A Toronto black man tells black people to wake up and stop going to Dubai!

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

One hopes our Muslim West African brethren see what is happening in Sudan and finally take the hint that the past 1,000 years of history has been trying to give them.

There is no such thing as an "Ummah". Islamic unity is a myth and a fantasy. The UAE, a Muslim country, is committing a genocide against Black Muslim populations in Sudan, using weapons supplied from Turkey, also a Muslim country.

When push comes to shove, everyone remembers where they are from. The Arabs are Arabs first and foremost. The Turks are Turks first and foremost. You are an African, so you better learn to be an African first and foremost.

Get your head out of your ass and quit using emotional fantasies like the "Ummah" as a psychological crutch to deal with a harsh and unforgiving world. You are a Black African and that is all the world will ever see you as - it doesn't matter how Muslim or Arab-adjacent you are. It doesn't matter whether your great-great-great-great-great grandfather's sister came from Mecca - you are a Black African now.

Stop running away from yourself and accept reality.

It’s just news story after news story about the US and its allies terrorizing the world today.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been filming themselves committing horrific massacres in Sudan over the last couple of days, reportedly murdering some two thousand civilians. You can see the bloodstains on the ground in satellite images. As we discussed the other day, the RSF and its atrocities are backed by the UAE, a close partner of the United States.

Meanwhile Israel has committed another wave of massacres of its own throughout the Gaza Strip, reportedly killing 104 people in a single day, including 46 children. This is as many Palestinians as would typically be killed on any given day in Gaza prior to the so-called “ceasefire”.

CBS News’ 60 Minutes has released a cartoonishly blatant war propaganda piece on “Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela’s dictator” about how poor and unhappy the people of Venezuela are under their current government. The piece featured an interview with Republican Senator Rick Scott, who said that “If I was Maduro I’d head to Russia or China right now; his days are numbered.”

The US can make threats, impose sanctions and amass war machinery, but you don’t truly know they’re serious about attacking a country until they start churning out Pentagon propaganda in the mainstream press.

In the same interview, Scott also said that if Maduro is successfully ousted, “it’ll be the end of Cuba.”

“America is gonna take care of the southern hemisphere and make sure there’s freedom and democracy,” he added.

The senator’s statements suggest that the US is preparing a push in Latin America similar to what it has been executing with Israel in the middle east, eliminating any powers which refuse to bend the knee. South of the US border the top two disobedient governments are the socialist states of Venezuela and Cuba. In the middle east the US and Israel have spent the last two years bombing Iran and Yemen, securing a regime change in Syria, and doing everything they can to eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah in order to rule the region uncontested.

And of course we’ve still got the horrifying US proxy war in Ukraine, where soldiers continue to be dragged off against their will to fight in a nightmarish conflict that most Ukrainians now oppose, but which Zelensky is saying he intends to keep fighting for years against the will of the public. This whole miserable ordeal could have been avoided with a little diplomacy and a few low-cost concessions, but the western power alliance avoided off-ramp after off-ramp in order to ensure that Russia would get sucked into another costly military quagmire.

All over the world the US and its allies are murdering and abusing people in order to dominate the planet and ensure the survival of the capitalist system with which its power is intertwined. It is a giant murder machine feeding on human blood and the life force of our biosphere while providing nothing but obstacles to a healthy world.

The US-centralized empire is a disease that affects our entire species. We had better find a cure, and fast.

We should hold all outside actors in Sudan, on all sides to account, whether it's the UAE, Egypt, etc. But it's not just Arab states.

What the hell are UK arms doing in RSF militia hands? Why do western countries continue to fuel the arms trade that help fuel these conflicts?

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

Starmer, Sunak, Lammy, Cameron, Healey, Shapps

They all need to be indicted by ICC for ordering British participation in the Gaza genocide

We will not stop until it happens. The charge sheet is coming together👇

you guys were wondering what I’ve been up to 😉 I’m excited to finally share the first trailer for #Crime101 starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan and myself. Out February 13. Let me know your first thoughts. 👀

You forgot the most important bit.

The USA that issued the loan did not actually give your country anything. It merely printed some USD out of thin air (created a new credit entry on a computer) and allocated it to the "Nigeria" account at the New York Federal Reserve bank.

To repay that fake computer money and its interest, your country will then exchange actual resources with genuine value like oil, cobalt, gold, cocoa etc for the fake computer money, and then pay interest for the privilege. So the USA buys your real resources with fake numbers it created on a computer in New York, and then your government (which doesn't print USD) has to hope it can sell enough of your real ancestral resources to be able to earn the fake American computer credit that it needs to make its double digit interest payments.

And when your country obviously can't keep up with the payments, no worries - the helpful US government subdivisions called IMF and World Bank "advise" you to devalue your currency in exchange for "emergency financing," so that they can get even more of your real resources for even fewer of their fake computer numbers, which are now worth 1,500x your own currency. And since unlike them you don't have 800 foreign military bases that enable you just print more of your currency and offload the inflation burden to everyone else, you end up with a lot less money to spend on running your fucking country.

But that's not a problem, because the IMF helpfully creates a comprehensive Structural Adjustment Program for you to defund your education, healthcare, public infrastructure, and everything that might ever give your people hope of a better life. Those things are for el gringos in the Global North. Your country is in the Global South and is full of el negritos, so nothing for you senor. Oh and by the way, the "emergency financing" also carries its own separate double digit interest, so now you have even more debt than before and less money than ever to pay it off with.

So you have to damn near convert your entire country into an open pit mine just to be able to extract enough valuable raw materials to hopefully sell for fake American computer credits at a price they set for you, and you will use the pitiful income from this to make your interest payments while trying to run a semblance of a country, until you can't keep up with the payments again. Then the IMF sends you another PDF headlined "Structural Adjustment Program". Maybe this time you will need to give up the firstborn of every household in exchange for "emergency financing"...

Neocolonial capitalism - unquestionably the best system of economics that has ever been devised and will ever exist.*

🧵 A mega thread of all my informational tweets and infographics about Sudan. To understand how we got here, what’s happening, what actors are involved and what’s preventing it from stopping.

Just to have it all one one place, share to help someone learn about Sudan today!

ONE YEAR OLD. ONE. YEAR. OLD. Women and children are being hunted, starved and brutally raped in Sudan. They are being burned alive in their homes. Women are seeking various methods of contraception just to survive rampant sexual violence.
