Neo-Colonial Interference in Ethiopia :Mikhail Gamandiy-Egorov, Russian journalist

In the new multi-polar world we are living in, the Warlords of Westminster and Washington can no longer dictate policy to free and sovereign countries like Ethiopia . Their colour revolutions and destabilization strategies of supporting rebel militias, minority groups and opposition parties are not working as well as they once were, thanks to the increasing industrialization of African states like Ethiopia, which makes countries less beholden to the IMF. It is the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative ( BRI) and Russia`s offer of powering Africa in the energy sector that are enabling African states to industrialize and regain their sovereign status.

End Hunger and Poverty in Africa by Freeing the Continent From ‘Oligarchical’ Interference

re posted from                  AFRICA AND THE WORLD

Let us encourage all people and leaders of good will to make the eradication of poverty and hunger in Africa a great project of humankind, to be accomplished within the next 20 years. Let us not allow the West to use their calls for “democracy and human rights” as cover for intervention against sovereign nations. The failed policy of Afghanistan should put to an end to the numerous interventions by the West under the mantra of “responsibility to protect-R2P” still be advocated by Tony Blair today.

Development is a “human right.” Ethiopia’s commitment to lift its people out of poverty should be supported; not attacked or threatened as the United States has done.  “

Africa has been victimized by outside powers from the beginning of slavery in the 1400s, through colonization, and over the last six decades from neo-colonialization, through control of international finance. African nations have been prevented from becoming economically sovereign intentionally by a political-financial elite, referred to as an oligarchy.  A deliberate policy of under development is obvious from examining the egregious paucity of infrastructure across the African continent. African nations are not overpopulated, but rather; underdeveloped. The lack of electricity is literally killing Africans. There  are no objectives reason for the level of poverty and hunger in Africa. We can eradicate hunger and poverty through investment in restructure, manufacturing, and agriculture.

Africa`s Future Depends on Adopting Nuclear Power Generation

Dr Kelvin Kemm, world renowned South African nuclear physicist, explains in detail how nuclear energy is derived from uranium, how this process is 100% safe and the most reliable 24/7 , cheapest and greenest source of energy that we have. Africa is vast and hydro-power, wind and solar will not stand up to the climatic conditions or the sheer vastness of distances that the continent presents. The latest nuclear technology, Small Modular Reactors, which are a South African invention, can provide an energy solution to the continent`s needs. Dr Kemm explains why nuclear has a negative image and a great deal more in this highly informative interview with Ethiopian media, Talk to OBN.

Le nucléaire : une part de la réponse à la pénurie d’électricité en Afrique sub-saharienne ?

Le nucléaire : une part de la réponse à la pénurie d’électricité en Afrique sub-saharienne ?

Dans cet article d’opinion, Isabel Bosman, du think tank SAIIA (South African Institute of International Affairs), soutient que, malgré ses écueils, le nucléaire reste une voie à explorer pour combler le déficit d’approvisionnement en électricité de l’Afrique subsaharienne.

Au niveau mondial, l’approvisionnement en électricité est vital. Sans elle, le développement social, économique et humain moderne est impossible. Cependant, il apparaît clairement depuis les dernières décennies que les sources d’électricité ne peuvent rester les mêmes dès lors que les économies sont en constante expansion et que les populations augmentent. La pollution permanente et les dommages à long terme causés par la combustion de combustibles fossiles sont insoutenables, tandis que les énergies renouvelables sont limitées dans le secteur énergétique mondial. Un changement radical dans la façon dont l’électricité est produite est donc non seulement nécessaire, mais attendu depuis longtemps. Dans le contexte africain, l’énergie nucléaire constitue une option viable, notamment en Afrique subsaharienne. En effet, l’énergie nucléaire est personnalisable et peut être adaptée aux besoins spécifiques et à l’infrastructure électrique existante des différents pays, elle complète les sources d’énergie renouvelables et constitue une option plus propre que les combustibles fossiles.

Podcast: Afghanistan’s Belt and Road to Peace and Development

22 August 2021

In this new podcast of the the Belt and Road Institute in Sweden (BRIX) 2021 series, we explore the situation in Afghanistan in the past and present, what went wrong and how the situation could improve to avoid Afghanistan from sliding into new conflicts and wars. Hussein Askary, borad member of the BRIX and Shakeel Ahmad Ramay, founder and CEO of the Asian Institute of Eco-Civilization Research and Development (AIERD) in Islamabad, Pakistan, discuss the lessons learned from the past 20 years of U.S. and NATO operations in Afghanistan, and the implications of intergrating the country into the Belt and Road Initiative on stability, reconstruction, and economic and social development in Afghanistan.

Nuclear Technology can Solve Energy Poverty in Africa : A Presentation by Knox Msebenzi

Nuclear is an ideal partner for intermittant renewable energy. It should be seen as a complimentary energy source not a competitor.”
“It is important to have renewable energy but it is not enough to run an economy.”

21 August 2021

Knox Msebenzi is the Managing Director of the Nuclear Industry Association of South Africa.

48 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have roughly the same installed capacity of electricity as Spain but has 18 times the population size. Over 50% of this capacity is in South Africa.

“Beyond the fear mongering and anti-nuclear rhetoric, the technology provides an opportunity for Africa to address its energy poverty”

Production of Equipment begins for Egypt’s El Dabaa nuclear power plant

12 August 2021

Production of Equipment begins for Egypt’s El Dabaa nuclear power plant: The 2nd nuclear power plant in Africa – Rosatom, the Russian nuclear energy company, has reached an agreement with Egyptian Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy to commence production of the core catcher devices for Egypt’s El-Dabaa nuclear power plant’s units 1 and 2, which is the nation’s first nuclear power plant. The Egyptian Nuclear Power Plants Authority owns the 4.8 GW project, which will include four 1.2 GW Russian pressurised water reactor units. The total investment cost of the project is approximately US$ 30bn, 85% of which will be provided by the government of Russia and the remaining by its Egyptian counterpart through private investors. The first of the three 1.2GW plants is slated to commence in 2026, with the remaining reactors scheduled for commissioning in 2028. The El Dabaa is intended to supply approximately four million Egyptian homes when fully operational, accounting for nearly half of Egypt’s total electricity generation.
