The Illuminaughti The World is Killing Africa To win the Peace we must first chop off their heads! In watching the various videos below about Uganda, Rwanda, Congo, Zambia and an article on Cameroon with the influences of Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, it becomes alarmingly clear that politics takes precedence over human life. Stories are repeated from country to country right across the East down to the South. The way in which the Africans are being treated is abominable, all agencies working in the Aid Industry should be ashamed. Your actions have proven useless and millions have died.  We begin to see that the United Nations are an utter disgrace. The Security Council full of highly paid liars and Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International even Genocide Watch are organizations unfit for purpose. The way to rule the world with absolute impunity is to side with Power be it UN, US or UK followed by such joy to be had from the creation of conflict which, if done successfully, causes Wa...

Al Jazeera 'Head to Head' with Dambisa Moyo  by Al Jazeera: Head to Head Free Actions and Detail Panel   Al Jazeera 'Head to Head' with Dambisa Moyo Tue 12 June 2018, 18:30 – 21:30 BST Free Event Information   Description   IS DEMOCRACY UNDER SIEGE? In this episode of Head to Head , Mehdi Hasan challenges the world-famous economist and thinker Dambisa Moyo, on why she believes liberal democracy is failing, and what can be done to save it. The best-selling author first made waves with her book Dead Aid where she argued that foreign aid was in fact preserving poverty in Africa instead of relieving it. Now the economist is taking on an even bigger target: liberal democracy itself. In recent years, the West has been said to be in crisis: the election of Donald Trump, the UK’s Brexit vote, and the rise of far-right parties across Europe have all been cited by some as evidence of the failures of the current political system. In...

GULU-- Leaders in Uganda's Acholi region have condemned a new spate of killings and evictions of peasant farmers by soldiers and police as the country's U.S.-backed dictator of 32 years Gen. Yoweri Museveni tries to seize land to sell to foreign investors. Uganda receives more than $1 billion in U.S. financial and military aid from U.S. taxpayers' money each year. Even though U.S. Ambassador to Ug...

Book Review: Africa Uprising: Popular Protest and Political Change by Adam Branch and Zachariah Mampilly Jonathan Silver praises the book Africa Uprising: Popular Protest and Political Change by Adam Branch and Zachariah Mampilly for providing fresh insight on the histories and geographies of protests on the African continent. Africa Uprising: Popular Protest and Political Change is a new title from the African Arguments series by Zed Books. In this engaging and accessible book Adam Branch and Zachariah Mampilly seek to provide a sweeping, continent wide response to the global uprisings we have witnessed on the streets of cities around the world over the past few years, reporting of which has often marginalised or excluded the unfolding protests across Africa. Furthermore, as the authors assert, the categorisation of uprisings in North African countries as part of the Arab Spring or of South African exceptionalism should not preclude account...

FATMA CHARFI | THE DEATH of HUMANITY (1955 – 2018) LONG LIVE FATMA CHARFI FATMA CHARFI | HUMANITARIAN FATMA CHARFI | INTERNATIONAL ARTIST The Art of Fatma Charfi is one that was born out of intense sorrow. The origins of her works where instigated by the events that unfolded in front of her eyes, at the time of the first Gulf War, back in 1991. This was a time of great sadness throughout the entire Arabic world. Sitting in her apartment in Bern, Switzerland, she, like so many others, watched the brutal scenes of the bombing on the city of Baghdad. When we met, back in 2006, she recalled that grief-stricken evening with such clarity and described how she watched with tears streaming down her cheeks, the inconsolable horrors of the mass murders inflicted on the innocent people of Iraq. Numb and in shock she stretched out her hand, blindly fumbling to find the hankies in her box of man-sized tissues on her glass coffee table, in the middle of the room. One after another she twisted the t...
