US Secretary of State Marc Rubio has reiterated Washington’s offer of ‘asylum’ to White South Africans - whom leading Trump-administration officials, including the president himself, falsely say are being persecuted in their home country.
In the same tweet, Rubio also shared another trope in right-wing circles - namely, that the South African liberation song ‘Kill the Boer’ is an incitement to violence, even to genocide. Stemming from the apartheid era, it’s regularly chanted by South African opposition figure Julius Malema and his supporters.
But far from being a call for the targeted murder of White farmers (the eponymous Boer), it’s a call for completing the project of overcoming apartheid, whose systemic influence (even though the regime itself has fallen) is still felt in rampant inequalities across the country. Indeed, in 2022, South Africa’s High Court ruled that Malema was not guilty of hate speech when performing it publicly.

All forms of belief stem from narratives, and no one has mastered the propaganda war more than imperialists, who use false dissemination of information to control public perception, keeping the masses oblivious to the realities of their oppression.
The rulers used the media during the US Civil Rights Movement to minimise the suffering of Black people, painting resistance movements and their influential figures in a negative light.
On the continent, our revolutionary leaders, such as Winnie Mandela (1936-2018) and Dedan Kimathi (1920-57), were also labelled t*rrorists.
Back then, sources of information were limited to traditional media: Radio, newspapers and TV.
The digital landscape today has transformed how people receive information.

Continued……However, we should not mistake decentralisation for the global elite’s influence waning. For example, former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s false statement that African Stream is ‘secretly funded’ by Russia led to the suspension and ban of African Stream on major platforms.
Thus, even now—when rulers can manipulate algorithms that dictate what we see on our timelines—we must remain vigilant, question narratives and not fall victim to tales that have us loving the oppressors and hating the oppressed, as Pan-Africanist revolutionary Malcolm X (1925-65) famously said.

REMEMBERING SÉKOU TOURÉ
With our continent experiencing a renaissance in pan-African, anti-imperialist sentiment - as embodied in revolutions and new alliances in the Sahel - it’s an apt time to remember Guinea’s founding father, Ahmed Sékou Touré, who joined the ancestors on this day in 1984.
As a child, he attended a Koranic school - before proceeding to a French technical institution in the capital, Conakry, in his teens. However, his stay there was short-lived, as he was expelled less than a year after admission for leading a student protest.
This led him to join the labour market at an early age. His first job was as a clerk at a French-owned company in 1940. He then joined the country’s postal and telecommunications services provider the following year.
In 1953, he helped coordinate a major labour strike, which lasted 76 days and resulted in a significant victory for the country’s workers, who secured a 20% pay rise and a 40-hour working week.

Continued……His track record in the labour sector helped cement his role as an emerging anti-colonial leader. In the 1950s, he won several political offices before becoming mayor of Conakry in 1955 and a member of the French National Assembly in 1956.
He used those positions to mobilise his fellow citizens towards the goal of national emancipation, rejecting attempts by Paris to have the West African nation remain part of the so-called French Community.
In 1958, Guineans voted overwhelmingly to sever ties with France, despite Paris’ threats to end all forms of economic and technical support for Guinea.
Upon becoming president, Touré embarked on a massive economic and social reform programme to wean the country off dependency on the former colonial power.
But his revolutionary exploits went beyond the borders of his homeland. On his death anniversary, we look at his achievements and why he was admired by pan-Africans worldwide.

SUDAN WARRING PARTIES DENYING AID ACCESS TO MILLIONS
With half of war-torn Sudan’s citizens suffering from acute hunger, both sides have been weaponising humanitarian aid - by denying access.
According to the UN, the proxy war has displaced a population that’s ‘greater than the entire population of Switzerland,’ uprooting 12.5-million people. In December 2024, the International Rescue Committee reported that the war had created ‘the biggest humanitarian crisis ever recorded.’
The power struggle between allies-turned-foes started on 15 April 2023. Experts say the exact death toll is hard to determine but is largely underestimated. In May 2024, US special envoy for Sudan Tom Perriello said that, after a year of fighting, as many as 150,000 had been k*lled.

Continued……. According to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine’s Sudan Research Group, by November 2024, over 61,000 people had been k*lled in the capital Khartoum alone. With the battle for the city intensifying (the army recently recaptured the presidential palace and has reportedly just taken back the airport), that number is likely to have jumped significantly.

Starting on 1 April, citizens of the United States and more than 30 other countries planning to visit Namibia must obtain a visa at an airport or border crossing.
The move is widely seen as a response to Western countries' continued refusal to reciprocate Namibia's visa-free entry policy for their citizens.
For instance, the US government locked out all African countries from the 2025 US visa-waiver programme despite many countries on their continent allowing US citizens to enter their territories without visas.

Continued……Further, a proposed US travel ban leaked to the media in recent weeks categorises many countries, including African ones, on a three-tier basis to denote the level of restrictions. More than 20 African countries appear in the second and third categories, where travel would be allowed, but under severe scrutiny and restrictions. However, Libya, Sudan and Somalia are in tier 1, facing a complete ban on travel to the US.
The US has historically discriminated against visa applicants from Africa. In 2017, the Trump administration banned Libya, Somalia and Sudan. According to the Higher Ed Immigration Portal, the US denied 57 per cent of African student visa applications in 2023 compared to 38 per cent for Asians and 8 per cent for Europeans.

BURUNDI PREZ: RWANDA PLANS TO ATTACK US!
Burundi’s President has told the BBC that he possesses ‘credible intelligence’ indicating that neighbouring Rwanda is planning an attack on his nation. Évariste Ndayishimiye further accused Kigali of harbouring Burundian conspirators involved in the unsuccessful coup attempt against the late former president, Pierre Nkurunziza (1964-2020), in 2015.
The two nations, which were once part of the Belgian-administered Ruanda-Urundi colony after World War I and later a UN trusteeship from 1946, have experienced ongoing tensions since their independence in 1962.

🤔6😈3👍1
Continued….. Ndayishimiye’s allegation could be linked to the ongoing war in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where M23 rebels, supported by Rwanda, have seized significant territories in the mineral-rich North and South Kivu provinces, including the major cities of Goma and Bukavu. Burundian forces have been collaborating with Congolese troops, with around 10,000 soldiers deployed to the DRC as part of an East African Community regional force since October 2023. However, many of these troops withdrew in February following the rapid advances of M23, reportedly after sustaining heavy losses.
Additionally, Burundi is facing the challenge of accommodating over 120,000 Congolese refugees, which is putting a strain on relief resources in displacement camps, as reported by the UN’s World Food Programme.
In response, Kigali has labelled Ndayishimiye’s remarks ‘unfortunate.’ Rwanda’s foreign minister, Olivier Nduhungirehe, posted on social-media platform X that the two countries are already engaged in discussions to ease the situation.

GHANA PURSUES MINERS IN ALLEGED U.S. ARMY UNIFORMS
Could Ghana be under the watchful eye of imperialist powers due to its budding friendship with the AES, the Alliance of Sahel States that includes Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger?
This question arises in light of a recent incident involving armed illegal gold miners allegedly blocking Ghanaian forestry officials from cracking down on their operations in the gold-rich Ashanti region’s forestry reserve. Locals refer to illicit gold mining as ‘galamsey.’
Investigative journalist Erastus Asare Donkor (@erastus4lif on X) shared photos on social media allegedly showing these ‘galamsey miners’ dressed in what seems to be US military attire (though there has been no official confirmation from Accra) and armed with military-grade assault rifles. Further reports indicate that forestry officials, along with security forces, have detained several illegal miners and seized weapons and excavators.

On 26 March, a convoy of 20 heavily armed vehicles forced their way into South Sudan First Vice President Riek Machar’s residence in the capital city, Juba.
The country’s Defence Minister and the Chief of National Security personally delivered an arrest warrant to Machar, who also serves as the leader of the opposition party, the Sudan’s People Liberation Movement/Army - In Opposition (SPLM/A-IO). According to a Facebook post by Reath Muoch Tang, acting chairperson for the party’s National Committee on Foreign Relations, the convoy disarmed Machar’s bodyguards. The party split in 2013 from the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement that governs the country.
Tang noted the warrant contained ‘unclear charges.’ However, reports indicate Machar is under house arrest for alleged complicity in the conflict between the army and the White Army militia in the Upper Nile State in the country’s northeast.
