NOW DECLASSIFIED: CIA PLOTTED COUP AGAINST NKRUMAH
Ghana’s president, John Dramani Mahama, says that newly declassified documents from the US archives implicate the CIA in the coup that ousted the nation’s first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.
Mahama made the significant announcement on 6 March during the celebrations marking Ghana’s 68th Independence Day. Nkrumah, a prominent pan-African figure during Africa’s decolonisation, envisioned an industrialised Ghana that would lead the continent towards self-sufficiency. His aspirations were abruptly halted when a military and police coup took place on 24 February 1966, while he was on a diplomatic mission in China.
As a pan-Africanist and socialist, Nkrumah launched initiatives aimed at achieving political and economic independence for Africa during a period when much of the continent remained under colonial rule.

Continued…….. He dreamed of a united Africa liberated from imperialism, a vision he actively pursued by organising the first All-African Peoples’ Conference in Accra, Ghana, in 1958. In 1963, he was instrumental in founding the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), the forerunner of the African Union (AU).
Due to his dedication to socialism and pan-Africanism, his willingness to work with the Soviet Union and China, and his efforts to foster anti-imperialism across Africa and beyond, Nkrumah increasingly became perceived as a threat by the US government, which initiated plans to depose him.
The coup in 1966 disrupted Ghana’s path to industrialisation and led to prolonged political turmoil. Today, the West African nation grapples with substantial foreign debts owed to imperialist institutions such as the IMF, while ordinary citizens face rising living costs - an unfortunate departure from Nkrumah’s original vision.
Additionally, Western powers have similarly undermined other influential African leaders, including Patrice Lumumba of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Amílcar Cabral in Guinea-Bissau and Sylvanus Olympio of Togo.

In a futile attempt to solicit rage and position himself as a victim of racial discrimination, South Africa-born white settler Elon Musk falsely claimed in a 7 March X post that his satellite internet service Starlink is not allowed to operate in South Africa due to his skin colour.
On 31 March 2021, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) released the country’s ‘Regulations in respect of the Limitations of Control and Equity Ownership by Historically Disadvantaged Groups and the Application of the ICT Sector Code.’ Among the mandates issued was that Historically Disadvantaged Groups (HDGs) own at least 30 per cent of foreign-owned information and telecommunications companies’ South African subsidiaries. HDGs include Black South Africans, women, youth and individuals with disabilities.

HDGs include Black South Africans, women, youth and individuals with disabilities.
🤡6👍3😈1
Continued……These regulations are part of South Africa’s Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Act introduced in 2003 to increase the participation of Black people in the country’s economy to redress decades of economic disenfranchisement via apartheid-era laws, whose legacy lingers to this day. However, Starlink, through its parent company SpaceX, has not complied with these regulations. Moreover, according to South Africa’s telecommunications authorities, Starlink has not applied for a licence.
In response to Musk’s misleading claims, South African Head of Public Diplomacy Clayson Monyela clarified that this was not an issue of skin colour or race, adding, ‘Starlink is welcome to operate in South Africa, provided there’s compliance with local laws.’ The regulations apply to foreign-owned telecommunications companies wishing to do business in South Africa. As Monyela asserted, ‘this is a global international trade & investment principle’ and ‘there are over 600 USA companies investing & operating in [the country] ... all complying & thriving!’
It seems the multibillionaire thinks South Africa should bend the rules that many other foreign businesspeople abide by while spreading disinformation about South Africa to his over 200 million followers on X.

M23 MAKE FRESH GAINS AS DRC SLAPS BOUNTY ON KEY LEADERS
M23 rebels are making further gains in eastern DR Congo. The Rwanda-backed militia now has its sights on Walikale, an important mining town located 235 km north of Goma, the capital of North Kivu province. On 9 March, the group captured Nyabiondo, enabling its fighters to advance deeper into the mineral-rich eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Meanwhile, on Friday, Kinshasa put a $5-million reward up for information leading to the capture of key M23 figures: Corneille Nangaa, Bertrand Bisimwa and Sultani Makenga. Nangaa is affiliated with the Congo River Alliance (AFC), a military-political coalition that includes M23, and previously served as the head of the DRC’s Independent National Electoral Commission. Bisimwa and Makenga are M23’s president and military chief, respectively. All three were tried in absentia and sentenced to death in August 2024.

Continued……Additionally, DRC is offering a $4-million reward for information that leads to the arrest of the accomplices of these three men and other individuals being sought, as stated by the Congolese Justice Ministry.
In mid-December 2024, peace negotiations between Rwandan President Paul Kagame and DRC President Félix Tshisekedi - which had been due to take place in Luanda, Angola - were called off. Earlier this year, M23 launched a rapid new offensive, successfully seizing Goma and Bukavu, the capitals of North and South Kivu provinces, along with numerous towns in areas rich in minerals.
Since resuming hostilities after nearly ten years of intermittent attacks, M23 has taken control of key locations such as Rubaya, a hub for coltan essential for smartphone manufacturing, as well as Masisi, Kavumu, Minova, Kalungu, Bunagana, Rutshuru, Lubero, Nyiragongo, Nyabibwe, Kanyezire and Mukwinja.
Since January, over 7,000 people have lost their lives in the ongoing conflict in eastern DRC. The UN reports that more than 700,000 individuals have been displaced since the start of the year, adding to the more than 7-million already displaced by previous fighting as of 2024.

During an address to a joint session of Congress on 4 March, US President Donald Trump mocked the African nation of Lesotho as a country ‘which nobody has ever heard of.’
If indeed Trump had never heard of Lesotho, all he needed to do was look at his website, which markets golf T-shirts manufactured in Lesotho by the Greg Norman Collection in collaboration with the Trump golf club.
The shirts emblazoned with the Trump Golf Club apparel logo clearly state that they are manufactured in Lesotho.
Therefore, it is strange that Trump, who has presented himself as a hands-on businessman for decades, would have no idea where his company sources its T-shirts.
Or could it be that he knows Lesotho, and some of his merchandise comes from there but feigns ignorance for strategic reasons?

😁6😈5✍1
Continued……There is a good reason why Trump wouldn’t want to be associated with his company’s Lesotho business. Precious Garments, the Lesotho-based company that manufactures the Greg Norman apparel, had been cited for appalling working conditions characterised by physical abuse, low wages and long working hours. In 2024, The Dial, a cultural and political magazine, reported supervisors subjected Precious Garments workers to strip searches at the end of every shift. The workers, who earned an average of $140 per month, reported supervisors regularly hitting them and calling them demeaning names. Some have called out the company for trying to disrupt or weaken the power of trade unions by targeting union leaders, allegations confirmed by a 2023 US State Department report.
Trump claims to be ‘America First,’ but his company outsources apparel production to countries such as Canada, China, Indonesia and Turkey. Plus, in 2022, a US trade agency fined a pro-Trump Utah company for switching out tags that said ‘Made in China’ to those that said ‘Made in the USA.’
Could these allegations be why Trump feigns not to know Lesotho?

STATUE OF LIBERTY IN CHAINS: HOW U.S. LIES TO WORLD
Did the United States erase the original message of the Statue of Liberty? According to research done by Joy DeGruy (@dr.joydegruy on Instagram, @drjoydegruy on X) - author of the book, Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome - the original design of the Statue of Liberty featured ‘Lady Liberty’ holding chains in her left hand. However, the design’s homage to the abolition of slavery made elements within the United States uncomfortable. In this clip from the Vault Empowers podcast (@vaultempowers - Instagram), Dr. DeGruy reveals how she discovered the chains and shackles on the feet of the Statue of Liberty and why she believes the original design was changed to keep the chains hidden.

TRUMP TARGETS CUBA’S MEDICAL INTERNATIONALISM
US Senator Marco Rubio has targeted Cuba’s long-standing medical internationalism program, imposing visa restrictions on Cuban officials based on allegations of forced labour. The US government claims that Cuba exploits its doctors by sending them abroad under coercion.
However, Cuba insists that its medical missions are voluntary and driven by a commitment to global healthcare. This carousel takes a look at the impact of Cuba’s programme.
Cuba has dispatched doctors to some of the world’s most vulnerable regions for over six decades, often providing more medical aid than the wealthiest G7 nations combined. Countries such as Haiti, Algeria, Ghana, and South Africa have benefited from Cuban medical expertise, with doctors offering critical healthcare services and training local medical professionals.

Continued…….. In Haiti, Cuban doctors played a crucial role in disaster relief after the 2010 earthquake, while in Algeria, Cuba has supplied medical aid since 1963. Similarly, Ghana and South Africa have relied on Cuban doctors to bridge healthcare gaps, especially in rural areas.
Despite Rubio’s claims, Cuba argues that its doctors participate willingly and that the revenue generated supports its public healthcare system. Cuban officials maintain that their doctors serve humanitarian and economic purposes, helping sustain Cuba’s hospitals and clinics.
Critics also accuse the US of hypocrisy, pointing to its use of poorly paid prison labour that some call ‘slavery.’ Based on US history, Rubio’s push seems aimed at undermining Cuba’s influence while the island nation continues to be a global leader in healthcare and genuine solidarity.
