keep certain Guantanamo Bay prisoners in its own facilities. Ghana openly agreed to receive them on African soil.
And now the United States has decided it cannot repatriate its own Ebola patients to its own vastly superior medical infrastructure. Kenya has offered to build them a treatment centre.

Every time a Western government identifies something it considers too dangerous, too embarrassing, too legally complicated or too politically inconvenient to keep on its own territory, there is always an African government somewhere ready to collect it.

Deportees, asylum seekers, terror suspects, infectious disease patients. The willingness of certain African leaders to position their countries as the world’s surrogate waste management service, in exchange for whatever diplomatic or financial token has no visible floor.

There will always be morally bankrupt opportunists in government who will not look at the safety of their people, the dignity of their flag or the solidarity owed to the oppressed, and will instead compete to be the most useful to the powerful.

After 60 years of French colonial rule, there is nothing to speak for in the AES countries. In the short 3 year they have had sovereignty, these 3 countries have done more for the betterment of their people than France ever did in 6 decades.

*Most people don’t remember this day.*

POWERFUL AFRICA
On September 23, 2009, Muammar Gaddafi walked into the most guarded chamber on Earth — not to seek approval, but to confront power itself.

In a hall filled with presidents, kings, diplomats, and the architects of global order, he did the unthinkable: he tore pages of the UN Charter before the world.

It was not madness.
It was rebellion.
It was an African leader refusing to kneel.

As the torn pages fell, so did the illusion that the international system treats all nations equally. Behind him sat the guardians of the establishment, watching in disbelief as one man exposed what many nations had suffered in silence for decades.

Gaddafi called out the hypocrisy of the UN Security Council — a system where five powerful nations hold permanent authority over the destiny of the rest of humanity. A world where some countries decide which wars are “legal,” which nations deserve sanctions, and which people are allowed to suffer in silence.

They gave him 15 minutes to speak.
He spoke for more than 100.

Because truth does not ask permission from empire.

He spoke for Africa.
For nations looted for centuries.
For countries forced to obey rules they never helped create.
For a continent rich in resources, yet denied real power at the global table.

He reminded the world that the UN Charter was written in 1945 — when much of Africa was still under colonial rule. The rules were drafted without African voices, yet Africa is expected to live under them forever.

Fifty-four African nations.
Over 1.4 billion people.
Zero veto power.

Africa can speak in the General Assembly, but it cannot stop decisions imposed by the powerful few. One veto from a permanent member can silence the collective voice of an entire continent.

And that was Gaddafi’s real crime:
Not corruption.
Not dictatorship.
But defiance.

The global system does not fear weapons as much as it fears leaders who refuse to bow.

For decades, Africa has demanded reform through the Ezulwini Consensus — calling for permanent African representation and equal veto power on the Security Council. Yet the gates of power remain closed.

The world calls it “international order.”
But many Africans still see the shadows of colonial hierarchy wearing modern suits.

Whether one agreed with Gaddafi or not, one truth remains undeniable:
On that day, an African leader stood before the world and said what many nations were too afraid to say.

RULES ARE RULES.
AFRICA MUST RISE, UNITE, AND DECIDE ITS OWN DESTINY.

An Italian architect looked at a Ghanaian palm tree and designed an office building around what he saw.

One Airport Square. Airport City, Accra, Ghana. Mario Cucinella Architects. 2015. 17,000 m².

The diamond-patterned concrete shell wrapping the building is modelled on palm bark. Those inclined columns are sunshades, blocking the direct solar radiation that hits Accra’s east and west facades for most of the year. Behind them sits the glass. Protected. Not fighting the sun. Working with it.

The result?… 30% less energy consumed than every comparable office building in Accra. Rainwater harvested. Greywater reused. Natural ventilation pulled through a central atrium by stack effect. Cool air delivered through raised floors.

First building in Ghana and the first commercial building in West Africa to receive a Green Star rating.

The solution was growing outside the whole time.

OUR MINERALS ARE NOT FOR SALE🚨🚨🚨

Zambia has just sent a powerful message to the West. Foreign Minister Mulambo Haimbe has rejected a $2 billion health deal from America. Why? Because the U.S. wanted to tie healthcare money to Zambia’s critical minerals and demanded access to private health data of Zambian citizens.

Haimbe called this move unacceptable and unconscionable. For too long, aid has been used as a leash to pull Africa wherever the big powers want. They think because we need hospitals, they can take our copper and our privacy for free. Zambia is saying that our health and our resources are two different things, and they are not for trade.

This is what real sovereignty looks like. We are tired of "gifts" that come with hidden chains. If you want our minerals, pay the fair price. If you want to help with health, do it with respect. Africa is finally waking up and realizing that we have what the world needs, and we don't have to beg anymore.

Are you proud to see an African nation stand its ground against a superpower? How many more countries need to say no before the world finally respects us?

Julius Malema has condemned xenophobic violence in South Africa, saying it unfairly targets fellow Africans for economic challenges.

He argues that such divisions distract from deeper issues such as inequality and the legacy of colonialism.

Malema links the situation to tactics used during apartheid to divide people and divert attention from real struggles.

He calls for unity and urges a focus on structural problems rather than blaming other Africans.

China built a $20 billion oil refinery in Nigeria, and Europe is furious.

Nigeria, one of Africa's largest oil producers, had no refinery. For decades, it exported crude and imported gasoline at markup. China's Dangote Oil Refinery in Lagos changed that. Now Nigeria is exporting refined gasoline instead of just raw crude.

The refinery is operating at 94% of its 650,000-barrel-per-day capacity, meeting domestic demand with surplus shipped abroad. In March, Nigeria exported approximately 44,000 barrels of gasoline per day. A single shipment of 317,000 barrels reached Mozambique—the first delivery to East Africa.

Production is projected to reach 1.4 million barrels per day within three years, making it Africa's largest refinery.

For decades, Western oil majors kept Nigeria dependent while extracting crude, refining it abroad, and selling it back at a premium. China built the infrastructure Europe refused to. Now Nigeria controls its own energy supply chain, and European refiners are losing a captive market.

This is what economic sovereignty looks like. This shouldn’t surprise any of our subs, we covered this story back in November on DD Geopolitics.

🇨🇴🇦🇷 Gustavo Petro asks the question the West does not want answered.

"If Argentina is an exporter of quality meat, why can't Argentinians eat quality meat and are stuck eating donkey meat?"

That is not just a question about Argentina. That is a question about the entire Global South.

Countries rich in resources. Oil. Gold. Lithium. Cocoa. Coffee. Beef. Yet their own people cannot afford what they produce.

Argentina exports premium beef to Europe and China. Argentinians eat donkey meat.

Nigeria exports oil. Nigerians queue for hours for subsidized fuel.

DRC exports cobalt. Congolese miners live on less than $2 a day.

Ghana exports cocoa. Ghanaian children have never tasted quality chocolate.

The system is designed to extract, not to feed. Produce for the West. Starve at home.

Petro is right. This cannot happen in Colombia. And it should not happen anywhere in Africa or the Global South.

The question is not why Argentinians eat donkey meat. The question is who profits from that arrangement.

It's time to change the answer.

Remember when France 🇫🇷 was transporting Burkina Faso military uniforms into their embassy in Niger 🇳🇪 and were caught ? So, if you are wondering how thousands of terrorists were all dressed up like Malian soldiers in last Saturday’s attacks, there you have your answer. And the fact that in the past, all our uniforms were made by France 🇫🇷, look no further!
