🚨🇸🇳 Senegal enters political turbulence again.

President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has sacked Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and dissolved the entire government amid growing tensions inside the ruling alliance.

The crisis comes as Senegal struggles with a debt shock and frozen IMF bailout talks after hidden debt pushed the country’s debt level to 132% of GDP.

Sonko, once the face of Senegal’s anti-establishment movement had warned he could return to opposition if the government abandoned Pastef’s agenda.

Now the alliance that swept to power in 2024 is showing cracks.

🚨🇬🇳🇨🇳 Guinea is becoming a new frontline in the global resource war.

China’s state-owned giant Chalco will invest $1 billion to build a major bauxite refinery in Guinea — signaling Beijing’s long-term push to lock in aluminium supply chains across Africa.

Why it matters:

🔸 1.2 million tons annual refining capacity
🔸 Guinea receives a free 5% stake
🔸 Option to expand ownership to 35%
🔸 Africa holds 29% of global bauxite reserves — but less than 1% of refining capacity

For decades, Africa exported raw minerals while others captured the industrial profits.

Now Guinea wants the refining, jobs, and strategic leverage too.

A Florida teacher was fired after hanging a Black doll by the neck in class using a cord wrapped around it

According to students, teacher Karen Savage (sic!) grabbed the doll from a student and, while ‘nobody was paying attention,’ hung it from a television inside the classroom

‘Everybody started telling her it was wrong and racist to do that,’ 14-year-old student Carter said

Students say the teacher then claimed it was ‘just a joke’ before taking the doll down

The incident happened at Barrington Middle School in Hillsborough County

One student also said the teacher followed him after he tried reporting what happened

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says it’s now “50/50” between a new Iran deal… or a new war.

According to Axios, Trump will meet top envoys to decide whether Washington moves toward diplomacy, or resumes military strikes.

Behind closed doors:
Pakistan, Qatar, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are all scrambling to prevent another regional explosion.

Iran says talks are entering the “final stage.”
But Washington still demands limits on uranium enrichment and full control over nuclear stockpiles.

Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz remains at the center of the crisis.

If negotiations collapse,
the world could be hours away from another Middle East escalation.

Trump’s warning:

“Either we sign a good deal… or I hit them harder than ever before.”

🌍🤝 MIDDLE EAST DIPLOMACY INTENSIFIES – Egypt & Qatar Push for Negotiation as Trump Prepares to Decide: Deal or War

A flurry of diplomatic activity, a draft memorandum of understanding, and a high‑stakes call with Gulf leaders – the region holds its breath.

· 🇮🇷🇵🇰 Iran submitted two draft proposals to Pakistan: opening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for US compensation; sanctions and frozen funds must be addressed before any agreement.

· 📝 Memorandum of Understanding reached (Iran source to Al Jazeera): includes ending the war, opening Hormuz, withdrawal of US forces.

· 🗣️ Iran’s FM spokesman Baghaei: “No one should bring threat messages to Iran.” Opinions have been getting closer – finalisation expected in the next 3‑4 days.

· 🇺🇸 Trump to decide by Sunday – meeting with Witkoff, Kushner, Vance to discuss Iran’s response. “One of two things will happen: either we hit them harder than ever, or a good deal.”

🇸🇾🇮🇱 ISRAEL’S SYRIA PLAY: Fueling Separatism in Sweida & Alawite Coast

While the world watches Iran, Israel quietly dismantles Syria – province by province.

· 🏛️ Druze leader Hikmat al‑Hijri renews his call for Sweida to secede into a “Jabal Bashan” state – thanking Israel for its support. No major power backs it. Israel stands alone.

· 📢 Israeli efforts expand to the coastal region – targeting Alawites with media campaigns, recruitment, and Mossad contacts.

· 🕵️ A former Syrian officer met Mossad in the UAE. Young Alawites are recruited – often unknowingly – to compile lists of former Iran/Hezbollah figures.

The playbook: Divide, exploit minorities, expand. The Global South sees the pattern.

🕵️‍♂️💰 US SPY AGENCIES GET $9 BILLION FOR AI CHIPS – Empire’s Intel Crisis

While the world watches war, Washington scrambles to stop its own spy agencies from falling behind – because they can’t get enough advanced chips.

The White House has approved a secret $9 billion request for cutting‑edge chips for the CIA & NSA. The shortage of Nvidia’s superchips is hampering their ability to deploy AI on classified systems.

💻 AI models require enormous power – intelligence agencies are falling behind.

🤝 The contradiction: NSA can keep using Anthropic’s AI, even though the Pentagon designated the company a “supply chain threat.” Chaos.

🌍 The US that blocks Chinese tech is now caught in its own chip shortage.

BRICS builds AI for development – not just for spying and killing.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING: TRUMP ANNOUNCES US-IRAN DEAL AS “LARGELY NEGOTIATED” – Strait of Hormuz to Open

The US president just dropped a bombshell: after calls with Gulf leaders, Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, and Israel – a memorandum of understanding for peace with Iran is being finalised. The Strait of Hormuz will be reopened.

🤝 “An Agreement has been largely negotiated” between the US, Iran, and multiple regional countries.

🌊 “The Strait of Hormuz will be opened.”

📞 Trump spoke with leaders of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain – and separately with Netanyahu.

📌 The Global South watch:

If confirmed, this deal would end months of war, reopen global oil lanes, and freeze – not resolve – Iran’s nuclear file. But the devil is in the details. Is it a genuine peace – or a pause before the next round?

🇷🇺🕊️ RUSSIA WELCOMES POTENTIAL 60‑DAY IRAN-US TRUCE EXTENSION – “Chance to Avoid Catastrophic Collapse”

“The world needs peace to avoid a catastrophic, irreversible collapse.” – Kirill Dmitriev, Russian special presidential envoy.

60‑day ceasefire extension reportedly under discussion between the US and Iran.

📰 FT reports the framework could include:

Phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s destruction or transfer of enriched uranium stockpiles

US easing of the port blockade, sanctions relief, and gradual unfreezing of Tehran’s overseas assets.

📌 Dmitriev’s message:

“The world needs peace to avoid a catastrophic, irreversible collapse.” Moscow sees the extension as a genuine opportunity to prevent further escalation.

🇨🇳🇷🇺🇺🇸 TRUMP VS PUTIN IN BEIJING – China Treated Them Very Differently. Here's Why It Matters.

Trump stayed at the Four Seasons. Putin got the state guest house.
In Chinese diplomacy, protocol is the message.

🏨 The protocol gap — where a leader sleeps in Beijing tells you exactly where he stands. Putin got the state guest house. Trump got a hotel.

📝 The language shift — China replaced "strategic partnership" with the US with a "constructive, strategic, stable relationship." With Putin? The "comprehensive strategic partnership" was reaffirmed in full

📜 What Putin & Xi actually signed — a joint declaration on world politics that Western media buried under Boeing headlines

🔋 Power of Siberia 2 silence — why wasn't it mentioned publicly? The answer reveals more than the announcement would have

🌍 Is US hegemony ending? — or is China simply becoming the new centre of gravity?

🌊📉 WORLD FACES 2008-STYLE CRISIS IF HORMUZ STAYS CLOSED – Bloomberg

The global economy is on the brink. A prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a recession rivaling 2008.

📊 Rapidan Energy Group analysis (via Bloomberg):

Base case (reopens July): Oil demand down 2.6 million barrels/day; Brent peaks near $130/barrel over summer.

Pessimistic case (closed until August): Supply deficit grows to 6 million barrels/day in Q3 – a catastrophic shock.

“Continued oil price spikes would exacerbate financial and macroeconomic vulnerabilities.”

The US‑Israeli war on Iran shut Hormuz on February 28. Tehran blocks “hostile” ships. The world holds its breath.

🇮🇹👶 ITALIAN DEPUTY PM: “Have More Children – or Accept More Migrants” 🚶‍♂️

Italy’s birthrate hit a record low of 1.14 children per woman. The country is aging. The workforce is shrinking. And the solution? Italian Deputy PM Antonio Tajani says: have more Italian babies – or keep bringing in foreign workers.

📉 The numbers: Fertility rate 1.14 (down from 1.18). Stable population needs ~2.1.

🗣️ Tajani: “If we have more children, we can reduce legal migrants. If not, we won’t have any workers.”

No plan offered – just a suggestion. Opposition calls it “absurd.”

The Global South perspective: Europe’s demographic decline is its own doing – low birthrates, aging populations, shrinking workforces. The solution is not to blame migrants but to fix the system. Meanwhile, the Global South’s youth bulge is its greatest asset.

🇻🇪 SURRENDER PIECE BY PIECE: Venezuela Hands Over Alex Saab – The Empire Strikes Again

Six months ago, Venezuela stood as a symbol of Bolivarian resistance. Today, it hands over its own – oil, gold, uranium, and now Alex Saab – to Washington.

🕴️ Alex Saab (Maduro’s financial brain) extradited to the US on May 16 – charged with money laundering.

🛢️ Oil sector de‑sovereignised – US decides who buys Venezuelan oil.

🪙 Gold reserves transferred to the US – financial sovereignty gutted.

☢️ Enriched uranium removed – under “nuclear weapons” pretext.

🇺🇸 Delcy Rodríguez reduced to a “controlled interim leader.”

Six consequences: Maduro no longer runs the country; purge of the old guard; Venezuela becomes an object of US manipulation; subordination to US financial rivals; weakening ties with Russia and Iran.
