For the @Spearhead_Af, I join @okorieuche_, @Big_Mck, and @DavidHundeyin in explaining why the recent $12m “investment” in Nigerian deftech startup Terra Industries (@terraindustries) by @PalantirTech co-founder @JTLonsdale is dangerous to Africa.

Africa Is One Market, But Not for Africans

Africa has been treated as one big market for foreign goods, but Africans have been discouraged from treating Africa as one market for ourselves. The same people who tell us continental trade is too complicated have no problem moving their own products across our borders.

They want access to Africa’s market, but they do not want Africa to trade freely with itself. Because an Africa that trades with itself is an Africa that becomes stronger, more independent, and less dependent on foreign imports.

So when you see foreign products everywhere across the continent, while African products remain trapped inside their own countries, understand what you are looking at. Dependency by design.

Isr*eli Intelligence Officer: “[Our] Next War Will Be Against Turkey And Egypt”

In this candid interview on Isr*eli network Arutz Sheva, US-born Isr*eli intelligence officer Jonathan Pollard unwittingly offers the audience a glimpse into the predatory calculus of the Western military/intelligence machine. Speaking with near psychopathic coldness about the g*nocide currently being perpetrated by the country he serves on the people of Palestine, and the US-Isr*eli war of aggression against Iran – through which Iran continues to emerge victorious, as Washington and occupied Jerusalem continue to be humiliated – Pollard goes on to suggest that Isr*el should begin preparing for its next unjust war, this time against Turkey and Egypt.

For those Africans in the back who continue to view the United States and Isr*el as allies who wish them well…

Egypt is an African country.

One which also happens to share a border with the last African country that a Western army invaded.

Benin’s New President Wadagni Visits AES To Mend Relations

Benin’s new President, Romuald Wadagni, has just paid a diplomatic visit to the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). President Wadagni visited AES capital cities Niamey and Ouagadougou on June 2, 2026, in a bid to mend his country’s relations with the confederation, which have been strained for over two years.

Wadagni took office on May 24, 2026, taking over from former Beninese President and staunch ally of France, Patrice Talon. What this historic visit by President Wadagni means for the future of West Africa, however, remains to be seen. Niamey has accused Benin of being a vassal of France, from which the Western country has trained and deployed t*rror groups in its quest to destabilize the AES, and regain control of its 3 wealthiest former West African colonies. And Benin remains friendly with France.

Recall that on December 9, 2025, French officials openly boasted about France’s “logistical support” of the governments of Benin and Nigeria in the thwarting of the attempted anti-imperialist coup which took place in the former country on December 7, 2025.

Since its formation in 2024, the AES has faced relentless attacks by Western-backed t*rrorists, economic isolation and sovereignty violations by Western-aligned African states, and endless slander from Western and Western-aligned media. Despite these externally-imposed challenges, its member states have continued to record economic and political wins.

Earlier today in Oyster Bay, Dar es Salaam, Joshua Maponga and I addressed a press conference concerning yesterday's Tanzania premiere of 'What Happened On October 29'.

Our message to the African press was simple - learn to be unapologetic about pursuing your African interests like everyone else is about theirs so, and stop eating out of the hands of CNN, BBC, DW, Al-Jazeera and their many friends across the western media landscape.

They are not your friends, their interests do not match with yours, they are not better journalists than you are, and they can never be better at telling your own story than you are!

What You Need To Know About Rwanda's Nuclear Deal With Russia

Rwanda's nuclear agreement with Russia is another sign that Africa is refusing to depend on Western powers and their exploitative systems for development. Across the continent, governments are building new partnerships with countries that can offer real value and support their own priorities.

For Rwanda, the deal opens the door to scientific research, skills training, nuclear medicine, and the development of local experts.

But the bigger story is Africa's growing determination to secure the technology, infrastructure, and knowledge it needs on its own terms. As global powers compete for influence, Africa now has more options, more bargaining power, and more room to choose its own future.

Lol, where have I seen this before?

[Eugene @ScienceDJX]

Rubio might not notice because he is distracted by the shoes Trump gave him that are several sizes too large for the little dude.

[Richard Medhurst @richimedhurst]

Literally half the problems on this planet can be traced back to the UK. Including the US and Israel. It's extraordinary.

Africa Is Not More Corrupt Than The West

Donald Trump’s presidency is a gift to Africa because, through him, Africans are learning in real time that corruption is not our inheritance.

Trump sued his own tax authority and awarded himself a $1.8 billion settlement simply because his business and personal tax returns leaked. This is the "leader" trusted with managing American taxpayers’ money.

This incident and more like this show that corruption is not an African problem. It is a global problem. The difference is that in the West, corruption is often better packaged, and hidden behind institutions, legal language, and respectable titles. The scale of it is so massive that Africa could spend a hundred years trying and still not come close.

Africans Can Finally Fly Directly To The Caribbean

The Transatlantic Slave Trade saw the kidnapping of some 12 and 20 million Africans from the Motherland by European criminals. Of those kidnapped, 20% would not survive the long voyage to the West, and of those who did survive, over 40% were sent to the Caribbean.

Now, centuries later, the people of Africa and their brothers and sisters in the Caribbean, separated for all those centuries, are entering a new era of reconnection, on their terms.

On May 24th, 2026, Nigerian airline Air Peace flew 200 African passengers directly to Barbados, officially kicking off this new era. Direct flights between Africa and the Caribbean have been years in the making, with Barbados, Nigeria and Ghana leading the charge. They come on the heels of several visa waivers between African and Caribbean nations, and at a time when Africans are calling louder than ever for free movement and trade between all African nations – including those beyond the Motherland’s shores.

U.S. Cell Towers Expose Washington’s Digital Hypocrisy

The United States plans to deploy 1,500 cell towers across Nigeria, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, and Ghana, claiming it wants to help connect off-grid communities and offer Africa an “alternative” to Chinese infrastructure.

But the same U.S. government warning Africa about “insecure” foreign infrastructure also operates under laws that compel American-linked tech companies to hand over data, even when that data is stored outside the United States.

The hypocrisy is clear.

U.S. AFRICOM Signals New Scramble for Africa

The United States is not hiding its desperate scramble for Africa’s mineral resources.

At a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on May 14, 2026, U.S. AFRICOM commander Gen. Gagvin R.M. Anderson described Africa’s resources, geography, and population as critical to U.S. national security. In the same breath, he framed the continent as the “epicenter of global t*rrorism.”

That language is not accidental.

By presenting Africa as both resource-rich and security-threatening, the U.S. is creating the excuse for a pr*datory empire to do what it does best - destabilize and extract.

Niger Takes Full Control Of Arlit Uranium Mine, Revokes French Company’s License

Niger has taken another bold step towards the full nationalization of its resources. On May 18th, 2026, the Nigerien government revoked a 58-year-old concession granted to France’s Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) on the country’s fabled Arlit mine. French mining company Orano had been siphoning uranium from this mine to power France’s nuclear reactors for over 50 years before it was suspended from operating in Niger by the administration of President Abdourahamane Tchiani in 2024.

With this latest move by Niamey, Niger, which has relied on neighboring Nigeria to meet the bulk of its energy demands for decades, is closer than ever to finally harnessing its own energy reserves for the benefit of its masses.

As a member of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Niger has faced relentless att@cks by Western-backed t*rrorists, 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, Mali 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 t£rror 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.

"Fools" as in puppets?

[Sentletse 🇿🇦🇷🇺🇵🇸🇱🇧 @Sentletse]

Kagame lost a lawsuit against the UK over £100 million cancelled asylum seekers agreement. He had agreed to take in asylum seekers that the UK did not want.

Ruto in Kenya had also agreed to host US ebola patients, in exchange for a small fee. Kenyans are now in the streets protesting against this rubbish. He had also previously agreed to hand Kenyans health data to the US.

We are led by fools in this continent.

How did one man hold power for eight years, preside over the disappearance of $12.4 billion, build Africa's most sophisticated system of political corruption, annul the freest election his country ever held, and retire to a mansion without ever being prosecuted?
