France Repeals Slavery Law Nearly 200 Years After Supposedly Abolishing Slavery
The Transatlantic Slave Trade saw the kidnapping of over 12 million Africans from the Motherland by European criminals. Of those kidnapped, 20% would not survive the voyage to the West, and of those who did survive, about 12% would be trafficked to France.
France officially abolished slavery in 1848, yet a curious piece of legislation from this supposedly bygone era, known as Code Noir, remained enshrined in French law until just this May, when it was repealed in a unanimous vote by France’s National Assembly.
Why did it take France 178 years to repeal a law which gave its European citizens legal license to buy, sell, beat, r*pe and murder Africans?
And why now?
Foreign Interference: Tanzania Blocks European Parliamentary Team From Visiting Country
In November 2022, China revamped its fabled Belt and Road Initiative – a win-win development initiative aimed at the Global South – in Tanzania. In December 2022, Tanzania signed a historic $2.2 billion railway deal with China to link the East African country’s port city, Dar es Salaam, to its neighbors, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda, as well as the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Many other deals would follow, each with the potential to transform Tanzania and the wider continent, economically and politically, for the better.
But there was one problem.
An African nation was suddenly fast-tracking its development, without the blessing of the West.
And so the West did what it did best. It funded an “opposition” movement in Tanzania, and deployed its media parrots to promote the members of this “opposition” as “defenders of human rights and democracy” fighting against a “repressive” government, and sensationalize this government’s necessary actions to thwart the attempted color revolution that would follow.
And even after this failed regime change plot, the West continues to do everything in its power to destroy Tanzania.
Israeli Surveillance Firm Signs Deal With “Anonymous” West African Country
On May 10, 2026, The Jerusalem Post reported that Israeli surveillance company Mer Group had just secured a $37 million dollar deal with an anonymous West African country. The company, which has its fingerprints all over Isr*el’s ongoing g*nocide in Gaza and its continued illegal occupation of the West Bank, reportedly already has contracts in Nigeria, Guinea and Togo. Yet none of these nations were identified as the new mystery client.
So which West African country are we to congratulate? And why would any African country choose to tie its security infrastructure with such a vicious and treacherous state as Isr*el at all, especially given the continent’s own history with this t*rror state?

@Spearhead_Af The funny thing is, most of the people there pretend to be high iq atheist. If it was religion parade like this the same people would come and be telling us how brainwashed believers are 😂. Yet here they are supporting their own form of religion !
Arsenal's Title Victory And The Emotional Colonization Of Africans
Why are so many Africans so passionate about non-African football teams winning a game thousands of miles away from the continent? Why is so much money, time and energy channeled towards the professional and personal lives of wealthy foreign athletes in a continent where anywhere between 40 and 50% of the entire population lives in multi-dimensional poverty?
What does this fact say about the priorities of the average African? And who ultimately benefits from this mass distraction?

The recurring Weija Dam dilemma once again highlights a critical gap in our national disaster preparedness.
Executive Director for the Africa Center for Security and Counterterrorism, Emmanuel Kotin, notes that responsible institutions are failing to take proactive measures, leaving communities vulnerable until tragedy strikes.

France's Soft-Power Pivot in Africa Has Begun
Macron’s announcement of MansA, a new African cultural center near the Eiffel Tower, may sound like recognition. But in today’s geopolitical climate, it is hard to separate this kind of cultural diplomacy from France’s desperate attempt to rebuild influence after its humiliating fallout with several postcolonial West African countries.
The real question is simple: who will this center actually serve?
Will it give real space to African artists, thinkers, and independent cultural institutions, or will it become another soft-power corridor where African elites, diplomats, ministers, business leaders, and foreign interests gather under the convenient language of “partnership”?
Extremist Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir flew an Israeli flag while chanting "The Temple Mount is in our hands," outside the Dome of the Rock, considered to be the third-holiest site in Islam.
Jewish supremacists seek to topple the mosque and rebuild the ancient Jewish temple on the site.
It came amidst an annual far-right march in Jerusalem, considered a holy city by the three Abrahamic faiths, where Israeli nationalists chanted “death to the Arabs” and “may your villages burn.”
Vladimir Putin: "Look at what the West is doing with their own people." "They're destroying the institution of family, their culture's historical identity, and various perversions with regard to children." "Pedophilia is accepted as the new norm."
We Were Trained By Foreign Instructors – JNIM Terrorist Who Participated In Mali Attacks
On April 25, 2026, the Malian Armed Forces (FAMa) foiled a series of coordinated terror attacks targeting several cities across the country, primarily the garrison towns of Kati, Kidal, Gao and Sevare. The Al-Qaeda-linked Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) and the so-called Azawad Liberation Forces (FLA) both claimed responsibility for these attacks, whose scale and orchestration suggested substantial external backing – Al-Qaeda has known links to the US government.
On April 28, 2026, Mali President Assimi Goïta addressed the nation, vowing to continue military operations until the forces of terror were expelled from the country.
In this video recorded by Russia’s @TheAfricaCorps, which has been a key ally to Mali in its fight against Western-backed terror, a JNIM terrorist who participated in the April 25 attacks admits to being trained by “foreign instructors” – which to those in the know, is simply code for France and Ukraine.
As a member of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Mali has faced relentless attacks by Western-backed terrorists, economic isolation and sovereignty violations by Western-aligned African states, and endless slander from Western and Western-aligned media. Despite these externally-imposed challenges, the country and its fellow AES members, Niger and Burkina Faso, have continued to record economic and political wins.
All 3 AES members have pointed to former colonizer France as a key sponsor of terror in the region – a claim which has been corroborated by their international allies – and France itself has made no bones about its intentions to revive its dwindling influence in Africa, and in so doing, shore up its presently crumbling economy.
