Continued…To avoid imposing a financial burden on the new nation, Marley used his personal money to fly in his band and equipment for the performance.
Commotion ensued during the acclaimed show, as thousands who could not make it inside the stadium to catch a glimpse of the star almost ran amok, prompting security officers to lob teargas canisters into and around the stadium. However, Marley carried on with the gig. He also put on a second huge show the next day - Independence Day! - for those who missed out the earlier celebration.
Some four decades later, his performance is still the stuff of legends. One story is that prisoners broke out of jail in an attempt to get to the concert. There is no telling if it is indeed true, but what is certain is that music is a powerful tool that - in the hands of politically conscious individuals - can be used to foster social and economic change.
Long live the undying spirit of Bob Marley!

MONEY TRAIL EXPLAINS U.S. BACKING OF ISRAEL
Why is the US so eager to fund and arm Israel’s horrific destruction of Gaza? In this snippet of a 12-minute video, anti-war journalist, Ryan Dawson, reveals a telling money trail.
Billions of US aid sent to Israel ends up in the pockets of American arms manufacturers and APAIC, the pro-Israeli lobby group. Not only does it advocate pro-Israel policies to the legislative and executive branches, 97 percent of candidates it backs get elected. In 2022 alone, the organisation spent at least $3.6 million on the Congressional Black Caucus, financing figures like Hakeem Jeffries. These politicians then pass bills sending billions to Israel.
The host calls it a self-licking ice cream, and it could help explain why the US remains an eager participant in the massacre of tens of thousands of women, children and men.

Continued…. Since October 7th, the US has vetoed at least three ceasefire resolutions. President Biden, the biggest recipient of AIPAC money, pledged $14-billion to Israel in November. The US has also sent hundreds of shipments of weapons used to flatten Gaza.
The video concludes halting aid to Israel should be a priority for Americans interested in maintaining their country’s sovereignty. Is this assessment on the money?

THE MOTHER OF ALL KARENS
Karen Blixen’s legacy during Kenya’s colonial era is nothing rosy. She was a white aristocratic Danish writer considered the mother of all Karens- who boasted a 6,000-acre home and 2,000 servants on her coffee farm at the foot of the Ngong' Hills.
Today is her birthday. There will be no candles or birthday cake for this occasion as we take you down memory lane to a time during colonization when she acquired her land forcefully from the Maasai people and left a legacy marred by racism and marginalisation as well as a suburb named after her that still carries the whiff of colonial exclusivity and snobbishness.

PLO LUMUMBA’S FRIENDSHIP WITH PAUL KAGAME
The Democratic Republic of the Congo’s (DRC’s) army and M23 militant group have been fighting for control of the eastern DRC’s Goma city and the surrounding mineral-rich area for many years. However, while Kinshasa has long accused Kigali of providing financial, political and military support to M23—and despite mounting evidence against Rwanda—Rwandan President Paul Kagame has always denied culpability.
During Pan-African Attitude podcast episode no. 8, held at African Stream’s studios in Nairobi, Pan-African scholar PLO Lumumba admitted to being friends with Kagame. So, our team put him on the spot to reveal some of their private conversations, specifically who Kagame thinks is to blame for the long-standing crisis in the Congo.
Give it a watch, and let us know if you’re satisfied with the response.

AFRICAN BLOOD & SWEAT BUILT THE WEST
The West often claims it is more developed because its people work harder and are more ingenious. However, we know European colonisation stole wealth from our continent. Europeans used our resources to build ‘civilised’ countries in Europe and the Americas, elevating the standard of living for a portion of the global population.
And this clip featuring our ancestor, South African freedom fighter Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, shows the truth. However, the term, ‘Third World,’ that Mama Winnie uses was created to distinguish between countries of the global majority that refused to align with either the United States or the Soviet Union during the 20th century’s ‘Cold War.’ So, while some in the Global North will use the term to describe poverty conditions, we recognise its dignity.
What do you think of Mama Winnie’s remarks?

ANTI-ZIONIST JEW ON ZIONIST & FASCIST COLLABORATION
In this @thepeoplesbubbiefilm clip, @jvpny member Esther Farmer reads from a piece she wrote published in a 2021 book she co-edited, ‘A Land With a People: Palestinians and Jews Confront Zi*nism.’ She describes her father’s opposition to Zi*nism, as it collaborated with fascism and Nazism.
However, African Stream would like to point out that the state of Israel also collaborated with former N*zis to support apartheid in South Africa.
The apartheid system bore striking similarities to European Nazism in that the populations were strictly categorised based on race, and various laws forbade intermarriage and intermixing. Laws also kept white people in power.
The first leader to officially impose apartheid laws, D.F. Malan, once said, ‘I have been reproached that I am now discriminating against the Jews as Jews.

Continued….. Now, let me say frankly that I admit that it is so.’ However, authorities recognised South Africa’s wh*te population had a disadvantage in being small, so they bestowed the wh*te status onto Jewish people, too.
John Vorster led South Africa from 1966 to 1979, serving as prime minister and later as president. He spent much of his early adulthood supporting the N*zi expansion across Europe as an active member of the organisation, Ossewabrandwag, which sought to bring N*zism to South Africa.
Despite this history, Israel lent generous material support to the apartheid regime beginning in the late 1970s, even inviting Prime Minister John Vorster, who expressed public admiration for H*tler, as a guest to Israel. From that point on, Israel would supply South Africa with all sorts of weapons to combat freedom-fighting Africans. Israel even gave South Africa the information it needed to build nuclear bombs.

AFRICANS INVENTED THE BANJO
Did you know that African people invented the banjo? The banjo is an instrument that nowadays is largely associated with rural White country artists, but it would not exist without African innovation.
Africans were kidnapped and brought to the Americas, bringing with them their culture and their music styles. Stringed instruments are common across Africa, and many of them bear a striking similarity to the banjo found in the southern United States. African instruments such as the kora, the akonting, the ubaw-akwala, the xalam and the ngoni are all precursors to the American banjo.
The earliest historical documentation of the American instrument all attribute its origin to enslaved Africans. The latter used materials that were readily available to them in the Americas to recreate the instruments they were familiar with in Africa. They originally used gourds and animal skins, which is how these instruments are usually made in Africa.

Continued…. Banjos and other, similar stringed instruments were also created by African people across the Caribbean.
The Banjo was such an important centrepiece of African life across the Americas and the world at large that Jamaican-born writer Claude Mckay noscriptd his novel about Pan-African exchanges ‘Banjo.’
It was only through generations of racism in the US music industry that the instrument was decoupled from its African roots and attributed to Southern White populations.
This clip by @protectourhistory gives a good account of the story - as well as some fine examples of the instrument being played! Do you play?

MUGABE OWNS UK JOURNO
Today marks 44 years since Zimbabwe became an independent state - breaking free of the yoke of British settler-colonialism.
Independence came after a bitter and protracted armed struggle, waged against the racist regime of Ian Smith by two liberation movements: the Zimbabwe African People’s Union (ZAPU) and the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU).
In December 1979, the warring parties signed the Lancaster House Agreement, which paved the way for the country’s first democratic elections. ZANU’s Robert Mugabe won those, and officially became the country’s first post-independence leader on 18th April, 1980.
To commemorate that momentous occasion, here’s a flashback to when Mugabe put a condescending British journalist in his place. At an African Union summit during the late noughties, the ITN correspondent tried to get a reaction out the Zimbabwean president. Mugabe did not hold back.
Which of today’s African leaders do you think are equally ‘no nonsense’?

ISRAEL PUSHING U.S. TIKTOK BAN?
The U.S. political establishment is pressing to ban TikTok, and it’s being framed as a bid to counter Chinese influence. But is this a red herring? African Stream’s Ahmed Ghoneim argues it’s Israel that’s behind the drive to axe the platform which is spreading pro-Palestinian sentiment. And a leaked recording of the head of the Anti-Defamation League, seems to back the case.
However, even if TikTok does get the chop before the US presidential election, would it really make any difference to public opinion?
Give us your thoughts.

JAMAICAN TEACHER BRAIN DRAIN
Despite promises to reduce immigration, the United Kingdom actively recruits foreign teachers due to a severe shortage.
In 2023, the UK hired 486 Jamaican teachers, double the previous year. This has left Jamaica’s education system in crisis, with unfilled vacancies and fewer subjects for Jamaican children to study.
While low wages and economic challenges contribute to teachers leaving, what do you think Jamaica should do to retain its homegrown talent?

GALLOWAY BLASTS SUNAK OVER ISRAEL-IRAN STANCE
Why can’t Britain admit Israel’s attack on the Iranian embassy compound in Syria was wrong? In this clip you’ll see MP George Galloway call out Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during a parliamentary session.
Sadly, he was a lone voice criticising Tel Aviv’s destruction of the consulate in Damascus on April 1st. An action that’s in clear violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. Galloway lambasts other politicians for failing to challenge the government’s position. And he also lays into the media, for remaining silent. A recent interview of the UK’s top diplomat by Sky News’ Kay Burley being a rare exception.

Continued….. It was Israel’s strike that provoked Iran’s retaliatory response that saw hundreds of drones and missiles launched at Israel. The UK government was quick to denounce Tehran, but gives Tel Aviv a free pass. Mind you, have the British ever been worried about right and wrong when it comes to Iran?
Galloway reminds the PM how Britain overthrew Iran’s democratically elected socialist leader, Mohammad Mosaddegh, in 1953. He was targeted by the British and Americans for working to keep oil in Iranian hands for the benefit of his country. Apart from exploiting Iran’s oil wealth for decades through the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, Britain also looted archaeological treasures dating back to the Persian empire, which are kept in British museums. But all that seems to be lost on Rishi Sunak.

There are fears the UK is about to make the Sudan war a whole lot worse. The Guardian newspaper reports Foreign Office officials are in secret talks with the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group. The aim, says the British government, is to improve access to humanitarian aid.
However, human rights groups fear it will just legitimise the RSF which is accused of war crimes and dent Britain’s moral credibility. A UN report accuses the militia of killing 15,000 in Geneina, the capital of West Darfur state.
Maddy Crowther, co-director of the human rights organisation Waging Peace, told the Guardian: 'I’m shocked. It feels like a terrible move. For the Sudanese, it will be experienced as a real slap in the face.'

In response to a Freedom of Information request, the Foreign Office said it instigated the talks, although contact has not been made with RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, widely known as Hemedti. The 49-year-old is a former commander of the Janjaweed militias, the RSF’s forerunner accused of gen*cidal violence in Darfur in 2003.

FRENCH GENERAL: EUROPE MUST INTERVENE IN AFRICA
In the face of an anti-imperialist revolution unfolding across France’s former colonies of the Sahel region, French army general François Gérard Marie Lecointre speaks in this @lefigaro clip about the need for greater European unity to re-engage in military action across Africa.
He makes clear that European action in Africa would be a matter of protecting European interests. Lecointre suggested hardship and population growth in Africa would spill into Europe and that only Europe could solve Africa’s problems.
His emphasis on European unity also sheds light on Europe’s shared supranational foreign policy.

AAMER RAHMAN: ‘DEMS VS GOP’ NO CHOICE FOR US
Here we are again. Another US presidential election is coming up in November, and we are back to the same old, same old: Democrats vs Republicans, Joe Biden vs Donald Trump, deadly foreign policy vs deadly foreign policy. But is the ‘lesser of two evils’ a real choice?
In this clip from comedian Aamer Rahman’s comedy standup tour in February in London, he relays to the audience the reality in which our people live. We are stuck in a system that only demands that we choose in the voting booth who will oppress us and kill people like us around the world. We cannot ignore the Biden administration’s role in aiding Israel in killing more than 33,000 Palestinians while it continues to play a covert role in aiding the displacement, hunger and murder of our people in the Sudan and the Congo.
