Europe’s right-wingers don’t want to help Sudanese refugees find safety. They argue that it’s Africa’s business, and the responsibility of Sudan’s 7 neighbours to help out. Well, that’s exactly what those African counties have been doing - providing shelter and assistance to over 100,000 fleeing the conflict, despite (some of them) being in the grip of their own humanitarian and security crises.

SOUTH AFRICA WANTS ITS DIAMONDS BACK
The plundering of Africa was rubbed in our faces during the recent coronation of Charles III. That crown, that sceptre - all studded with jewels taken without consent from the continent… including one of the most impressive diamonds ever found. South Africans say it’s time to hand the stones back.

EAST DRC: MORE TROOPS COMING…
SADC - a bloc of southern African states - has decided to send troops to eastern DRC. The region is being contested by rebel groups that have terrorised the civilian population, with many fleeing. East African nations under the EAC umbrella have already deployed forces there. These have clawed back some of the areas captured by the insurgents. It’s hoped there will be strategic coordination between the SADC and EAC operations, with the additional boots on the ground proving decisive.
Many welcome the move as a sign of African solidarity and cooperation. Others see it as a case of external meddling. Let us know your views in the comments.

TERROR IN TUNISIA
A lone gunman has killed 4 people in a shooting rampage near a synagogue in Tunisia. Hundreds of pilgrims were celebrating an annual Jewish holiday. The victims - two worshippers and two police officers - were Tunisian, Tunisian-Israeli and French-Israeli. The Ghriba synagogue on Djerba Island - a tourist hotspot 500km south of the capital - attracts many Jewish pilgrims from Europe and Israel. It was previously targeted by al-Qaeda, who truck-bombed it in 2002 - killing 21.

'THEY SET OUT TO DESTROY US'
Keeping African countries underdeveloped was the main goal when European imperialists carved up the continent. Former African Union representative, Dr Arikana Chihombori-Quao, pulls no punches in explaining the blatant ripping and stitching of nations. There was little regard for existing political entities, historical relationships, alliances or rivalries. Even basic geography wasn’t taken into account, creating new geopolitical tensions and fragmented nations without any real power on the world stage.

KEVIN HART: MEDIA MISLEADS ABOUT AFRICA
US actor Kevin Hart points the finger at the mainstream media for warping his perception of Africa. He said the reality, when he visited, was totally different. Instead of having to be on guard, he felt right at home. He accuses the media of perpetuating a misleading and damaging image of Africa by only focusing on the bad things that happen - essentially running a negative PR campaign. The message is clear: ditch the mainstream for African Stream, and judge the REAL Africa for yourself!

CLEOPATRA BLACK OR WHITE?
Netflix is being sued for its Black representation of Cleopatra in its latest docudrama. The debate about the Queen of Egypt’s origins has raged for decades, but this latest backlash is among the strongest. Why is her race among Egyptians causing so much dispute, two thousand years after her death?

BRITISH MEDDLING AND AFRICAN CIVIL WARS
Africa’s got bad rep when it comes to civil wars. Why does it have so many? Sudan’s slipping into another as we speak. Well, part of the trouble - a big part - is the mess the British made of things when they occupied our lands. African Stream’s Ahmed Ghoneim - reporting from London - looks at why their colonialism made civil wars more likely in Africa.

WHO BACKS WHO
Like many conflicts, warring sides in Sudan are backed by foreign powers hedging their bets on the country's future in line with their own interests. We break down who backs who and why.

RACE AND IQ
Although race science or scientific racism has been repeatedly debunked, the idea that certain races are inherently more intelligent than others is as far-fetched as it is ignorant. A 1977 New York Times article which sensationally claimed Blacks have below average IQs which is why many fall below the poverty line was discredited by US political commentator Noam Chomsky, who pushed back against such offensive thinking.
Here, he explains that if environmental factors are equalised and socioeconomic disparities are removed, then IQ differences disappear. The supposed science of race is at least as old as slavery and colonialism, and it was considered conventional wisdom in many western countries until recently. In apartheid South Africa, the idea that each race had its own characteristics and intellectual ability was part of the justification for the system of exploitative white rule.
Ultimately, race and intelligence have deeper layers than the mere colour of skin.

A CRY FOR SUDAN
A woman is overcome with emotion as she prays for Sudan at the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudia Arabia, the holiest site in Islam. The number of displaced people in the conflict-ridden country has doubled in the last week to 700,000. More than 600 have lost their lives. It’s feared escalating violence could spiral into Africa-wide instability.

US BOOTS TO STAY IN SOMALIA
US lawmakers have voted overwhelmingly to maintain an American military presence in Somalia. A passionate speech by Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz claiming the current mission has no positive impact - and is likely counterproductive - didn’t convince the House, which voted 102-321 against his motion to exit the Horn of African nation. Why do you think he failed to win lawmakers over?
