RUTO & BUSH: GOOD FOR THE ‘SOLE’!
William Ruto may rarely put himself in the shoes of his own people (judging by the harsh policies he’s tried to inflict on them during a cost-of-living crisis) but the out-of-touch Kenyan president was given a chance to do just that recently. During one of his public speeches, a member of the crowd flung a shoe at the flashy leader with a penchant for expensive outfits and VIP travel. The message ought to be loud and clear even to someone as tone deaf as Ruto. Like many so many before him, Ruto has become a middleman for empire, smiling for photo ops abroad while imposing suffering at home. And as history shows us, when the people have had enough, they don’t need fancy methods or expensive campaigns. Sometimes, a shoe is all it takes to shake the powerful.

Continued…….. And the incident’s put him in someone else’s shoes too: recall that in 2008 George W. Bush was ambushed by an Iraqi journalist, who flung two shoes at the US president in protest over Washington’s invasion of his country. If only they’d both gotten the boot instead!

Shoe thrown at President Ruto: Kenya government condemns 'shameful' incident
The footwear hit the president on his outstretched arm as spoke at a public rally.
👍6🤣5🫡2
In an act that many have denounced as both racist and misogynistic, the Dominican Republic recently embarked on a mass deportation campaign of pregnant Haitian women, new mothers and even their newborn children directly from public hospitals.
The move is part of Dominican President Luis Abinader’s efforts to rid his country of Haitian migrants from the eastern part of the island of Hispañola to the western half that Haiti occupies. He stated that the Dominican Republic’s ‘generosity will not be exploited.’ But the reality is far more sinister: It is a state-led campaign to erase Haitians’ presence, targeting the most vulnerable.
Over 180,000 Haitians have been deported in just six months, often without due process, and many were born and raised in the Dominican Republic. These actions are not isolated, as they are part of a long thread of anti-Haitian repression, from the 1937 Parsley Massacre to present-day xenophobic policies.

Continued……. Haitians are not fleeing their homeland by choice. They are escaping the wreckage created by centuries of white supremacy, capitalist extraction and foreign domination since Haiti’s 1804 revolution that ousted French enslavers. Western interventions have created an unstable society that many Haitians have been trying to escape.
However, instead of solidarity from the Dominican Republic, they are met with raids and forced removals.

BLACK FACES IN HIGH PLACES
WON'T SAVE US
For a long time, many Black people were under the illusion that more representation in positions of power would result in a more equitable society. Yet, year in, year out, we see Black people ascending to powerful positions only to become champions of the very values - or lack thereof - that the status quo represents.
Today, we bring back this powerful moment from April 2024 when professor Ruha Benjamin challenged this notion in a speech delivered at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. Her message was simple yet poignant: ‘Black faces in high places are not gonna save us.’ That is, we shouldn't expect our rights to be defended by fellow Black people simply because they hold professional, political or economic power.
Her words are highly relevant following the unfounded accusations flung by the head of US Africa Command (AFRICOM), General Michael E. Langley, at Burkina Faso's revolutionary President Ibrahim Traoré.

Continued…….. Langley - just like former US President Barack Obama, who oversaw US military operations across the African continent - is simply an imperial mouthpiece. Faces and voices like theirs are used to advance Western interests and maintain systems of global exploitation, as well as the US military-industrial complex, all under the illusion of inclusion.
Somalia and Libya have already been on the receiving end of US power. Today, Washington appears to be circling round West Africa - poised to pounce on an African leader who has dared to stand up against the West. And laying the groundwork for that, is a Black face in a high place: General Langley.

RACIST MOM RAKES IN OVER $600K
Hitting the jackpot in the US is all too easy if you are a racist white person under the spotlight for hate speech, or worse.
Such is the case for Shiloh Hendricks, who unleashed a racist tirade, calling a 5-year-old Somali child and a Somali man the N-word on 28 April in Rochester, Minnesota. But instead of consequences, Hendricks is cashing in. Since starting a fundraiser on GiveSendGo, a Christian crowdfunding platform reportedly used by white nationalists and far-right extremists, she has rapidly raised more than $600,000, well on its way to her $1 million target. Hendricks claims her life and that of her family have been threatened since Sharmake Omar’s video went viral, sparking outrage from social media users. Omar, the man speaking in the video, is unrelated to the child in question.

😈12🤬2
Continued…….. Donors have also expressed solidarity with Hendricks, with one identifying himself as an ‘Average White Man,’ praising her for ‘bravery’ and hoping she will now afford to live in a ‘nicer neighbourhood, one free of these savages.’ Let that sink in: Racism against a Black child has become a profitable enterprise.
Another example of a white person using GiveSendGo to raise funds is Kyle Rittenhouse. He shot and k*lled two Black men and injured one person protesting the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in 2020 in Wisconsin.
'N***er' is an offensive term used to describe a Black person, derived from the Latin 'niger,' meaning 'black.' Though it's usage started during US slavery, commercial rap music popularised the N-word in the late 20th century. It should not surprise anyone then that a 2015 YouGov survey for the BBC radio programme 'Newsbeat' found 27 per cent of 18- to 29-year-olds in the UK think it's acceptable to use the N-word in some circumstances and 22 per cent said they had used it amongst friends.
While Hendricks’ actions wouldn’t affect the child’s or Omar’s ability to obtain their basic needs in the United States, it reminds us that such utterances are a product of racial capitalism, an economic system whereby the ruling class sows division to keep a group of people oppressed so it can reap profits. Indeed, our people in the US have endured slavery, marginalisation and suppression going back four centuries.
Moreover, politicians' promises to bring about justice have gone unfulfilled as they serve the system, too.

‘We don’t see any American Dream. We’ve experienced only the American Nightmare.’
Migrants in the US facing deportation would undoubtedly agree with that quote from Pan-Africanist revolutionary Malcolm X (1925-65).
Many could potentially find themselves in the central African country of Rwanda if ‘early’ discussions to receive deported migrants pan out, according to Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe, speaking on 4 May to state broadcaster Rwanda TV.
The announcement follows US Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying the US is seeking countries to accept deportees, with Rwanda eager to cash in on a US asylum deal after the UK Supreme Court ruled a similar agreement unlawful. Newly-elected UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer scrapped the deal in 2024, with Kigali declining to return $300 million given to facilitate deportations.

Continued…….. The deportation talks with the US coincide with ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to broker a peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The Rwanda- and Uganda-backed M23 militia’s escalation that seized large swaths of eastern DRC earlier this year displaced more than 1 million people and k*lled at least 7,000, leading the country to approach the US for security in exchange for an exclusive minerals deal. The escalation came amidst a three-decade-long foreign-backed war over an estimated $24 trillion in mineral reserves that had k*lled as many as 6 million by 2010.
Critics say Rwanda is trying to whitewash its human rights record, which the UN and other rights organisations have flagged. The US Department of State had previously highlighted Rwanda’s record of arbitrary or unlawful arrests and k*llings, harsh prison conditions, and transnational repression of people in other countries, among other allegations. But for the US, human rights have never stood in the way of mineral access.
Despite its human rights record, Rwanda is ready to receive ‘some of the most despicable human beings,’ in the words of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, for dollars.

SUPPORT THE AES: EVERYONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY
The Pan-African revolution is here. It is no longer limited to the realm of theory. Instead, it is underway in the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), comprising Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
In this video clip from a July 2024 podcast episode, African Stream Editor-in-Chief Ahmed Kaballo reminded us that everyone has a role to play in defending the Sahel revolution.

In this video clip from a July 2024 podcast episode, African Stream Editor-in-Chief Ahmed Kaballo reminded us that everyone has a role to play in defending the Sahel revolution.
❤15🎉8💯1
Continued……Over the past few years, these three countries in Africa’s Sahel region successfully ousted Western-aligned leaders through people-backed coups d’état. Since then, the AES was formed on 6 July 2024 to share policies for greater collaboration to eventually create a Pan-African federal state. The dream is to build continental-wide governance.
As Kaballo said, if you’re a filmmaker, use your skills to share the AES revolution on screen. If you’re a writer, write articles about the AES. If you’re a teacher, teach your students about the revolution or send resources to the Thomas Sankara Center @burkinabooks (IG) in Burkina Faso and Niger. If you’re an academic, defend the Sahel in your research. If you’re a lawyer, use international law to protect the three countries under attack by neo-colonial ‘human rights’ institutions. These are just a few ways to contribute, as everyone has a role to play.
Africans, this is our revolution, and we may only have one shot at defending it. Time and time again, imperialists have overthrown our revolutionary processes, k*lled our leaders and destroyed our countries, leaving the masses of our people in destitution. We can put an end to this. But only if we go all out this time. We must defend and protect the Alliance of Sahel States.

FATHER CHARGED WITH COP MURDER DAY AFTER POLICE FATALLY SHOOT SON
On 1 May 2025, US police gunned down another young Black man: 18-year-old Ryan Hinton. Officers in Ohio reportedly killed him after claiming he was pointing a gun at them. Released body-cam footage leaves that assertion unclear. A un-used gun was retrieved at the scene. Hinton was reportedly fleeing from a stolen vehicle. Adding to the family tragedy is that his father, Rodney Hinton Jr., has since been arrested on suspicion of killing a police officer by deliberately running him over - he’s been charged with aggravated murder. Reports suggest he had been left distraught after being shown the body-cam footage by police.

According to a Statista report, US police fatally shot 1,173 civilians last year. 248 of them were Black. Furthermore, the rate of fatal police shootings among Black individuals was significantly higher than that of any other ethnic group: 6.1 per million of the population annually from 2015 to 2024.

ICJ THROWS OUT SUDAN CASE AGAINST UAE
So, prosecuting suspected gen*cide isn’t possible if the suspect doesn’t like the idea. That seems to be the conclusion of The Hague, which has thrown out Sudan’s case against the United Arab Emirates. Khartoum says Abu Dhabi is complicit in the atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary in Sudan. The RSF is strongly believed to be a proxy for UAE interests. Still, the Gulf state reminded the court that it had opted out of that part of the Genocide Convention that makes it possible to try a state for violations, and the court agreed that that means it has no jurisdiction.
