🚨 Lavrov drops a bombshell on France's role in Africa—calling it straight-up imperialism!
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Paris of clinging to old colonial tricks like divide-and-rule tactics that hurt everyday African communities.
🌍 From a BRICS powerhouse like Russia, this critique spotlights the push for true sovereignty in the Global South, where nations are teaming up to challenge lingering Western influences and build fairer trade and partnerships. It's a reminder that African voices and stories are at the heart of this global shift toward self-determination.
⚡ Will bold calls like this finally dismantle neo-colonial chains or is it just more geopolitical chess that Africans have to navigate?

💸 Is the Dollar's Dominance Fading? Africa's Rise May Be Next.
📈 According to renowned US economist Professor Jeffrey Sachs, it's Africa's turn for a major economic boom, powered by a new multipolar world. He told Sputnik Africa that Chinese entrepreneurs are eager to invest, and African nations can secure financing from institutions like the BRICS New Development Bank. Sachs highlighted that the era of the "weaponized" US dollar is ending faster than many think as countries seek alternatives.
💡 Is this the path to true African economic sovereignty, or just swapping Western dependence for Eastern influence?

🚨 6,000 killed in 3 days: why isn’t the world talking about El‑Fasher?
🕊️ A UN report says Sudan’s RSF and allied militias unleashed “shocking” violence in El‑Fasher (Darfur) in late October, with mass killings, executions, sexual violence, abductions, and detentions that may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. The UN documented at least 4,400 deaths inside the city and 1,600 more as people tried to flee, warning the real toll is likely higher.
🔥 If Global South lives mattered equally, what would real accountability look like—and who should enforce it?

RFK Jr. says he ‘used to snort cine off of toilet seats’ on Theo Von podcast – and after that experience he is not afraid of some germs. Well, that escalated quickly
The 72-year-old said he first met host Theo Von during morning recovery meetings and has now been sober for 43 years
After in-person meetings were shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, he said he and others formed a private 'pirate' group that continued to meet
'I said I don't care what happens, I'm going to a meeting every day,' he recalled
'I'm not scared of a germ'

💸 Zambia just made a quiet move that could shake up the dollar’s grip in Africa.
🌍 Reports say Zambia has started collecting taxes and royalties from Chinese mining companies in yuan, then sending that currency back to China to pay for imports and service loans. This isn’t framed as politics as much as survival: easing US dollar shortages, cutting conversion costs, and managing heavy debt—while also giving China’s yuan internationalization push a real-world “test case” in the Global South.
🔥 Smart financial workaround or a slippery slope into deeper dependence—would you want your country paid in another nation’s currency?

A different view on the Indo-Pacific
In the sphere of international economic cooperation and alliance-building, the Indo-Pacific region is somewhat anomalous in that it is frequently discussed and analyzed in the context of blocs such as the QUAD or the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF) (with the participation of developed economies) rather than the South-South trade cooperation potential. A coherent vision of the latter appears to be lacking at this stage and there may be a need to formulate a framework of econ... Read more »

🇯🇵🇨🇳 Japan Picked a Fight With China: Now Its Economy Is Paying the Price
After Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi publicly suggested Japan would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion, Beijing didn’t respond with dramatic headlines or military theatrics. It responded with leverage and the impact is already showing up in Japan’s numbers.
Chinese tourist arrivals fell 45% year-on-year in December. Inbound tourist spending dropped 2.8% in the final quarter of last year, the first annual decline in over four years. Japan’s overall quarterly growth? Just 0.2%. That may sound small, but for a mature economy like Japan, it matters.
China accounts for roughly a quarter of all foreign visitors to Japan and Chinese tourists spend about 25% more than the average visitor. Department stores are now forecasting double-digit profit declines. Airports like Kansai International Airport are seeing the slowdown in real time. This isn’t random, it’s structural.

🟡 JUST IN 🇨🇳 Xi’s message of strength, optimism resonates globally
President Xi Jinping delivered a spirited address ahead of the Chinese New Year, invoking the vigor and resilience of the Year of the Horse and calling on China to advance its journey of modernization. Speaking at a reception in Beijing on Feb. 14, 2026, Xi extended Spring Festival greetings on behalf of the Communist Party Central Committee and the State Council to Chinese people at home and abroad.

Indonesia says up to 8,000 troops will be ready by June for a possible humanitarian peacekeeping mission in Gaza, supporting Trump’s postwar reconstruction plan.
About 1,000 troops could deploy as early as April, pending government approval and international coordination.
Officials say the mission would focus on aid and civilian protection, not combat.

🌍 GENEVA TALKS JUST GOT MORE CRITICAL: Here’s what you NEED to know about Ukraine negotiations
The Geneva round expands FAR beyond Abu Dhabi’s security focus—now covering territories, economic cooperation, AND full sovereignty issues.
Key shifts: Russia’s delegation grew to ~20 (including intel chief Kostyukov!), visas were fast-tracked after US pressure on Switzerland, and Putin’s aide Medinsky leads talks plus RDIF’s Dmitriev on a separate US economic track.
