Today, in the U.S., Blacks are five times more likely to be arrested and six times more likely imprisoned than Whites. Moreover, once convicted, they are more likely to experience lengthy prison sentences. A few examples of Sleepy Joe making a mess of it while he's awake.

DIASPORA NEEDS AN AFRICAN CULTURAL RENAISSANCE
Activist and academic Ramona Edelin - who’s famous for popularising the term ‘African-American’ (though we prefer ‘Africans in America’!) - once made the case that the diaspora needs to draw inspiration from its African roots. Too much emphasis is given, she says, to the dark side of our history - especially slavery and the socio-economic problems faced by Africans in America. In this clip from a TV appearance a while back, she urges us to draw inspiration from our African past, which was rich with mathematics, science, music, art and religion. Doing so, she says, could lead to a cultural renaissance within diaspora communities. What do you think? Does the diaspora need to re-connect with the ‘land base’?

THE CIA 'LIES, CHEATS AND STEALS'
With CIA drones operating out of Niger, and renewed calls post-coup for the US base there to be shut down, let’s remember what the agency’s former boss Mike Pompeo once publicly admitted: we lie, we steal and we cheat.
The brazen confession confirmed what many had suspected: that the CIA will shamelessly flout international law to get its way. But it’s rare to hear it straight from the horses mouth.
The CIA drone base in Dirkou, Niger gives the US the ability to launch an attack anywhere in West Africa at any time, as well as easy access to Libya, North Africa and much of Central Africa.
The CIA has a long history of political intervention across the African continent, and is implicated in the overthrow of numerous popular African leaders.

THE BOOK THAT GOT NKRUMAH DEPOSED?
Today is the 75th anniversary of the formation of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In those 75 years, the agency has wreaked havoc across the world, especially in Africa. To the CIA, revolutionary Pan-African leaders like Kwame Nkrumah were a threat that needed to be 'neutralised'. Even their words were perceived to threaten the U.S. establishment - don't take our word for it; take it from Kwame Nkrumah's editorial assistant, June Milne. She says his book 'Neo-Colonialism, The Last Stage of Imperialism' spurred the U.S. into sponsoring the coup that removed him. It caused such a stir on its release that America cancelled its aid to Ghana before the CIA sponsored a coup to remove Nkrumah from office.

HOW THE CIA ASSASSINATED LUMUMBA
On this day, 75 years ago, America’s Central Intelligence Agency was formed. And over the last seven decades it’s wreaked havoc on the world stage. Countless coups, assassinations and regime changes among the horrors it’s perpetrated. But few countries have been impacted like the Democratic Republic of Congo.
After its independence the CIA began pulling strings behind the scenes. And shortly after becoming the country’s first Prime Minister, Patrice Lumumba was killed. Some argue the CIA wanted him dead after his speech warning against mineral-rich Katanga from seceding.
Here’s a reminder of the chilling details surrounding the assassination, one of the most significant in the 20th century.

NIGER, MALI, BURKINA SECURITY ALLIANCE
A mutual defence pact has been agreed between Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. It considers an attack on one as an attack on all and follows ECOWAS threats against Niger following this summers coup in Niamey.
The new pact will also see cooperation in the fight against terrorism. A previous G5 Sahel security alliance had included all three countries along with Chad and Mauritania. That’s now been dissolved and the latest agreement's been reached without interference from former coloniser France.

BENIN ARRESTS PAN-AFRICAN ACTIVIST KEMI SEBA
Pan-African political orginser Kemi Seba whose ancestry comes from Benin has hit back at Beninese authorities after his latest arrest.
In a social media post, the Pan-Africanist accused Benin of being part of the “Francafrique mafia” and a servant to French interests.
While en route to Niger he was detained at Cotonou airport for inciting insurrection and money laundering, which he denies.
Seba is the president of NGO Urgences Panafricanistes and supports the popular military coup in Niamey, which ECOWAS member Benin opposes.
He’s also backed the revolutionary military leadership in Burkina Faso and Mali.
Seba’s lawyer confirmed his release but warned he still faces charges and is “under significant threat.”

FRANCE’S ‘COUPS’ IN AFRICA
There’s been a lot of noisy outrage over the coup in Niger - both from the West and from African states in its (in particular, France’s) pockets. But there’s been radio silence about a number of other ‘coups.’ That’s what Arikana Chihombori-Quao calls Paris’ economic power-grab in 14 African nations via the CFA franc, its military ‘occupations’ in the form of multiple military bases across Africa, and its seizure of effective control over Niger’s valuable uranium deposits. These ‘coups,’ says the African Union’s former ambassador to the US, should command just as much outrage from the likes of West African bloc ECOWAS as the coup in Niger has done.
Chihombori was relieved of her role as envoy to America by the AU in 2019. Some suspect it was her clear anti-imperialist sympathies that got her forced out, possibly under pressure from external players.
