⚡President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine's partners "are afraid of Russia losing the war" and would like Kyiv "to win in such a way that Russia does not lose," Zelensky said in a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent.

Kyiv's allies "fear" Russia's loss in the war against Ukraine because it would involve "unpredictable geopolitics," according to Zelensky. "I don't think it works that way. For Ukraine to win, we need to be given everything with which one can win," he said.

That book was written in 1971 or so. It felt like the author was a prophet. The same issue Africans during colonialism is the same issue we're facing today. Nothing really changed just that the colonialism has been rebranded.

I highly recommend that book or the audio version on Spotify

In a nutshell, Africa remains a warehouse where the colonialists go to pick what's NEEDED to better their lives.

After all said and done, are we that helpless and hopeless to change the narrative?

⚡Georgia President vetoes ‘foreign agent’ law.

“This law is, in its essence, in its spirit, a Russian law, which contradicts our constitution and all European standards, and is an obstacle to the European path.

The veto is legally correct and will be submitted to the parliament today. The law is not subject to any changes or improvements — this law should be abolished.” Zurabishvili said.

⚡Only Finland can lose 20% of its territory and second largest city and then claim to have won the winter war.

The hate and envy will be their end.

They hate to admit that Russia is more powerful.

What is the essence of war if not to take territories??

People die on both sides of the war, territory is all that matters. The people that died, did so fighting for that piece of land.

Russia took Sakhalin, Kuril Islands chain from the mighty Japan yet the west claim it lost.

Russia took Kaliningrad from Germany/Poland.

Russia took Karelia and 20% of Finland yet in western books they say it lost.

Russia took St Petersburg from then superpower Sweden yet they say it lost to Sweden.

Russia took Crimea from the Ottoman Empire. That was the only win they acknowledged.

Now Russia has taken 20% of Ukraine, the second largest country in Europe but somehow it has failed woefully.

They'd rather die than admit Russia is more powerful.

⚡Polish General:

"Not even a million tanks will help Ukraine

Kiev's Western allies must end the conflict with Russia to stop the bloodshed in Ukraine," former Polish Deputy Minister of National Defense General Waldemar Skrzypchak said.

"The biggest disaster that can happen to Ukraine is the continuation of the conflict. No help from the West will help Ukraine defeat Russia," he added.

He is convinced that "not even a million tanks" will allow Kiev to compensate for the lack of personnel and achieve unrealistic goals for the return of territory.

⚡The leader of the Moldovan opposition bloc "Victory", Ilan Shor, has announced a "No to EU accession" campaign.

The referendum on the country's accession to the organisation is scheduled for 20 October.

According to Shor, Europe means ten times higher gas prices, three times more expensive electricity, no market for farmers and no investment in roads. He added that Moldova's way was in the EAEU and with Russia.

"That's why on 20 October we will all come out together and say a firm 'no' to poverty, 'no' to poverty, 'no' to being used in military actions in someone else's interests."

Lagos doesn't have one. In 50 years, if Nigerians keep electing mediocre leaders like we currently do, we will not be competing with countries like Egypt,SA etc. our rivals would be Congo, Togo, Malawi, Niger, Chad etc.

This will be bad cause our population would have doubled by then.


@ the bolded, it's even more surprising because her economy is one of the biggest in Africa. grin grin

As Russia turns eastward, fresh economic opportunities are presenting themselves. The spike in Russia-India trade and new areas of cooperation should not be regarded as a temporary phenomenon. Many other recent partnerships also offer such possibilities.

How do you think this can be achieved.

I believe that if one African can carry out a successful revolution and the right people are elected in power, and things get better for that country other countries will follow.

IMO, Revolution in Africa must start with education,sensitization, seminars etc. Our people are too dumb. They do not know alot of things. Most people don't even know what Nationalism means. An average Nigerian doesn't care about the country. He/she just want to make enough money to take care of himself and his family, grow old and die.

There's no easy way out tbh.

And these real Africans must be overwhelmingly supported by the people, else they won't last.


Ditto: Sankara T.


That's why the Europeans colonizers joined many ethnic groups of different cultures, religion, language to become one country. So whoever is in charge, either you dance to their tunes or they use your fellow countryman to bring you down.

I read somewhere that colonialiam didn't end in Africa they simply handed over to puppets that answer to them.

Whoever grows thick skin is quickly run down with their media and other puppets within govts and the environment and when he or she fights off these mechanisms, assassination straight!

⚡Ex-Hamas Chief Calls on Muslims to Besiege US, Israeli Embassies.

Khaled Meshaal, a former Hamas chief who currently leads the group’s diaspora office, said on Saturday that Israel is continuing to commit crimes in Gaza while relying on US support.

“We call on our Muslim ummah to continue their protest and rage for this aggression to stop and to besiege the embassies of the US and the Zionist regime like a storm,” said Meshaal while addressing a conference on Palestine in the Turkish city of Istanbul.
