Introduction In November, 2017, Former Sudanese Pres. Omar Al-Bashir paid a quick and urgent arranged visit to pleading with President Putin “that his country needs protection from the U.S. and could serve as a gateway to Africa for Moscow”. Al-Bashir, speaking at the start of his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, accused the U.S. of fomenting the conflict in Sudan. Al-Bashir added that “we need protection from the U.S. aggressive actions.” [1] What really prompted President Al-Bashir was the fact that he realized that there were secret “Balkanization of Sudan” plan is on the way since…

The West is taking out its anger and animosity towards Islam on Turkey. It is taking out its rage and feelings of revenge towards Turkey on Muslims. It is taking out its vengeance aimed at President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Turkey and Islam. It is building its plans to “stop Turkey” on the objective to “topple Erdoğan.” ‘If we defeated the Soviets, we will defeat Islam as well.’ The “War against Islam” started with the collapse of the Soviets. Israel and the U.S. were a far-right project, which was turned into a global doctrine. It was promoted under the guise…

Another clash begins between the Turkish and French presidents. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday criticised his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to defend his country’s secular values against “radical Islam” as an “open provocation”. This is the third successive day of Turkish anger at Macron’s plan to “liberate Islam in France from foreign influences”, adding to a growing list of disputes between the presidents. Macron last week described Islam as a religion “in crisis” worldwide and said the government would present a bill in December to strengthen a 1905 law that officially separated church and state in France.…

As Amhara nationalism emerges, it should not adopt the same divisive tactics as Ethiopia’s other competing ethno-nationalisms. In Ethiopia’s ever-changing political landscape, one recent phenomenon has been the emergence of Amhara nationalism. Compared to other substate nationalisms, namely, Oromo, Tigrayan, Somali and Sidama, it’s a latecomer. This was not because Amhara people suffered from social, political, and economic subjugation less than others but Amhara identity as we know it today was only constructed in response to a target of repression, with the rise of Derg. The Derg is often portrayed as a continuation of an old ‘pro-Amhara’ imperial system, but its documented history…

“SUBMISSIONS” Re; The political economy of Covid-19  and Africa.By Dr. Bischara Ali Egal “It seems, the more there is written about the causes of the Coronavirus – the more the written analyses are overshadowed by a propaganda and fear-mongering hype. Questions for the truth and arguments for where to look for the origins and how the virus may have spread and how to combat it, are lost in the noise of wanton chaos. But isn’t that what the “Black Men” behind this intended pandemic want – chaos, panic, hopelessness, leading to human vulnerability – a people becoming easy prey for…

“Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.” – Aldous Huxley “History can come in handy. If you were born yesterday, with no knowledge of the past, you might easily accept whatever the government tells you. But knowing a bit of history–while it would not absolutely prove the government was lying in a given instance–might make you skeptical, lead you to ask questions, make it more likely that you would find out the truth.” – Howard Zinn “How we understand history is shaped by when we start the clock.” – Roger Waters Introduction Historical Background The Federal Republic…
