Continued……Like Nigeria, the UK has its challenges with systemic issues, such as racist policies that make Black people and others feel unsafe, as well as economic mismanagement. Its leaders accuse others of corruption, yet the difference between the UK and the Global South, is that its corruption—and that of its Western allies—is tactfully concealed in veneers of civility.
Further, while Badenoch benefits from UK citizenship, she promotes policies that deny that opportunity to Black and Brown immigrants while welcoming Ukrainian immigrants. She has argued that all cultures are not equal and that ‘British values’ must be protected from anti-Israel immigrants.
‘I would go to war for this country,’ Badenoch has said. ‘I would fight for this country. I would die for this country.’

OMALI YESHITELA: AFRICAN UNION WAS FORMED TO DIVIDE, NOT UNIFY
In 2019, at Oxford Union’s debate society, African People’s Socialist Party (@APSPusa on X) founder and Chairman Omali Yeshitela provided an insightful breakdown of why the African Union—originally the Organisation of African Unity (OAU)—was not formed to unite Africa, but to keep the continent divided.
@OmaliYeshitela (X) asserts Kwame Nkrumah (1909-72), Ghana’s first president and founding father of the OAU, held a vision of a United States of Africa that would be fully integrated—politically, socially and economically. Instead, the OAU formed as a compromise due to the ideological differences between the Casablanca and Monrovia groups. The former sought to dismantle colonial borders, while the latter sought to operate within them.

Continued……Unfortunately, the OAU fortified colonial borders that have prevented meaningful progress for Africa, leaving the continent divided and economically vulnerable to continued exploitation, which Nkrumah had warned about.

WEST RESPONDS TO ICC ARREST WARRANTS FOR NETANYAHU
The International Criminal Court (ICC) Pre-Trial Chamber I on 21 November unanimously decided to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant.
Unlike 124 other countries, Israel is not a party to the Rome Statute. Thus, Netanyahu said the decision has no bearing on them, adding that the ICC is ‘biased,' and he described the charges as 'anti-Semitic.’
Israel's military onslaught in Gaza had k*lled as many as 186,000 Palestinians between 8 October 2023 and early July, per the Lancet medical journal.
Some Western leaders have aided Israel with funding, arms and UN Security Council vetoes. Here are just a few of their public statements on the warrants.

VIDEO CLAIMS KENYANS DEMOLISHING 'BARBECUE' BASE
This video claims to show Kenyan police officers deployed in Haiti demolishing former Haitian police officer Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Chérizier’s stronghold. It comes amidst sentiment that Kenyan police, on a US-backed Multinational Security Support Mission in the Caribbean state since June, have been ineffective in ensuring peace.
The Caribbean country has remained in a state of turmoil since the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. For years prior, chaos reigned amidst foreign interventions, coups d'état and exploitation of the masses by multinational corportations.

PARIS EYEING NIGERIA AMID LOSS OF FRANCAFRIQUE
Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu embarked on 27 November on a two-day state visit to France, emphasising mutual respect and equality in strengthening French-Nigerian relations, mainly through investments in critical sectors like agriculture, energy, and education.
The visit comes amidst France's waning influence in Africa, marked by military base closures, French troops booted out and strained diplomatic ties following people-backed coups d’état in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger in 2021-23.
With Chad and Senegal this week also rejecting a French military presence signals further former coloniser France's decline in Africa’s Sahel region.
Nigeria, France’s fourth-largest African trading partner, represented French interests by spearheading the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)-led sanctions on Niger over its 2023 coup.

Chad has become the latest African state to end a defence cooperation pact with former coloniser France.
In a Foreign Ministry statement issued on 28 November, the country straddling the Sahara Desert and the arid Sahel region announced the termination of this pact. The announcement came just hours after French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot’s visit.
Chadian Foreign Minister Abderaman Koulamallah said in the statement that in ‘accordance with the provisions of the agreement, [Chad] undertakes to respect the terms laid down for its termination, including the notice period.’ However, the timeframe for a French troop departure was unclear as of press time.
France has stationed about 1,000 military personnel in the capital, N'Djamena, Abéché in the east and Faya in the north. In April, Chad's air force chief ordered about 100 US troops at the Adji Kossei Air Base near N’Djamena to cease operations.
