NIGERIA:
The Super Eagles have been on a bit of a lull, but as the saying goes, ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’. With Africa’s Player of the Year, Victor Osimhen, upfront, who’d bet against them? His goals carried Napoli to the summit of Italy’s Serie A last season. On top of that, AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze will be causing opponents plenty of headaches down the flanks. It could be Nigeria’s time.
Okay, so we haven’t mentioned the likes of hosts Ivory Coast or Cameroon. And to be fair, they could easily prove us wrong.
Tell us your favourite to lift the trophy.

KATT WILLIAMS ON WHY FARRAKHAN IS FEARED
US-based comedian and actor Katt Williams recently told former Geto Boys rapper Willie D that African unity scares the establishment. He said that may be the reason why Facebook, YouTube and Instagram have banned Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in recent years for allegedly making anti-semitic and homophobic statements.
Farrakhan is most famous for helping organise the 'Million Man March' in 1995, the largest gathering of African men in Washington, DC. The march was convened to depict a positive image of African men, and help unite our people in the struggle for a self-sufficient, fortified African community in the United States.
Could Farrakhan's ability to mobilise Africans be behind the social media bans? What do you think about silencing such an influential figure from social media platforms? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

BUSH MADE LAW TO INVADE THE HAGUE
Pressure’s mounting on Israel as international courts examine accusations of war crimes in Gaza. However, don’t hold your breath if you expect to see world leaders behind bars as a result.
Firstly, the International Court of Justice currently hearing South Africa’s claim Israel’s committing genocide, does not have the power to prosecute and looks at crimes committed by countries. Secondly, even if the International Criminal Court, which can prosecute individuals, does decide to hold Israeli and their American accomplice to account, the US military has their back.

Continued….That’s because in 2002 US President George W. Bush signed into law the Service Members Protection Act. It allows the US to use ‘all means necessary’ to bring about the release of any US or 'allied persons' being held by the ICC. And that includes Israeli officials. So, in effect, it threatens military action against The Hague-based organisation.
It’s a frightening law and they still might need it, despite pulling out of the ICC. That’s because member states, like South Africa, would be obliged to arrest anyone subject to an ICC arrest warrant, which in turn could make them a US military target. A shocking scenario.
Fittingly, Bush’s law has been dubbed 'The Hague Invasion Act’ and was introduced to protect America and the UK ahead of their illegal invasion of Iraq. Will it be a factor in determining whether justice is served this time?

HOW ISRAEL BACKED SOUTH AFRICA’S APARTHEID
South Africa has initiated proceedings at the International Court of Justice against Israel, accusing it of genocide in Gaza. Apart from it being the morally right thing to do, South Africa indeed has a bone to pick with the Israeli occupation. While Africans were fighting to rid themselves of apartheid in South Africa, Israel backed the racist settler colonial regime. Friend of the channel and rapper Lowkey has an excellent short read explaining how. Share your thoughts below.

ICJ TRIAL: SOUTH AFRICA ACCUSES ISRAEL OF GENOCIDE
This morning, 11 January 2024, South Africa took a bold stand before the whole world as it publicly accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. This took place during the first of two days of public hearings being held at the International Court of Justice.
In this video clip, South African lawyer and legal scholar Tembeka Nicholas Ngcukaitob addresses the courtroom and the world, arguing Israel is clear about its genocidal intent toward Palestinians. He came prepared with evidence, including video clips of Israeli soldiers chanting,

Continued…..'There are no uninvolved citizens,' which South Africa says reveals Israel is not aiming solely at H*m*s, but at civilians, as well. In the last three months, the Israeli military has killed more than 23,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
South Africa's legal team stated during the opening of this trial that it relates deeply to the suffering of the Palestinian people and feels a moral obligation to speak up due to their own history under more than 40 years of apartheid. Palestine rallied behind South African freedom fighters by supplying material and political support during that time. More recently, South African parliamentarians voted to close the Israeli embassy in Pretoria and cut diplomatic ties with Israel. This came after South Africa recalled its ambassador and diplomats in Tel Aviv in early November in response

IRON BIBY: BURKINA FASO NEEDS YOU!
Iron Biby - Burkina Faso's log-lift and axle-press world champion - has flexed his muscle in support of his country’s army.
In this recruitment-drive video, he urges his compatriots to back their soldiers in their war against the extremist militants who’ve occupied swathes of the country. He also pulls a stuck army vehicle out of the mud!
The roots of Burkina’s security crisis lie in the NATO-inflicted collapse of the Libyan state in 2011, which saw jihadist fighters spill over into neighbouring countries and across the Sahel.
Burkinabe citizens have been joining volunteer corps to assist the army, but more recruits are needed.
Thank you for your support @ironbiby 🫡

HOW NETANYAHU LIES TO AFRICANS
Here’s a tip. If you want to make friends with Africans, don’t lie to them. It’s a tip someone needs to pass on to Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu - fast. African Stream’s Ahmed Ghoneim explains why.
