Lake Kariba. In 2023 Zambians were chased from an island to make place for Zamfresh, a Chinese owned company, to setup a fish farm.
Do foreigners have a better lobby then the own citizens?
Stop whatever you're doing and listen carefully:
AFRICOM has announced the launch of a new psychological operation meant to influence Africans towards US interests by deploying a US army cyber unit to impersonate Africans online.
Its name "Drongo" comes from the African bird that mimics other animals so that it can steal their food.
That account trying to gaslight you on Twitter with "Traoré is a brutal dictator", "The worst democracy is better than the best dictatorship", and "Stop blaming white people and hold your leaders accountable" may just be an American soldier carrying out his mission.
Use your discernment on the internet!
A European Ambassador Has No Right To Lecture Ghana
In a blatant display of diplomatic overreach, outgoing Swiss Ambassador Simone Giger has attempted to lecture Ghana on its own governance. By publicly criticizing the centralization of power within the Ghanaian presidency, Giger has overstepped her role and insulted the nation's sovereignty. It is time to end the cycle of Western diplomats dictating how African countries should be run; Ghana’s constitutional and political matters belong to Ghanaians alone.
China just unveiled an AI blackboard at their World AI Conference. Kids learning to build with AI in real time.
Meanwhile American schools are still debating whether students should be allowed to touch it.
One country is training builders. The other is training hiders.
Come back in ten years and tell me which approach produced better engineers.
Sudan’s Identity Crisis Benefits Colonial Powers and Complicit Local Elites
Sudanese artist Tarek Abdelkhalig says Sudanese being confused about their true identity as Africans allows local elites and foreign powers to provoke war to exploit their lands. This has led to 8.8 million people remaining internally displaced since 2023.
Do you agree with Tarek? Drop us a comment.

@OtitoNosike I mean, colonization "ended 50 years ago" and has no impact on the state of Africa, so much so that the US, France, Israel, UK, etc not only assassinated Pan Africanists, but replaced them with puppets so old they older than the atomic bomb!
Do you know there’s something called “destabilization campaign,” usually used by foreign intelligence agencies like the CIA, against governments that oppose U.S. political and economic interests?
Let me know if you find any of these methods familiar 😉
1. Propaganda and Disinformation: Funding and managing media networks, planting stories, and running psychological operations (PSYOPs) to sway public opinion against the sitting government.
Say me hi to your media houses.
2. Economic Sabotage: Restricting international loans, orchestrating boycotts, and inducing labor strikes to cripple the target nation's economy and create domestic unrest.
3. Political Interference: Funding, training, and organizing opposition political parties, anti-government student movements, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
4. Paramilitary Operations: Equipping, financing, and advising militant factions, insurgents, or sympathetic military leaders to execute regime change.
Yea, the CIA claims they’re no longer into regime change operations so it might just be coincidence that some of the above listed operations have been seen in certain countries recently.

Democracy isn’t just voting every 5 years. It’s also about tolerating alternative views & ideas of others. The current trend of describing those with alternative views as dull, clowns, uneducated, fools, backwards, etc, is very undemocratic. Anyway we are all still learning.
Everything here is designed to facilitate smooth passage of raw minerals out of Zambia. The greatest value of this corridor is out there after value addition. It’s peanuts as usual for the source. Will we ever learn?

The white working class can defend capitalism because, no matter how bad it gets for them, their government can STEAL from the global south, particularly from Africa, to afford some social welfare programs to give them just about enough comfort to keep them from revolting,
You, as a working class African, why exactly are you defending capitalism?
