Seen today in London where over 800,000 marched for Palestine despite British Home Secretary Suella Braverman inciting the far-right by calling pro-Palestine protests ‘hate marches’.

MALEMA BLASTS ROYAL-LOVING RUTO

Kenya’s red-carpet treatment for King Charles has been blasted by South African politician Julius Malema. The leader of the EFF party said it betrayed the spirt of the Mau Mau who bravely fought against British colonial rule. He also tore into President William Ruto’s u-turn on election pledges such as de-dollarisation.

You’ve gotta hand it to Malema who made the damning speech at the recent launch of the Pan African Institute IN Kenya. Never one for holding back, he sticks it to Ruto who's cast himself as a champion of the African cause. Ruto has recently come under sharp criticism for being the Black face of U.S imperialism. His active stance against a revolutionary coup in Niger that kicked out French puppet Mohamed Bazoum outed Ruto as a western sympathizer. He later on agreed to send Kenyan police to Haiti to help ‘maintain stability’ and tackle gang violence, at the request of the United States.

Continued….It's not even a contest but who do you think has the continent’s best interests at heart. Ruto or Malema? Let us know below.

DR KING ON THE BOOTSTRAP MYTH

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., civil rights legend, political philosopher and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, delivered his final speech on 31 March 1968 at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, in the United States. He debunked the myth of the bootstrap philosophy, which says anyone could succeed in the United States by working hard and 'pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps.' Dr. King said this myth overlooked the historical and structural barriers that hinder many Africans in the United States from achieving economic and social equality. He gave examples of how the US government had helped white people advance through policies, such as land grants, subsidies and preferential treatment, while denying the same opportunities to Africans. Dr. King demanded a radical redistribution of economic and political power to address the root causes of racial injustice.

Let us know if his words still apply.

AFRICAN STREAM FIERCELY DEBATES ISRAEL-PALESTINE

While we vehemently condemned the Israeli bombing of Gaza - the war has still sparked debate in our office.

In this video, African Stream’s CEO Ahmed Kaballo and African Stream’s operation manager Erick Gavala battle out their differences over the Israel - Palestine conflict on camera. It gets heated, but rest assured, the guys are still the best of friends and colleagues. We even debated about doing this and are still questioning if it was the best of ideas. Let us know in the comments what you think. But despite the feisty exchanges between Ahmed Kaballo and Erick Gavala, one thing is always evident. Nothing justifies the current apartheid and suffering the Palestinians are facing.

‘HATS OFF’ TO COLONIALISTS FOR PAUSING WWI?

On Remembrance Sunday in the UK we look back at the time enemies Germany and Britain joined forces midway through WW1 to quash what was perceived as a greater threat - the African uprisings led by John Chilembwe in modern-day Malawi.

PALESTINE REVEALS WESTERN HYPOCRISY

We Africans have long known that the West’s ‘rules’ go out of the window when dealing with us (think Libya). The same is true for Palestinians, whose oppression by Israel reminds us of the way we have been treated throughout history. Here, in a passionate speech, Palestinian legal scholar Noura Erakat points the finger at Washington - for aiding and abetting Tel Aviv’s catastrophic bombing of Gaza, and making a mockery of the supposed universality of its rules-based order.

SARKOZY ADMITS EUROPE’S BARBARISM

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy admitted in March of this year that Europe is the most brutal, savage and barbaric continent in the world, where the worst wars and crimes have occurred. That is not far-fetched considering Europe's history with Africa, where it has colonized, enslaved, exploited, and killed millions of people.

However, Sarkozy ignores his role in the 2011 military intervention in Libya, which he led with former British Prime Minister David Cameron and former US President Barack Obama. They bombed that African country to overthrow and kill Muammar Gaddafi, the former leader. The intervention in Libya was disguised as a humanitarian mission when, in reality, it was for political and economic reasons.

Continued……This catastrophe ruined the most prosperous and stable country on the continent. Libya had the highest human development index and the lowest poverty rate in Africa. The invasion caused a humanitarian crisis, as hundreds of thousands of Libyans and other Africans fled the violence and chaos. Many were tortured, raped, and sold in detention camps or slave markets. Africans can only agree with Sarkozy’s admission, based on past and recent history, but Sarkozy is not a friend of Africa or Africans. Nevertheless, like most European leaders who commit crimes on the continent, these three former leaders have not been held accountable for the violence brought to Libya.

NEW FILM EXAMINES NAMIBIA GENOCIDE

Considered one of the first genocides of the 20th century, what occurred in Namibia isn’t often spoken about. In fact, when people think of ‘the Holocaust,’ the one Germany waged in the southwestern African country in the early 1900s isn’t considered. Yet, the empire unleashed an extermination campaign against the Herero and Nama peoples in Namibia, resulting in more than 90,000 deaths that has caused a ripple effect of transgenerational trauma.

A new German film, ‘Measures of Men,’ attempts to honour the pain of the Namibian people by highlighting the atrocities of the German empire.

Grab some popcorn and let us know what you think of this film.
