Continued….. With the retreating RSF solidifying its control in the west, more defined battle lines are emerging, raising concerns about a potential division of the country.

This violent conflict has resulted in the displacement of 12.9-million people and left nearly 25 million facing severe hunger, according to the UN. In May 2024, US special envoy for Sudan Tom Perriello reported that up to 150,000 people may have been killed after the first year of fighting, with the actual death toll likely higher due to the destruction of the healthcare system, which has hindered accurate reporting.

BRIT LOBBIES U.S. TO BACK SPLITTING SOUTH AFRICA!

Phil Craig left the UK in 2004 to start a new life in South Africa. He is now at the centre of a secessionist movement seeking to establish a new country - in which Black people are not the majority - at the southern tip of the African continent.

Craig is a leader and member of several organisations advocating for the ‘independence’ of South Africa’s Western Cape province, the country’s most White region. He claims that his movement is not racist but only wants to create a country of people who believe in ‘Western values.’

Many South Africans are now demanding that their government send Craig back to the UK - so that he can go and freely enjoy his beloved Western values.

Throughout Black people’s history in the United States, opposing trends of thought about the best way to address oppression have competed. Here, @HamptonThink reposted @19keys_ on X by commenting on the divergence between greater assimilation into the US empire and fighting for true emancipation and self-determination.

Kwame Ture (formerly Stokely Carmichael) and an organisation he once chaired, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), popularised the term, Black Power, a call for Black people to struggle toward freedom and self-reliance. It identified the ‘white power structure’ as part and parcel of the capitalist system.

Continued….. The Black Power Movement adopted socialist and internationalist politics, connecting with national liberation struggles globally and identifying Black people as an ‘internal colony’ of the United States. Ture also famously stated, ‘The highest political expression of Black Power is Pan-Africanism.’ From then on, many who continued the revolutionary tradition saw themselves as Africans fighting a Pan-African struggle against imperialism.

Meanwhile, ‘Black Excellence’ relies on the misunderstanding that one needs only to pull oneself up by one’s ‘bootstraps’ within a white-supremacist society. Many have used the label to celebrate politicians like former US President Barack Obama, who invaded Libya, and wealthy celebrities like Beyoncé, who largely encourages materialism and celebrity obsession.

Former US President Richard Nixon promoted ‘Black capitalism’ in response to the socialist politics that gained popularity among Black people during the late 1960s and early 1970s. That came after the FBI launched COINTELPRO (standing for ‘Counterintelligence Program’) to infiltrate, surveil and dismantle revolutionary organisations. Both of these phenomena helped shift Black people in the US toward seeking individual success via capitalism.

JAMIL AL-AMIN: U.S. POLITICS IRRELEVANT FOR BLACK PEOPLE

What Jamil al-Amin said 57 years ago is as relevant as if said today.

Still using his government name, H Rap Brown, the former chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, made the case in 1968 for why US elections don’t matter for Black people.

Despite the oppressed having the right to vote, Amin said none of the candidates in the 1968 US presidential election represented their interests, a case that is just as true today. Take the previous elections, where the choice between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump only represented two sides of the same imperialist coin. None of them pushed pro-people policies. Plus, after Trump’s election, he reneged on campaign promises, such as ending endless wars, as seen in his attack on Somalia and Yemen while supplying Israel with more arms for its military onslaught in Gaza.

Continued……Now, what if the president was Black? Amin raised the hypothetical situation in 1968, but it became a reality in 2008. Again, Amin’s premonition stood the test of time. Despite Barack Obama being the first Black US president, he bailed out big banks that caused the 2008 financial crisis, doing nothing for the victims of subprime mortgages, many of them Black.

Since this interview, the US government has imprisoned the 81-year-old Amin twice. A movement is helping to liberate this elder who’s been behind bars since 2000. Visit imamjamilactionnetwork.org and its social media accounts, @FreeImamJamil (IG and X).

HAITI AMBUSH BRINGS KENYAN COP DEATH TOLL TO 3

Kenya’s US-backed police deployment in Haiti has come under increasing scrutiny as the death toll amongst its officers rises, with three now confirmed dead since the UN Security Council-sanctioned occupation began in June 2024. 

The latest fatality, Bénédict Kabiru, was k*lled during an ambush in the Artibonite region while attempting to recover an armoured police vehicle from a ditch. Another officer, Samuel Tompoi, was k*lled in February. Plus, another senior officer en route to Haiti died mysteriously in a US hotel in the same month.

Critics argue that Kenya’s intervention merely supports US interests rather than addressing the root causes of Haiti’s instability. Past foreign interventions, including UN missions, have not only failed to bring lasting security but have led to about 10,000 cholera deaths, plus murders and s*xual violence.

Continued……Haiti’s ongoing crisis stems from foreign interference that dates to its 1804 revolution, where the enslaved ousted French enslavers from the island. France then forced Haiti to pay an estimated $21 billion in ‘reparations’ to former enslavers, which further weakened Haiti’s economy. Since the early 20th century, the US has undermined Haiti’s sovereignty by occupying the country, assassinating leaders, installing governments and looting the country’s resources. 

In the meantime, so-called gang violence reportedly continues to spiral out of control, displacing thousands and worsening food insecurity for more than 5 million, or almost half the country

EMACIATED WAR PRISONERS FREED IN KHARTOUM

The liberation of Khartoum has been celebrated across Sudan. For the men who were being held captive in the capital by the United Arab Emirates-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF), it may have saved their lives. Despite enduring grim conditions and torture and suffering from malnutrition, with some unable to walk, their joy at being freed is palpable in the videos that have emerged online. Many prisoners were not so lucky, dying in RSF captivity. The two-year proxy war is exacting a terrible human cost. After the first year of war, US special envoy for Sudan Tom Perriello estimated that some 150,000 could have been killed. The UN says 11.3-million Sudanese are currently internally displaced, while almost 4 million have fled to neighbouring countries. On top of that, nearly 25 million are facing acute hunger.

THOMAS SANKARA REJECTS FOOD AID

Thomas Sankara (1949-87), Burkina Faso’s revolutionary leader until his assassination, famously stated, ‘He who feeds you, controls you.’

In this 1987 interview, he elaborated on that point by explaining that foreign aid through Western institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), impose conditions on African countries that distract from the path to true independence.

‘Where is imperialism?’ Sankara asked. ‘Look at your plates when you eat. The imported grains of rice, corn and millet? That is imperialism. Let’s not look any further.’

He said food aid creates dependency on imports, keeping African farmers from selling their crops at a fair rate. For Sankara, true food aid came in the form of agricultural tools and technologies that would lead to food sovereignty and self-sufficiency.
