Stand with the countries of the Sahel!

Posted by: John Phoenix The imperialist forces are determined to overthrow the popular military government of Burkina Faso, using their puppet Alassane Outtara, president of the Ivory Coast. The same Ivory Coast that was instrumental in the assassination of socialist president Thomas Sankara in 1987. Since Captain Ibrahim Traore came to power in 2022, the country has embarked on the road to true independence and sovereignty: by creating the Alliance of Sahel States with Mali and Niger, by driving French and American military forces out of its territory, by successfully combating the terrorist forces unleashed on its territory by the West, by regaining control of its mineral resources, notably its gold, and by turning away from the neo-colonial economic agreements imposed by Fra...

By Moussa Ibrahim, Executive Secretary of the African Legacy Foundation, Johannesburg © Getty Images / Harvepino The past few days have offered a brutal snapshot of Africa’s unresolved crisis. In Burkina Faso, militants from Jama’at Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin (JNIM), affiliated with Al-Qaeda, overran the Diapaga military base in the east, seizing most of the city and exposing the precarious state of security in the Sahel. Meanwhile, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the M23 rebel armed group, which has been fighting the government since the beginning of the ...

The Congo under fire from M23 stooges

Posted by: John Phoenix The history of the Democratic Republic of Congo since the country was granted its independence has been one of ruthless imposition of neo-colonialism. Traditionally a neo-colonial set-up assumed a bribed native ruling class organising imperialism’s looting of their country in return for imperialism safeguarding their local power. In Congo this was the case after Congo’s first post-liberation prime minister, Patrice Lumumba, was murdered at the instance of US, French and Belgian imperialism, eventually, after six years of war against Lumumba supporters, being replaced long-term by the renowned kleptocrat, Mobutu. The stability of this system gets upset, however, by the fact that imperialist demands for loot become more and more oppressive. ...

Posted by: John Phoenix Houses of Parliament (Cape Town, South Africa). Photograph Source: I, PhilippN – CC BY-SA 3.0 There is no discourse in South Africa more ancient, more unresolved, and more weaponised than that of land. The passage of the Expropriation Act in South Africa has set the air thick with tension, a moment that peels open the past to reveal its jagged edges. A history that never ended, only submerged beneath the language of legality and market transactions, is once again clawing at the present. The land is not just dirt and fences—it is memory, survival, identity and belonging, resistance, dispossession of labour, the looting of minerals, and the establishment of racial capital. It is the primordial question—older than the Republic of itself. On 23 Jan...
