TRANSACTIONAL DIPLOMACY. KENYA THROWS WESTERN SAHARA UNDER THE BUS
Kenya has officially backed Morocco’s 'autonomy plan' for Western Sahara - a euphemism for occupation - marking a shift in policy announced during Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi’s visit to Rabat to open Kenya’s new embassy. Kenya had been aligning with Morocco since 2022, when President Ruto announced plans to withdraw recognition of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) in exchange for Moroccan fertilizer, produced from phosphate extracts from occupied Sahrawi land.
Ties deepened with the appointment of Kenya’s first ambassador to Morocco in 2024. Morocco, which invaded Western Sahara in 1975, controls key phosphate and fishing resources and has blocked UN-backed referendums.
Both countries share patterns of repression. Morocco jails Saharawis for peaceful protest, while Kenya cracked down violently on dissent after the 2024 Finance Bill, with multiple reports of police abductions, including one targeting a Member of Parliament.

RAMAPHOSA EMBARRASSES AFRICA | WE REACT
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa boarded an aeroplane to embarrass the entire continent during his 21 May meeting with his US counterpart, Donald Trump.
Trump repeated the same tired lie centred on allegations of ‘white g*nocide’ against settler farmers in South Africa, a claim that has been repeatedly debunked, including by its alleged victims. Unfortunately, he barely got any pushback from Ramaphosa.

TULSA RACE MASSACRE WAS 'MILITARY-STYLE ATTACK' - U.S. JUSTICE DEPT.
Today, we honour the memory of those who lost their lives as a mob of white people murdered hundreds of Black residents 104 years ago in the US city of Tulsa in the state of Oklahoma.
In early January 2025, the US Department of Justice released a report on what is often referred to as the ‘Tulsa Race Massacre,’ calling it a ‘coordinated, military-style attack' that involved law enforcement's support.
Kristen Clarke, who served as the US assistant attorney general for civil rights (2021-25), shared the findings of an investigation into a mob of 10,000 white people k*lling as many as 300 Black people and destroying properties along 35 city blocks in the Greenwood neighbourhood of Tulsa from 31 May to 1 June in 1921.

🤬8🙏3
Continued……. While false allegations of a Black teenager assaulting a white woman in an elevator sparked the massacre, many have alternatively argued the prosperous Black community drew the envy of white neighbours in a society built on racial capitalism.
The US Justice Department said none of the assailants were alive.
The repercussions of this tragedy continue to resonate through generations. In June 2024, the Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit filed by the last two known survivors, Lessie Benningfield Randle, 110, and Viola Ford Fletcher, 111, who seek reparations.
A paper in the American Journal of Economics and Sociology estimated that the loss of homes, businesses, churches, public buildings, personal belongings, and cash amounted to $1.8 million in 1921 dollars, or over $200 million in 2018 dollars.
No one has ever been held accountable or prosecuted for these heinous acts, and no Black survivors received compensation for their immense losses.
Will there ever be justice for the victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre?

NGUGI ON HAITI-THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH SUCH A LEADER!
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o was a giant of African literature whose books reflected his anti-imperialist ideology and the fight for African sovereignty. He joined the ancestors on the 28 May in the US state of Georgia. His literature, spanning six decades, challenged colonial rule in Kenya and the post-independence era that followed. Thiong’o wrote in both English and Gikuyu and was a vocal advocate for the use of indigenous languages in literature.
In this now-resurfaced clip, Thiong’o criticises President William Ruto’s decision to deploy 1,000 Kenyan policemen to Haiti for a US-sponsored occupation.

❤10👍5💯2
Continued…….. He shares his disbelief and disapproval of Kenya’s decision to do so, knowing the history of Haiti as a nation and its ddestabilization by external influences. In his words, Ngũgĩ said, “I felt teary, I didn’t believe that Kenya is doing this!” During a UN general assembly in September 2023, Ruto passionately spoke about the Haiti intervention as a gesture of “Africanism”. Despite the High Court ruling the deployment as unconstitutional, Ruto defiantly sent 1000 officers to Haiti. The deployment was met with staunch opposition not only in Kenya but also from Haitians, who vehemently refused foreign intervention of any sort.
Earlier this month, following the usual playbook of grovelling before the West, Kenya’s Foreign Minister, Musalia Mudavadi, pleaded for more funds to shore up the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti, led by Nairobi at the behest of Washington. In his argument, he says that the deployed forces are struggling to tackle escalating gang violence because of a lack of money and logistical help. Two police officers have reportedly been killed in confrontations with the gangs.
Upon the passing of Thiong’o, his family emphasized that Ngũgĩ wished for his life and work to be celebrated rather than mourned.
Rest in Power, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o

'TULSA RACE MASSACRE SURVIVORS DESERVE RESTITUTION'
The last known survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre - Viola Ford Fletcher, 111, and Lessie Benningfield Randle, 110 - are still waiting for justice more than a century after one of the worst racial crimes in the US.
In this clip, Nehemiah Frank, a descendant of victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre, reacted to the Oklahoma Supreme Court dismissing a compensation claim in June 2024 on the grounds that ‘simply being connected to a historical event does not provide a person with unlimited rights to seek compensation’ under the city’s public nuisance statute.
However, the court acknowledged the ‘grievance with the social and economic inequities created by the Tulsa Race Massacre is legitimate and worthy of merit.’
In early January 2025, the US Department of Justice released a report, calling the massacre a ‘coordinated, military-style attack' that involved law enforcement's support.

Continued……Between 31 May and 1 June in 1921, a white-supremacist mob k*lled about 300 Black people and rendered homeless thousands in Tulsa’s Greenwood District, where Black people built a thriving community starting in 1905.
While false allegations of a Black teenager assaulting a white woman in an elevator sparked the attack, many have alternatively argued the prosperous Black community drew the envy of white neighbours in a society built on racial capitalism.
A paper in the American Journal of Economics and Sociology estimated that the loss of homes, businesses, churches, public buildings, personal belongings, and cash amounted to $1.8 million in 1921 dollars, or over $200 million in 2018 dollars.
Authorities never charged anyone for the Tulsa Race Massacre, and no government or insurance company ever compensated a Black person.
A third plaintiff in the lawsuit, Hughes Van Ellis, passed away in 2023 at the age of 102.
Do you think the elderly survivors and their descendants will get justice? Let us know in the comments.

In reiterating China's long-standing commitment to multilateralism, Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reaffirmed China's support for a two-state solution for Palestine and Israel based on the pre-1967 lines.
'Gaza is not a bargaining chip,' said Guo, invoking China's view of Palestinian statehood as a right, not a concession in the game of short-term geopolitical moves.
