CONGO’S COLONIAL LEGACY SHAPED ITS CURRENT STATE
African Stream’s ‘Pan-African Attitude’ podcast episode no. 18 explored the three-decade-long, Western-backed proxy war over natural resources in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) that had k*lled about 6 million by 2010 and internally displaced about 7 million as of last year.
Here, Maurice Carney, co-founder and executive director of Friends of the Congo (@congofriends), breaks down why we must consider the mineral conflict continued by Rwandan and Ugandan compradors (natives loyal to colonialists) within the context of Congo’s colonial past, which divided the land amongst Europeans and g*nocided its people.

Sudan has accused Kenya of actively siding with the country’s destabilisers - after Nairobi platformed, the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF). To add insult to injury, the paramilitary and its affiliates were in town to discuss launching a rival government in the sectors of Sudan they control. The move triggered outrage from Khartoum who urged the international community to denounce Kenya, claiming that Nairobi is violating UN and African Union principles by supporting efforts that threaten Sudan’s territorial integrity.
Sudan also accuses Kenya of endorsing, and even being complicit in, the RSF’s actions, which include ethnic cleansing and other atrocities against civilians during the ongoing conflict that erupted in April 2023.

🤬7👎2✍1👍1
Continued……This is not the first time Nairobi has welcomed the RSF. In January 2024, President William Ruto met with RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, who was later sanctioned by the US for his involvement in genocide. Hemedti has been implicated in targeting non-Arab Sudanese in the Darfur region, where he was involved in ethnic cleansing from 2003 to 2005 under the regime of the ousted president Omar al-Bashir. The Darfur Genocide is estimated to have resulted in over 200,000 deaths and the displacement of more than 2-million people.
Nairobi’s credentials as a regional peace broker had already come under scrutiny in December 2023, when Kenya hosted the launch of the Congo River Alliance - a coalition of rebel forces fighting in the DRC’s mineral war, including the Rwanda-backed M23.

Continued……. Currently, Sudan is experiencing another surge in violence as the army, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, seeks to reclaim control from the RSF in the capital and surrounding areas. Approximately 12.5-million Sudanese have been forcibly displaced, with 8.9 million newly internally displaced and 3.4 million seeking refuge in other countries. The UN has described this situation as the most severe humanitarian crisis and displacement scenario globally, with 30.4-million individuals - two-thirds of the population - requiring humanitarian aid.

On this day, 20 February, in 1895, Frederick Douglass (1818-95), a leading figure in the slavery abolition movement, died aged 77 due to either a heart attack or a stroke.
Douglass was born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey to Harriet Bailey, an enslaved African woman and a white man whose details remain unknown. Though his exact date of birth is unknown, it is estimated to be around February 1818. He later adopted 14 February as his birthday.
Douglass was separated from his mother as a child and spent most of his early years with his maternal grandmother. His mother died when he was still a child. He spent most of his teens enslaved on different plantations.

⚡7❤3👍3
Continued….. Despite slaveholders banning enslaved people from learning to read and write, Douglass found ways to educate himself.
In 1838, Douglass escaped from Maryland to New York by disguising himself as a sailor. He later moved to Massachusetts with his wife, Anna Murray (1813-82), a free African woman who helped Douglass escape his final enslaver. In Massachusetts, he changed his surname to Douglass. Here, he also got involved with the local abolitionist movement. In 1841, he addressed the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society’s annual convention. His oratory prowess mesmerised the audience, prompting his rise through the movement’s ranks.
Aside from his oration, Douglass was a gifted writer. In 1845, he published his first book, an autobiography, ‘Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.’
He spent the 1840s travelling around the United States advocating for the abolition of slavery and suffering several physical attacks, including one in Pendleton, Indiana, in 1843 that broke his hand. However, these attacks did not deter Douglass.
In his later years, he was a newspaper publisher and held several government positions. He also advocated for the US Constitution to grant formerly enslaved people the right to vote.
Until his death, Douglass remained a champion of African people. Now, he continues to be a source of inspiration for all those standing against imperialist exploitation.

SILENCE OF RWANDANS ON CONGO IS A TRAGEDY
An unsettling silence envelops Rwanda. Kigali is complicit in the mineral war that’s tearing the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo apart. The UN says Kigali has sent up 4,000 troops across the border to assist M23 rebels in their bid to control the region’s most lucrative mines. M23 is guilty of multiple atrocities against the Congolese people. Yet Rwandans - despite their own tragic past - are silent.
Is that simply a reflection of Kigali’s tight grip over the media and public discourse? Or, like their president Paul Kagame, are they simply feigning ignorance about what’s happening in eastern DRC?

FROM THE ALLIANCE OF SAHEL STATES TO THE UNITED STATES OF AFRICA
The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) is capturing the attention of Pan-Africanists and anti-imperialists worldwide for its courageous, outspoken leadership. But those on the frontlines pushing the AES forward are not just the brilliant presidents Ibrahim Traoré, Assimi Goïta, and Abdourahamane Tiani, but also the dedicated people who assert their Pan-African demands.
In this video, a Pan-African leader from the civil society organisation Headquarter of the Revolution, Pape Diallo, explained the urgent need and popular demand for the AES to move from a confederation—or a bloc of three countries—to a federation, meaning a single Pan-African country with a shared government and citizenship.

Nigeria has sued Binance in the Federal High Court in Abuja to recover a staggering $81.5 billion allegedly owed by the multinational cryptocurrency giant to the treasury.
Authorities say Binance must pay $79.5 billion for alleged economic damages for unlicensed operations and an additional $2 billion in back taxes and accrued interest, as revealed in court documents filed on 19 February, according to the Guardian.
They have accused Binance, the largest crypto exchange globally, of contributing to the naira’s (national currency) troubles.
This lawsuit marks the latest chapter in the ongoing conflict between the Nigerian government and Binance. In February 2024, Nigeria arrested two Binance executives, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, in a meeting supposedly about legal matters. At first, the government hit them with charges of tax evasion and money laundering, but authorities eventually decided to continue with only four counts of tax evasion, according to the Guardian.

Continued……Binance, which operates in 20 countries and has no headquarters, had previously indicated a willingness to collaborate with Nigeria’s Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to address potential tax obligations.
The FIRS claims that Binance is liable for corporate income taxes because it has established a ‘significant economic presence’ in Nigeria. FIRS seeks a court ruling to enforce tax payments for 2022 and 2023, along with a 10 per cent annual penalty on any unpaid amounts. Additionally, it is pursuing a 26.75 per cent interest rate on these overdue taxes, calculated based on the Central Bank of Nigeria’s lending rate.

RWANDA CANCELS BELGIUM AID
Rwanda has turned its back on a $99-million aid programme with Belgium - accusing the latter of blackmail. Kigali alleges that Brussels - together with the Democratic Republic of Congo - has been working behind the scenes to ensure Rwanda can’t access development financing so long as it backs rebels fighting in eastern DRC’s mineral war. Kagame’s suspension of Belgian aid is a strategic move to posture as a victim of Western interference while Rwanda continues its Western-backed looting of Congo’s resources. Kigali has long profited from the instability in neighbouring Congo. While African nations not relying on Western support is something generally to be applauded, is this an implicit admission by Rwanda that it values the illegal mineral trade more highly than peace in Africa?

WORLD ADVANCES ON THE BACK OF CONGO’S PAIN
In this clip, @tothelefttotheleft7, an activist and organiser from The Future of Congo, rails against the world’s silence over the Western greed-fuelled, Rwanda-enabled gen*cide of the Congolese people. Her powerful speech was filmed at the ‘Rwanda out of Congo’ protest outside Kigali’s embassy in Washington DC (1 February).
As she notes, much of the modern world would be impossible without the resources of the Congo. The DRC provides over 60% of the world’s cobalt - used in everything from smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles - much of it, illegally mined and exported through Rwanda to global markets. Yet as the West advances technologically, the DRC and its people spiral deeper into misery and horror.
Silence is unjustifiable.
