Thabo Mbeki: Who Is Trying To Isolate South Africa From the Continent?

Former South African President Thabo Mbeki asks who exactly is trying to isolate South Africa from the rest of the continent.

From South Africans recently being booted from Malawi to Africans across the continent rooting for any country’s football team that played against South Africa in the 2026 World Cup, something is definitely off.

Have any ideas? Drop us a comment.

@aedcelectricity we haven’t had electricity in life camp (Olu Agabi close) for 3 days. Please what is the issue?

I understand why so many people still support Israel, including its genocide in Gaza. It’s all influenced by western Propaganda. I was once there too.

If the Palestinian farmer defends himself with deadly force, he will be hanged under Israel's new law.

If the Jewish terrorist pulls the trigger, he won't even be questioned by police.

This is what Zionists think we're too dumb to figure out.

The difference is by design.

His bank accounts were frozen. He is allowed 560 euros per month of his own money, though the bank will sometimes refuse even that. His crime? Reporting on Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Huseyin Dogru was born in Germany. Raised there. He is a German citizen. But Germany and the EU sanctioned him anyway.

To avoid giving him a trial, they listed him as Turkish in the official documents. EU citizens get a hearing, a court, the right to defend themselves. Non-EU citizens don't. So they erased his German citizenship on paper.

No trial. No conviction. No charge. 27 foreign ministers made the decision. No court oversight.

The EU itself admits sanctions target legal behavior: journalism they want to suppress.

He can't leave the country. Can't pay rent. Can't pay lawyers. Anyone who sends him money or food faces up to 5 years in prison for "circumventing sanctions."

A new German law extends sanctions to his family. Support to his wife, 7-year-old, or newborn twins can now be prosecuted.

His media outlet RED had half a billion views in 9 months covering Gaza and police repression in Berlin. That's what got him sanctioned. The publication was forced to close in May.

The 560 euros they allow him is now being cut because he's "paying invoices that are not considered basic needs."

Welcome to Western democracy.

Notice how none of them call it a CEASEFIRE VIOLATION?

That’s intentional, so genocide can continue under the guise of a ceasefire.

A year has passed since the detention of my father,
In this white coat, he walked alone amidst death, destruction, and in front of tanks—not because he was fearless, but because his oath and his humanity were greater than any fear. He refused to abandon the children and the wounded at Hospital , and for that, he was detained.
This image is a testament to the courage of the man who was the last line of defense for life, and it is the very same scene that ended with his unjust arrest.
A full year of injustice has passed. Today, we ask for nothing but his freedom. Please share his story to keep his voice alive.

Erdogan could recall Turkish ambassador to US in protest against US support for genocide. He did it to France over "Armenian genocide" law.

Bin Salman could do the same. He did it to Canada when they criticised his human rights record.

Bin Zayed could do the same. He did it to Lebanon over statements made by a minister on Yemen.

Egypt's military leaders could do the same. They did it to Algeria over tensions regarding a football match.

Bin Salman could suspend talks of $1 trillion investment in US with Trump in protest against genocide.

Bin Zayed could suspend talks of $25 billion investment in the US in protest against genocide.

Erdogan could cancel pursuit of new F-16s from US in protest against genocide.

Bin Zayed could expel Israeli ambassador from Abu Dhabi in protest against genocide.

Mohamed VI could expel Israeli ambassador from Rabat in protest against genocide.

Bin Salman could expel Israeli ambassador from Manama in protest against genocide.

Nigeria is sliding into a revenue crisis.

2025 Budget Summary
1. Spending: N49t
2. Revenue: N35t
3. Deficit: N13t
4. Nigeria will borrow N1.11t monthly

Key Issues
5. Revenue of N35t assumes 2.06mbpd oil sales at $75/barrel. Brent Crude peaked at $79.52 on Jan 21, 2025, but is now $65. Nigeria’s output hasn’t reached 1.9mbpd.
6. Revenue shortfall is likely, yet spending continues. @BudgITng revealed N6.93t in projects inserted into the 2025 budget.
7. A larger deficit will require borrowing beyond N13t, diverting funds from health and education to debt service.

Worse News
8. Russia-Ukraine peace talks and a potential Iran-US deal could drop oil prices to $55.

What Should Nigeria Do?
9. Control wasteful spending. The N6t for constituency projects is absurd and shows a lack of prudence. Nigerians pay taxes, yet the government wastes funds on "street lights" and "Hilux."

We can and should demand better.

Hamas: We will release all hostages to end the war

Media: Hamas rejects ceasefire

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This is actually an extraordinary admission to make for a US Vice President https://t.co/VXRNYuVFdc

Vance explains that "the idea of globalization was that rich countries would move further up the value chain while the poor countries made the simpler things."

But he laments that it didn't quite work out this way: as he explains it turns out that poor countries (mostly China) didn't want to just remain cheap labor forever and started moving up the value chain themselves. Which is why, according to him, globalization was a failure.

Meaning that the objective of globalization wasn't to reduce global inequalities but very much to maintain them, to institute a system of permanent economic hierarchy where rich countries would maintain their hold over the most profitable sectors while relegating poor countries to perpetual subordination in lower-value production.

This is basically all you need to know to explain 90% of U.S. foreign policy these past few years: colonial thinking is alive and well, and America's shift of strategy in recent years - away from the previous "Washington Consensus" of "free" markets towards a much more overt attempt to contain and restrict China's development - stems precisely from this mindset.

From semiconductor export controls to investment restrictions, these policies aren't about 'national security' in any genuine sense - they're about trying to preserve a global economic order where, simply put, poorer nations know their assigned place and stay there. At the very core, that's the "China threat": a China that stepped out of the economic lane assigned to it by the West.

It's deeply ironic when you think of it: a global game allegedly designed to "spread market principles" worldwide is being abandoned precisely because it worked too well. When China succeeded better than expected, the response wasn't to celebrate the validation of the game's effectiveness but to change its rules. Precisely because the real unspoken game - but now clearly stated by the U.S. Vice President - was to maintain global inequality, not eliminate it.

All in all, in case they hadn't yet gotten the memo, this sends a very clear message to the developing world: economic development will require challenging a U.S.-dominated economic order that views their advancement as a threat rather than a success. Which incidentally is why Vance's words might actually help accelerate the very redistribution of global economic power he laments, pushing more nations to recognize that genuine development requires strategic independence from a system intended to keep them in their place.

Just look at the difference. Russia wipes out Ukrainian family, Palestinians mysteriously lose their family.

.@BBCWorld repeatedly leaves ISRAEL out of the headline—to avoid its culpability—by design, not accident.

The horrific story of the four year old whose limbs were broken by an Israeli commander underscores what is now really clear. The West's performed hyper-attention to children is only for white children--the only ones allowed to have childhood or innocence. This means really that

Mike Casey, a US diplomat working on Gaza and Iraq War veteran, has resigned. “The more informed you become on this issue, you can’t avoid realizing how bad it is." And: "We don’t have a policy on Palestine. We just do what the Israelis want us to do.” https://t.co/R4TUUPfHwc

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Israeli-American historian Omer Bartov, the world's leading authority on genocide and Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, on what's happening in North Gaza: https://t.co/iiRLlcTc5i

“This is a plan sketched out by retired General Giora Eiland, which has been discussed for months now in the Israeli media, to empty that region of civilians through military pressure and starvation … This is a first step toward annexing the Strip north of the Netzarim Corridor, which will lead to its settlement by Jews and will itself be only the first phase in the gradual takeover of increasing portions of the Strip, squeezing civilians into ever shrinking areas and eventually either forcing them out of the Strip or causing ever larger numbers of them die. In short, this is a genocidal plan.”

He believes that the current operation in North Gaza alone meets the definition of genocide: “it is possible that the ICJ will find this operation to be genocide even if it hedges on the war in Gaza as a whole.”
