@iyoba4u@EthiopianMedias እንደኔ ትክከኛ ዉሳኔ ነዉ.The condo houses were built to aleviate the cronic housing problems of the poor people in Addis. Most Diaspora can afford to build / buy a house. As such, the House of Federation should be commended for correcting the wrong.
@jcokechukwu It's really sad and wicked for France to get Niger Republic's uranium at 0.8€ then sell at 200€, after which they will give aid to the government and make it seems like their life depends on it. You stole from people still insult them with crumbs.
NIGER RAISED PRIZE OF URANIUM FROM €0.80/kg to €200/kg: REINCARNATING LIBYA
SO, before being reliably informed that this actually happened, i had seen documents that clearly showed a previous regime in Niger signed contract for 5% royalty on uranium sales, which is absurd and in fact confirms or corroborates what the late Wagner PMC’s head, Prigozhin had said in a video. Remember the video where he claimed French companies were selling Uranium at €200 but giving only €11 to Niger. So that kinda made sense to me. But €200 vs €0.80??! I wasn’t prepared for that.
Meanwhile, Canada’s uranium is reportedly sold for €200/kg yet it’s okay for France to take Niger’s one and throw a miserable €0.80/kg at this blessed country.
For people who may not understand, what the Nigerien junta has done (if this is 100% true) is the same thing that Gaddafi did in Libya. After WW2, Libya was ceded to France and the UK. The UK favored the emergence of a monarchy (the Senussi dynasty) endorsed by the UN. Since it’s so called “independence” in 1951, this dynasty ruled the country under the monarchy of King Idris, on behalf of the British, of course! The British were milking the country dry. They made the monarchy the foot stool of the British monarchy, like what you have in Nigeria today (and I know many people don’t know this.) So, pretty much, every serious decision in government was approved by the monarchy before it was allowed. And because the Libyan monarchy was a criminal extension of the British monarchy and had been insanely corrupted, nothing was approved unless the British monarchy which sits atop the commonwealth of nations, had given the green light for its approval. So, as you can imagine, nothing was in there for the people of Libya. Nearly everything went to the colonials. Life expectancy dropped to the barest minimum. In fact, according to Meyssan, only 250,000 Libyans out of four million, could read and write at the time. That’s how abysmal the literacy rate was. Poverty index ratings placed Libya at the bottom and life was a living hell for them.
Well, when Gaddafi showed up and overthrew the Sennssi dynasty in 1969, those foreign forces that were entrenched in the country to steal the commonwealth of Libyans were sent packing and Gaddafi abolished all that nonsensical slavery monarchy. Gaddafi then went ahead to nationalize western oil companies like British Petroleum and co & created National Oil Corporation (NOC), thereby effectively nationalizing the oil wealth of Libyans. You nationalize when you start earning what you should earn directly and start using it on your country men and women rather than letting colonial Europe steal it and use it to pave their roads and build their “heavens on earth” while Africans live in the “stone age.”
When Gaddafi was done with them, the same Libya that was one of the poorest countries in the world in 1969 had become a regional economic powerhouse by 2011. The UNDP (2010) even considered Libya a “high-development” country in the Middle East and North Africa. Libya’s literacy rate jumped from a pitiable single unit to a whopping 88.4% and life expectancy hit an impressive 74.5 years! This is what can happen to any African nation that grows enough balls to demand what is due them and not what is allotted to them by greedy, parasitic colonial corporations.
If you wanna know the true cause of poverty in your country, go to the bureau of statistics or whatever agency is responsible in your country and demand details of how much royalty your country receives on its natural resources & please do well to share your findings with us.
Niger must be encouraged and supported at all costs, because with this price adjustment and given that they don’t have to depend on European or western buyers to sell their uranium, Niger will soon become another modern Libya in the Sahel. I feel it.
Africa will definitely win this.
outside the holiday season. The postponement request is seen by the opposition as a way of buying time to weaken their block. Residents told UMD Media about increased police presence in Mekelle since yesterday following the detention of other members of the three parties. 4/4
To the chagrin of these goons, and their Western sponsors, the resolute response of the Eritreans shows that these attacks are only strengthening the unity of Eritreans in the diaspora, and reaffirming the unbreakable bond between them and the homeland.

Birhanu Nega will no longer be politically relevant in Ethiopia. He was an expert in conspiracy and sabotage for many years, with a deep hatred for Amhara. Birhanu's political career is irredeemably eroded. Thanks to all those who kept exposing the real identity of this man! 🙇
The Brigade thought it was all fun and games until Tel Aviv riot police pulled up firing rubber bullets. 🤕
Son, your passport is from #Eritrea but it says here you were born in #Ethiopia. Are your from the Tigray region?
Son: Me no speak Hebrew 😆
It is about the importance of deep love, resilience, and unity during the hardships of war. That's the strength that comes from traditional values in society. Emphasizing the need to preserve these values as they are the foundation of a nation's existence and strength.
Russia is invisible.
Others are trying to figure out their gender.
The unfolding situation in Ukraine provides a stark reminder of the consequences when leadership, blinded by pride or external pressures, forgoes the path of dialogue and peace. The dismissal of Defense Minister Oleksil Reznikov amidst Russia's significant advancements paints a clear picture: Ukraine is in turmoil, and much of it can be attributed to the leadership's obstinacy.
The historical backdrop, going back to 2014 with the ousting of Yanukovich and the annexation of Crimea, adds layers of complexity to this war but it's one necessary to look back on to get a better context.
The current scenario is symbolic of President Zelensky's refusal to seek peace. Despite facing overwhelming challenges on the battlefield, with desertions and the obvious failure of the so-called counteroffensive, the Ukrainian leadership remains resistant to peace overtures. Zelensky refuses to listen to anyone, West or East that has adviced he should consider peace talk. For a man who's 100% reliant on others for funds to continue a losing war, it's comical when you listen to the arrogance.
Contrast this with Russia's approach. Even with an evident upper hand, Russia has consistently signaled its willingness for dialogue and peace talks. This gesture, often overlooked or downplayed by western narratives, speaks volumes about Russia's broader intentions: to find a resolution without further bloodshed.
The West's decision to send F-16 fighter jets and Russia's subsequent activation of the formidable "Satan 2" missiles underscores the escalating stakes. Yet, in this high-stakes game, Russia has consistently championed peace talks, while Ukraine, under Zelensky's leadership, has been reluctant, if not outright dismissive.
Historically, the West's dependency on resources from colonized territories, particularly Africa, and their dwindling influence there, further complicates the global landscape. Russia's understanding of these dynamics positions them at an advantage, advocating for nations seeking to reclaim their sovereignty. Clearly it's working, as you can see France is now completely distracted and wants to go fight another war in the Sahel region of Africa like trigger happy hillbillies.
Russia's strategy in Ukraine appears to be twofold: exert significant pressure but always keep the door open for dialogue. Ukraine's reluctance to walk through that door, even as they bleed in human and economic terms, is both tragic and puzzling.
As the situation intensifies, the world watches. Will Zelensky reconsider his stance, acknowledging the olive branch extended by Russia, or continue down a path that risks further devastation for his people? Time will tell, but the urgency for peace has never been more profound.
No one wins in a war, everyone involved loses one way or another, this is why this must end soon and peace has to reign.
Education is built on culture. That’s why Chinese kids are taught in Chinese, Arabian kids are taught in Arabic, British kids are taught in English. It’s only in Africa that our lives reflect other peoples culture.
Scary days ahead indeed. The strategic positioning of Russia's "Satan 2" sends a clear message of Russia's intent in the global arena. Even as the conflict with Ukraine remains unresolved, with no clear victor yet (This is debatable), Russia's determination and assertiveness are evident. Though not a definitive win, Russia's advantage in the conflict underscores a broader shift in global dynamics and challenges the West's traditional dominance. Trust me they dont like this at all.
The situation in Ukraine is reflective of the broader tussle between Russia and the West. While Russia seeks to protect its interests, the West, especially the U.S. and EU, aims to curtail Russia's expanding footprint. This geopolitical tug-of-war is not limited to Eastern Europe but also extends to Africa now unfortunately. I truly wish they could just have left The Motherland out of this whole drama.
In Africa, especially in countries like Niger, the West's influence, particularly that of France, is waning. Their inability to adapt to the changing dynamics and continued adherence to an old colonial mindset is causing them to lose ground. Russia, with its principles of non-interference and respect for national sovereignty, is emerging as a viable alternative for many African nations. The recent leadership changes in countries like Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso are a testament to this shift. These aren't mere coups but a reflection of Africa's yearning for genuine autonomy and leadership.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where Russia seems to have an upper hand, further shows the West's challenges. Their inability to decisively support Ukraine and counter Russia's advances is a stark reminder of this. You can tell they know they can't win the war for Ukraine the way they had planned it. The only cards left are ones that would most definitely provoke Russia and out of being desperate they don't seem to care.
It's crucial, however, to understand the gravity of Russia's potential response in these evolving scenarios. Russia's emphasis on its nuclear arsenal, especially with SATAN 2, should not be underestimated. There are several reasons for this:
Russia views its nuclear capability as a primary deterrent against Western aggression, ensuring its strategic interests are preserved.
The West's consistent expansion, especially NATO's eastward movement, has been a cause for concern for Russia. Its nuclear stance is a clear message to the West, highlighting its red lines.
Historically, Russia has maintained a policy of ambiguity about its nuclear threshold. This uncertainty is strategic, ensuring adversaries remain wary of pushing Russia into a corner.
We can all agree that the global landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. While Russia is asserting its influence, from Ukraine to Africa, the West is grappling with its diminishing clout. Africa's quest for self-determination is intertwined with these larger shifts. This definitely is a tricky situation for the Motherland.
As events unfold, one thing is clear: the days of unchallenged Western dominance are numbered, paving the way for a more equitable global order where every nation, irrespective of its size, can assert its voice. The West would be wise to recognize Russia's resolve and tread carefully.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION, Russia has now put its most powerful and dreadful Sarmat Intercontinental Ballistic missiles on standby, ready for combat.
SARMAT Intercontinental ballistic missile popularly known and referred to as “Satan 2” in the west, is capable of carrying at least 10 nuclear warheads. This is the much talked about missile that can reach virtually any state in the U.S. and is said to have the capacity to almost sink all of New York City or Texas in minutes. It is currently the most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile in the world. This is verifiable. And now, Russia has been provoked enough to actually activate and put these destroyers on standby. So what happened?
The truth is, they’re losing big in AFRICA, they don’t see any serious respite in the nearest future and they know Russia is largely to blame for their losses on the continent, especially in the Sahel region…and to make matters worse, the much talked about Ukrainian counteroffensive isn’t going as planned. Even Ukrainians themselves have admitted this fact. That’s why Ukrainians are starting to almost solely rely on Drone attacks on sensitive Russian locations inside Russia/Moscow.
In the last few days alone, drone attacks in Russia have become so daring that if care is not taken, more sensitive, unbearable red lines could be crossed. In fact, in one of the recent drone attacks, Russians even believe the drone attacks may have originated from Estonia, a former soviet country now a NATO member state. And as it stands, if a NATO member state is confirmed to have allowed drone strikes on Russia from its territory, that’s a declaration of war on Russia by all of NATO and the U.S. and Russia has made it clear that it’s response to a NATO/western attack on its territory will be nuclear. Period! They know this, but they keep crossing the so called Russian “red lines.” Don’t forget the F-16 jets that Russia forbade them to send to Ukraine. Today, F-16s are heading to Ukraine. So, whatever makes Russia mad and brings it into a direct conflict with NATO/the west is welcomed. This is the plan.
At least, if ECOWAS isn’t acting in AFRICA, if their military is caged and can’t do anything at the moment on the continent, the delays and inactivity will wear them out and eventually weaken their resolve, implying their loss on the continent is cast on the stone. So, the best thing is to start something on the Russian axis so a nuclear war is activated, which ripple effect eventually trickles down to AFRICA and pretty much everywhere on earth - and then they can easily seize the opportunity to descend on AFRICA and attempt a military recolonization exercise. Sadly, they can’t read the handwriting on the wall - whether a nuclear war breaks out or not, Africa’s freedom in this season is not negotiable. The people are more ready than the colonial west is willing to admit. For mother AFRICA, it’s truly “Freedom-O-Clock!” And I don’t see anything or anyone changing this.
Well the obvious France's tactics in Niger is truly now a desperate one, this is their last card. Harnessing an ambassador's obstinacy as a political tool? It's a blatant provocation, a classic colonial manoeuvre, isn't it? How can a representative of a nation, tasked with fostering diplomacy, be used to stir the pot of unrest? Well it was never about diplomacy, it was about superiority and conforming, it was about master and slave, it was about subjugation and dictatorship. They wouldn't try this in any European country or Arab nation no matter how sure of their side of the story was, in fact they would have called back the Ambassador within 12 hours of an incident.
Why is France so desperate to maintain its grip on Niger, even going as far as supporting such a blatant display of disrespect by its ambassador? Is this their strategy, hoping for an overreaction to justify military involvement? I'm sure by now you know exactly what the response to that question is.
If Niger takes the bait and forcefully removes the ambassador, that would play right into France's hands. It's evident that they're attempting to paint Niger into a corner, forcing them into a reaction that could be weaponized against them. At this stage they don't care if the motherland burns, they arent even smart enough to understand they consequences of their action will affect the entire globe. Remember, desperate people do stupid things.
Perhaps Niger could respond with a more nuanced approach, in addition to all that has been mentioned in the original post by J.C. they could initiate a global awareness campaign highlighting France's neo-colonial tactics. It's time to use brains, technology and all the tools ready available to make sure the motherland remains peaceful. Instead of direct confrontation, they must leverage international platforms to hold France accountable? Doesn't have to be the West, the world has other nations that are ready and willing to listen.
It's high time Africa united against these age-old tactics of manipulation. France's game is clear and obvious now, but Niger and Africa can rewrite the rules. What's next, France? Africa is watching, and so is the world. We stand for Peace.
