🚨 BREAKING: Horrific moments as an Israeli strike hit a tent crowded with displaced families in the heart of Gaza City, causing casualties and widespread panic among civilians.
Few points on the announcement of a US-Iran deal:
- Image of US power significantly diminished. Washington could not bring Iran to heel, could not open the Hormuz Strait, could not push Saudi into war, could not impose normalisation with Israel, could not protect its allies against cheaper Iranian missiles despite its more expensive technology, could not get NATO to join the war, could not get Europe to join the war, could not convince China to pull away from Iran, and could not stop Gulf states privately negotiating with Iran to exclude themselves from Iran's list of targets.
- Israel overreached and failed. It successfully dragged US to war with Iran, but failed to achieve any strategic aim. No regime change, no Arab-Israeli coalition, no newly annexed territories, publicly slapped down by Trump after attacking Beirut, forced kicking and screaming into a deal it adamantly opposed, and now faces a US public opinion that squarely blames Tel Aviv for dragging America into a war there was no need to fight with potentially generational political consequences for the US-Israeli relationship (Israel cannot fight any war without US funds, troops, weapons, and diplomatic cover).
- Saudi Arabia vindicated. Refused to be dragged into conflict, resisted UAE campaign to get Arab states to join Israel's attack, resisted pressure from Trump to normalise in exchange for security, deepened coordination with Pakistan and Turkiye over integrating supply chains and routes, and successfully negotiated its own de-escalation with Iran.
- Turkiye's Erdogan staves off Israeli attempts to use the war with Iran to drive a wedge between him and Trump as the latter instead asserts their personal friendship, thanks him publicly for helping to bring the deal, and affirms his belief in Turkiye as a stabilising force by promoting Tom Barrack (who the Israelis deeply resent for his alleged partiality and positive view of Ankara).
Rich Ghanaian parents pay $18,000 a year at DPS International. $16,000 at Tema International School. Why?
Because their kids do the IB Diploma. SATs. Strong English. Strong essays. So they go straight to Harvard, MIT, Yale, Cornell on full scholarships.
Meanwhile, a brilliant kid in Kasoa, Tamale, or Ho is doing WASSCE thinking the best he can hope for is Legon or KNUST.
Same brain. Different information.
The rich kids aren’t smarter than you. They just had parents who knew the game.
Here’s the truth nobody tells you:
You don’t need DPS. You don’t need TIS. You don’t need rich parents.
I sold sachet water in Ghana. I went to Berea College on a full scholarship. Now I’m a software engineer in Dallas.
My friends from humble homes did it too. From WASSCE straight to top US universities. Full ride.
The system was hidden from us. Not from them.

So the 1M Coders program that Sam George took 100,000,000 GHC for was just to refer people to Coursera. It’s like someone taking money just to tell you, “Go to this website to learn how to code.” Sam George could have simply used his platform to announce for people to go there without asking the government for 100M, just like many tech guys always use their platforms to do. Instead, he should make data prices more affordable and internet speeds faster for people to learn from home. Isn’t this as simple as ABC?
@ManCity@PepTeam You deserve every happiness. Much love, Pep.
This club must also stop collaborating with the Emirati regime. I hope you will challenge it.
This is very innovative. @RasheedAbueideh is using video gaming to tell the story of the Nakba and the memories that Israel seeks to erase.

The world stands at the cusp of a new order.
As President Xi said “The transformation unseen in a century is accelerating across the globe,” and I emphasize that the Iranian nation’s 70-day resistance has accelerated this transformation.
The future belongs to the Global South.
