Yesterday Commander El Arimiyaw Wusama was brutally beaten & arrested by @GhPoliceService D.O Adu & his fellow police officers in Kasoa for simply asking that an officer identify himself before searching him. He committed no crime. He is currently being held without charge…

REMEMBERING THE 1866 MEMPHIS MASSACRE

Today marks the 159th anniversary of the Memphis Massacre, a three-day outbreak of White supremacist violence that began on the afternoon of 1 May 1866, in Memphis, Tennessee.

The violence was sparked when local police attempted to disperse a gathering of Black Union soldiers and their families. They were gathered to celebrate their recent discharge and assert their new rights as free citizens. This type of public assembly was common in the Reconstruction-era South, where newly freed Blacks often used gatherings to organise politically, socially, and enjoy basic freedoms that had been denied under slavery.

The crowd refused to disband, and though the officers initially withdrew, one accidentally shot himself in the leg. This incident was falsely blamed on the Black soldiers, and panic quickly spread throughout the city with rumours of a planned Black uprising.

Within hours, a mob composed of White police officers, firemen and civilians formed and launched violent attacks in Black neighbourhoods. What began as aggression toward Black soldiers quickly escalated into a broader assault on the entire Black community. Over the course of three days, 46 Black residents were murdered, around 75 more were injured, and multiple Black women were r*ped. Black homes, schools and churches were looted, burned and destroyed. White Northerners - particularly missionaries and educators working in Black schools - were also attacked. Federal troops were ultimately required to bring the violence to an end.

The massacre had far-reaching national consequences. A Congressional committee, led by Radical Republicans, launched an investigation. The committee’s report singled out Irish-American police officers as key aggressors and pointed to tensions between Irish immigrants and Black workers competing for labour as a root cause. However, the investigation overlooked the role of other White Southerners in the violence and the broader resentment towards the empowerment of Black soldiers in post-Civil War Memphis.

No criminal charges were brought against the perpetrators.

MALEMA: WE ARE ALL TRAORÉ!

‘We are all Ibrahim Traoré’ - that’s the powerful message of solidarity with Burkina Faso’s revolutionary president sent out by Julius Malema, the leader of South Africa’s pan-Africanist Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party. It comes after Ouagadougou revealed it had thwarted another coup plot and the recent slander thrown at Traoré in the US Senate. Malema also denounced Washington’s efforts to destabilise Burkina Faso by insinuating its leadership was using gold reserves to pay for its own security.

Traoré - together with Asimi Goïta of Mali and Abdourahmane Tchiani of Niger - is spearheading a push for African sovereignty and unity. The trio have expelled French and US troops and are strengthening their political, economic, military and security ties through the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). Their actions have angered imperialist forces that aim to disrupt African unity and progress for their own gain.

In his speech, Malema also gave an honourable mention to China, highlighting Beijing's resistance to US tariffs as a model for other nations. China overtook the US in 2009 to become Africa’s biggest trading partner for the next 15 consecutive years, with over $295 billion traded in 2024.

Malema’s call for solidarity with the Sahel states comes amid significant global shifts, as imperialist powers seek to undermine the struggles of oppressed peoples, particularly in Africa. The momentum is shifting in our favour, and as Victor Hugo said, “No force on earth can stop an idea whose time has come”
