Continued......China’s UN representative argued the US-backed international security mission needs more time to establish itself, as a peacekeeping operation is not a magic pill. Previous UN interventions have wreaked havoc for Haitians, involving s*xual abuse, civilian executions, and at least 10,000 deaths as a result of peacekeepers contaminating Haiti’s water with sewerage. Additionally, the US and French history of destabilising Haiti have contributed to the dysfunction in the Caribbean country that shares an island with the Dominican Republic.

AFRICAN REMAINS DISRESPECTED IN U.S.

Prestigious Ivy League universities, such as Princeton, Harvard, and the University of Pennsylvania, and the most prominent US museum, the Smithsonian, look in cahoots with gravediggers. These institutions of higher learning have warehoused the human remains, skeletons, and skulls of Indigenous and African people without obtaining the consent of formerly living or surviving family members.

For example, when the Philadelphia police air-bombed the MOVE organisation's home in 1985—destroying over 60 rowhomes as the ensuing fire spread—the burnt human remains of two of the 11 victims—14-year-old Tree Africa and 12-year-old Delisha Africa—wound up at the University of Pennsylvania's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.

Continued......Their surviving parents and relatives did not consent to the university showcasing their remains in a course. In 2021, public outcry forced the institution to suspend the course, terminate museum curator Janet Monge and return the girls' remains to their relatives.

'This is how they see Africa,' Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré recently said about Western colonisers' relationship with Africans. 'For them, Africans belong to them.' If you examine this story, it is hard to disagree with his statement.

HASSAN NASRALLAH COMPARES U.S. AND ISRAEL ORIGINS

If not for the support of the United States, Israel could not have successfully embarked upon its current rampage in West Asia. The US has supplied Israel with weapons, funding and diplomatic cover at the UN, even as the occupation has k*lled as many as 43,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and as many as an estimated 335,000, according to University of Edinburgh global health chair Devi Sridhar. Public awareness of this contradiction has decimated any semblance of US prestige and morality. But what explains this self-destructive drive to support Israel?

Continued........Recently assassinated Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah (1960-2024) laid out the connection between the two states. He said both are the consequence of settler colonialism, which k*lled off, displaced and dispossessed the respective native populations. For the US, land grabs and slavery defined the modern state. Meanwhile, Israel's foundation lies in dispossessing lands from the Palestinians and forcing them into what's been described as a 'concentration camp' known as Gaza or the West Bank, parts of which Israeli settlers have seized over time, preventing freedom of movement among other human rights. For this reason, Nasrallah said Arab groups' lobbying efforts, for example, would fail to achieve desired results as the US aligns more closely with Israel instead. Today, Israel is the United States' largest aircraft carrier, which could never be sunk' in West Asia, as a former US official once said, a tool to keep the region destabilised and under US control.

Let us know what you think about Nasrallah's assessment.

FRANCE WANTS WESTERN SAHARA UNDER MOROCCOFRANCE WANTS WESTERN SAHARA UNDER MOROCCO

President Macron got a standing ovation in Morocco recently - vowing full French support for Rabat’s sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara. It goes against most of Europe’s position, as well as the African Union’s - whose rights court ruled that Morocco should be seen as an illegal occupying power. Macron also promised to invest into the region, whose independence movement, along with Algeria, has condemned his remarks. Israel, Spain and the US are among those backing Morocco’s claims.

MAKEBA: I’D CHOOSE OPPRESSED, ALWAYS

On this day in 2008, the world lost an extraordinary voice. Miriam Makeba wasn’t just an amazing singer, she spoke up for Africans and championed their cause at the highest level - including at the UN, where she exposed the cruelties of the apartheid regime in her native South Africa. The regime repaid her by revoking her citizenship, but even in exile, she continued to defend Africans, using her music to raise awareness of the plight of people in Cameroon, Congo, Guinea, Mozambique, South Africa and Black communities in America. In this clip, she eloquently explains why she would always choose the side of the oppressed over that of the oppressor. Rest in peace, Mama.
