Thousands of Congolese have yet again protested against the occupation of their country by the UN peacekeeping mission MONUSCO which has spent 20 years presiding over violence, carnage, resource looting and sheer corruption, silently complicit in all. The UN mission has facilitated ineptitude of its stated mission to keep the peace.Yesterday the MONUSCO HQ in Goma was torched. Today a number of protestors and blue helmets died

Starving us into submission under Climate Tyranny. Dutch farmers protest massive land grab disguised as a so-called Nitrogen crisis. Same in Canada under Trudeau who tried to steal money donated by the public to the truckers of the Freedom Convoy. Bill Gates is now the biggest land owner in America

The coins are expected to act as a ‘store of value and to reduce the demand for US dollars’ – something that has been blamed for the weakening value of the local currency.
African Countries move ahead with New Currencies: The Case of Gold as Currency in Zimbabwe
On By Dr. Y. In Great Economy

It is no secret that prices are high everywhere: at the gas pump, at the food store, rent, prices are going up and up, affecting everyone and making those who are poor even poorer. Many African countries are trying to find ways to alleviate inflation. Zimbabwe is one such country.
Robert Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe
It is no secret that Zimbabwe has been going through an economic embargo for many years. Many thought, the traitors who toppled Robert Mugabe, that by getting rid of him, the economy would be better and all the embargo restrictions placed by the UK, US, and EU would be lifted… Lesson to traitors: it never works as planned! Five years on, and Zimbabwe is no better, even though Mnangagwa has signed all sorts of deals with the westerners [Is Zimbabwe the New Haiti?]and returned land [Zimbabwe to Return Seized Land to Foreigners]. Well, as I was saying, it is no secret that inflation is particularly high in Zimbabwe and has been for many years.
African Countries move ahead with New Currencies: The Case of the Sango Coin of CAR

As the economy everywhere appears to be in free-fall, with high inflation all over the world, many African countries are taking measures that will help their citizens deal with and hopefully solve some of their internal issues.

One such example is that of the Central African Republic (CAR) which adopted Bitcoin as a National Currency last April. This past Sunday, CAR President, Faustin-Archange Touadéra, announced in an online event the creation of the Sango Coin and a zero-taxation “crypto-hub“, the first in Africa. The currency is named Sango after the main African language spoken in the country. This currency will, via the a platform called Crypto Island, allow the country to trade in its vast natural resources (diamonds, uranium, gold, and other minerals). Until now, CAR has been, like 14 other African countries, enslaved by the French colonial tax that is the FCFA which served at one point to ‘siphon’ up to 75% of the countries’ resources directly back to France [Africa is funding Europe!]. It is clear that those African nations need new currencies, and we salute CAR for having the courage to start, even though crypto seems to be unsteady at the moment (like everything else at the moment); it is always scary to be a pioneer, but it is rewarding as well! As a side note, the west tends to overlook, or vilify some of our leaders who try to stand up or do things right for their people. President Touadéra is one of those African leaders who has been demonized for his want to free his country from the French chains, turning to Russia for help in stopping a war in his country which benefited France and its croonies. Rarely do the Western media highlight the fact that President Touadera is also a trained mathematician, and in his free time still teaches students at the University of Bangui in his country.
Undeterred by the turmoil hitting crypto, the Central African Republic (CAR) — one of the poorest and most troubled countries in the world — has unveiled plans to launch its own digital currency.
President Faustin Archange Touadera, in an “online event” on Sunday, announced CAR would create the Sango Coin and a zero-taxation “crypto-hub“, the first in Africa.

The Great Game: The Collapse of the Neoliberal Order and the History of US-China Relations
6 July 2022
In this week’s episode of the Great Game, Matt, V and CJ discuss the ongoing collapse of the liberal world order, and the rise of the anti-liberal multipolar alliance. A deep dive into the historic roots of US-China relations is explored at length as well.
In an interview with OBN Future Africa we covered the following:
Realizing people driven development and the African dream
Is the African Union fulfilling its role of building continental cohesion and solidarity
Food security and agriculture systems
Foreign investors seeking resources not markets
Peace and security to achieve agricultural transformation
Why does Africa still export its raw materials
And most importantly: “As most African countries are non industrialized, what are the strategies to speed up industrialization of the continent?” In answer to this question [ at 26:33 ] I show the true scale of Africa and how this is affected by EUROCENTRIC energy policies imposed on the continent
The pain of living with the bullet that killed Nokuthula Mabaso
5 July 2022
Abahlali baseMjondolo press statement
The pain of living with the bullet that killed Nokuthula Mabaso
Today it is exactly two months since Comrade Nokuthula Mabaso was murdered in the evening in the eKhenana Commune. Nokuthula was attending a community meeting in a community hall just a few meters away from her house when she was shot and killed.
Nokuthula was a state witness to the killing of Ayanda Nglia who was murdered in broad daylight on the 8 March. The following day Khaya Ngubane the alleged killer was due to appear in court and fight for his bail application after he had been arrested for an attack on a resident of the commune. On 11 March Siyabonga Manqele was shot and killed by the police in the nearby eNkanini settlement, during a police raid.
The police refused to come to eKhenana when Nokuthula’s body was lying on the ground, despite confessing that the they had heard a gunshot. Comrade Bonono had to drive and physically fetch the police. As they did not bother to thoroughly examine the crime scene one bullet remained on the crime scene and was picked up by a community member the following morning. The bullet was brought into Abahlali offices so that it could be safely handed over to the Investigating Officer. It is very concerning that since the day of the murder the police have not investigated this murder. Up until today there is no Investigating Officer allocated to this case. Up until today there is no case number for that matter. Our attorney has been told that the police are taking leave and up until then there can be no investigation of this matter. This is the price of being a poor black woman in this country. Your life does not count to the state.
