Continued - OMALI YESHITELA: WEST SABOTAGED HAITI
The same European and U.S. forces that for months have not been able to find willing cannon fodder for another round of occupation are responsible for the dysfunction we see today in Haiti. The majority-Black country's situation is not an accident, or due to a perceived inability of Africans to govern themselves. The first successful slave revolt that resulted in the first African Republic has had to be suppressed for over a century, says Yeshitela. Haiti is being punished for its freedom, and no amount of foreign boots on the island has solved the systemic problems created by the same powers that pretend to be concerned now.
In recent times, when Haiti had a functional, popularly elected government led by President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the US overthrew him and sent him packing to Africa, throwing the country into chaos. The US response to the confusion was to send a UN occupation force that killed tens of thousands of Haitians through cholera, alongside mass reports of rape, including that of children. It is no wonder Haitians are strongly against yet another foreign intervention. Kenya is merely Blackwashing Western imperialism by providing false solutions that do not address Haiti’s problems, namely destruction of the African island nation of Haiti to further Western interests.

LONG LIVE SAMORA MACHEL!
Samora Machel, the leader of Mozambique’s independence struggle and the country’s first post-independence president, was born on this day in 1933.
He was born into a family of subsistence farmers forced off their land to pave the way for Portuguese settlers. This experience made Machel politically conscious at a young age.
After primary school, Machel trained to be a nurse and later worked at a hospital in the then-capital, Lourenço Marques. The poor working conditions for black nurses at the hospital compared to their white counterparts further politicized Machel. In the early 60s, he left the country for Tanzania to join the Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO), the country’s liberation movement.
After undergoing military training in Algeria, he quickly rose through the ranks and in 1970, he became FRELIMO’s president after founding leader Eduardo Mondlane was killed in a bomb attack in 1969.
In 1975, he became Mozambique’s president when it gained independence from Portugal.

In 1975, he became Mozambique’s president when it gained independence from Portugal.
Machel quickly embarked on an ambitious program to develop the country. He also welcomed liberation movements fighting against racist regimes in South Africa and Rhodesia.
However, his time in power was far from easy. He fought rebels from the Resistência Nacional Moçambicana (RENAMO), whom Malawi and the two racist regimes backed. RENAMO targeted rural populations and destroyed vital economic and social facilities such as power stations and bridges.

Continued- LONG LIVE SAMORA MACHEL!
This crippled Mozambique’s economy, forcing Machel to sign a non-aggression pact with the South African apartheid regime. However, Pretoria continued to clandestinely support RENAMO.
In 1986, Machel died in a plane crash in South Africa with accusations that Pretoria was behind the tragedy. Subsequent investigations into the crash have produced more questions than answers, and after nearly 37 years, the exact cause is yet to be determined.
What is clear, however, is that Machel was one of the finest revolutionaries, cadres and leaders the motherland has produced. His legacy is one of sacrifice and struggle for the total emancipation of the African people. Long Live the undying spirit of Comrade Samora Machel! Long live Mozambique!

NAPOLI INSULTS STAR NIGERIAN STRIKER
Nigeria’s superstar striker Victor Osimhen was publicly mocked by his Italian club Napoli this week. They posted a humiliating video on TikTok that poked fun at his recent penalty miss against Bologna. The club quickly deleted it but hasn’t apologised, only saying it wasn’t meant to ‘offend’. So, here’s our question: would this have happened if Osimhen was say... an Italian White legend of the club? We look at the ridiculous scapegoating of an attacker whose goals handed Napoli their first league noscript in decades.

NIGERIENS DESTROY FRENCH WATER TRUCK!
Barely two weeks after Nigerien civilians and soldiers seized croissants meant for French troops, angry youths attacked a truck carrying drinking water destined for the forces of the former colonial ruler. The incident comes amid increased calls for France to heed the new government's order to withdraw its troops from the country because of “contradicting interests on Niger.” French President Emmanuel Macron had initially defied orders to remove troops from Niger following the military take over, but relentless protests by Nigeriens forced him to abandon his tough talk and give in to the demands. He recently announced that the troops will be withdrawn by the end of 2023, but Nigeriens who have suffered decades of French occupation and exploitation want it to happen sooner.

'IMPERIALISM ISN'T STRONG BUT AFRICAN TRAITORS ARE STRONG'
Kemi Seba, a prominent Pan-African activist, led a large protest in Niger's capital, Niamey, in front of the French military base on September 28. The demonstrators were demanding the swift departure of French troops from the country.
These protests have been ongoing, with almost daily gatherings at the base throughout the month. French President Emmanuel Macron announced on September 24 that French troops would gradually withdraw, but many Nigeriens want a faster exit.
Kemi Seba has a history of arrests and expulsions from European countries in the course of Pan-African agitation. He urged Nigeriens to rise up against the French presence and accused West African leaders aligned with France of being traitors.

France's decision to withdraw its troops from Niger reflects its increasing isolation in West Africa, as other countries like Mali and Burkina Faso have already expelled longstanding French military forces.
Paris had initially vowed to stay put unless ousted President Mohamed Bazoum gave the order, calling the current Niger government "illegitimate." However, thanks to the unyielding pressure of Nigeriens, it has had to pull out both its ambassador and troops.

U.S. OFFICIAL INDICTED FOR ACCEPTING BRIBES
The US government sits on its high horse and hurls accusations of corruption against any country you can think of in the Global South. This comes despite legalised bribery in the United States occurring under the guise of “lobbying,” or while trading stocks. Yet, once in a blue moon, someone actually gets punished. Who's up to bat this time?
The now-former chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Menendez, allegedly took hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from the Egyptian government and others, according to a recent US government indictment. It states he even used the money to buy a shiny new convertible Mercedes Benz for his wife, Nadine.
Many speculate that this kind of corruption is rampant in the United States, so it might surprise some that an elected official who once led the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee would get caught.

CHOMSKY: JAILED BLACKS ARE PERFECT LABOUR FORCE
In America Blacks are five times more likely to be jailed than Whites, according to latest research. And it’s been a feature of US society for decades, but why? US intellectual and political activist Noam Chomsky says it’s taken over from slavery as the main source of cheap labour.
There was a brief respite after the Second World War, but that only lasted until the 1970s.
A study, by the Washington-based Sentencing Project, blames the racial disparity on a legacy of White supremacy and Black subordination.
Here, Chomksy maps out America’s shocking history of incarceration.

Pan-Africanist Thomas Sankara had a very clear view of Africa’s debt trap. Colonialists destroyed countries and then lent them money they could not afford to repay. He delivered this speech back in 1987, at the African Unity Organisation Summit in Addis Ababa. But his words still resonate today, with over a third of the continent facing high levels of debt distress or bankruptcy.

GHANA'S CHOCOLATE REVOLUTION
West Africa has been a focal point in the struggle against neocolonialism in recent years, while headlines about military coups seizing power capture the world audience, it's not always guns and bullets that make the difference, sometimes it's something as seemingly benign as chocolate.
There is a brewing trade dispute between Ghana and the European Union over chocolate that could potentially trigger a manufacturing revolution in West Africa. Western countries have exploited African resources for centuries, with little value in return. European companies have gotten away with paying African farmers low prices for cocoa beans, profiting from African labour and resources without paying fair compensation. The terms of trade heavily favour European buyers, putting Africans at a significant disadvantage. Well, maybe that is finally ending, as this exploitative approach is hitting a crescendo in Ghana.

The European Union, a chief culprit in this corporate theft, not satisfied with the ludicrously high profits for its member states, threatened to sanction Ghana, for not being environmentally sustainable, if the West African state did not purchase carbon credits from them. If that seems hypocritical, you might be onto something, and Ghana's government is not too pleased.
But Ghana's president declared a shift in cocoa processing, with over 50% of cocoa to be processed within the country, and it's more than just words; Ghana is taking serious action, hiring experts, and ramping up its productive capacity.
Is the European Union's demands for environmental sustainability just another attempt to take more money from West Africa?
