Rwanda, the new Fachoda complex between France and Great Britain

8 min read Jayro sanchez 0 comments

The main European states that colonized Africa, France and Great Britain, still want to maintain some kind of influence on the continent. The former has sheltered for decades several Rwandan war criminals involved in the genocide against Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 1994, and the latter maintains good relations with President Kagame despite the fact that his regime has been repeatedly accused of not respecting human rights.

The Oxfam organization has just published a report on inequality in the world, “Inequality SA”, which has the subtitle “A huge concentration of corporate and monopolistic power is exacerbating inequality in the global economy.” A work that brings a lot of light in these days when the media is dedicated to reporting on the World Economic Forum or Davos Forum.

Historically, annihilating purposes are denied and hidden by their protagonists. The Young Turks, or the Nazis, for example, left hardly any declarative and printed evidence of their intentions against Armenians and Jews. Discretion prevailed.

The people who really didn't want to be there were the judges, because in fact it is the judges and the Court itself that are being judged. The fact of genocide is incontrovertible and has been clearly stated. But several of the judges are desperate to find a way to please the United States and Israel and avoid rebutting the current Zionist narrative, the adoption of which is necessary to keep the elite's feet comfortably under the table.

COP28, a “tragedy for the planet”

DAVID SPRATT AND IAN DUNLOP
Up to 100.000 people - most of whom derive their professional status and income from politics, defense and climate-related businesses - flew to Dubai to attend COP28, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention United Nations on Climate Change. And the result? An unmitigated disaster.

In the final session, a weak and incoherent compromise resolution between oil-producing countries and smaller states and climate advocates – which did not call for phasing out fossil fuels – was accepted without dissent.

While Gaza burns, Al-Sisi seeks to relegitimize himself at the polls

While the entire world looks in horror at Gaza, Egypt, the only country adjacent to the martyred Palestinian strip, apart from Israel, is distracted by rather irrelevant elections. Starting Sunday, and for three consecutive days, Egyptians are summoned to the polls to endorse the dictator who rules the country with an iron fist: Marshal Abdelfattah Al-Sisi.

While lobbyists enjoy virtually unlimited access to COP28, climate activists say they are finding it harder to get credentials than in previous years. Add to that the United Arab Emirates' authoritarian and strict ban on protests, and the UN climate summit looks more like what climate scientist Kevin Anderson wrote on social media: “a cabal of producers of oil, not a climate COP.”

Kenya: the Commonwealth's spearhead in Africa

Now, Africa is more important than ever. While in the Caribbean countries like Barbados have taken the step of becoming a republic in 2021 and after the death of Elizabeth II others like Jamaica or Australia are considering doing the same and even leaving the organization, on the African continent the opposite is true.

It is no longer just the former British colonies that want to join, but also other French-speaking countries that are turning to this association, tired of their relations with their former colonial power.

Who decides who is a terrorist?

10 min read PASCUAL SERRANO

PASCUAL SERRANO
After the attack by Hamas on Israel, the hackneyed concept of terrorism has returned to the present, with which it is intended, through this accusation, to disavow some and, through the fight against it, legitimize the actions of others.

It is assumed that, at least the press and journalists, should use language in a neutral way, not conditioned by the bias of certain political powers. According to the RAE, terrorism is “Domination by terror” or “Succession of acts of violence carried out to instill terror.” It is evident that under this consideration we could include many issues that the media never think of calling terrorism.

The end of French neocolonialism in Africa?

On September 16, the governments of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger created the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) in Bamako, the Malian capital.

It is clear that it is not a simple military or security pact. It remains to be seen whether these countries will be able to create an economic agenda that benefits their people and thereby ensure that France has no means to exert its authority over the region.
