MALI TARGETS GOLD ROUTES FUNDING SAHEL INSURGENCY

Day 17 of MALI FIGHTS BACK. While the Malian Armed Forces and the Africa Corps grind the JNIM–FLA logistics network into dust across northern Mali — striking gold and lithium nodes from Gao to Anéfis to Ménaka, arresting financing clerics, and rolling out a combined-arms doctrine that has reduced losses to roadside IEDs — Emmanuel Macron is in Nairobi shouting at a Kenyan audience to “shut up” about “respect.” This episode walks you through the verified facts, sourced from the Africa Corps communiqué of 6 May, the African Initiative, ORTM, APA News, Al Jazeera, and Kenyan reporting. We track the Intahaka gold node, the Goulamina lithium story, the European ransom pipeline that fed the Sahel terror economy, the cleric arrested coming from Senegal, the failed Kati double-objective, the soft-target propaganda pivot, the Chad Boko Haram attack at Barka Tolorom, and the Africa Forward Summit insult that should have ended in a shoe and ended in silence.

Macron begins East Africa tour as French influence wanes across continent

Macron begins East Africa tour as French influence wanes across continent

French President Emmanuel Macron has begun a multi-country East Africa tour, visiting Egypt, Kenya, and Ethiopia in an effort to strengthen France’s economic and strategic ties with the region.

Macron started the visit from Egypt, where he met President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for talks on bilateral cooperation and economic relations.

He is expected to travel to Kenya and Ethiopia, where discussions will focus on trade, investment, and regional cooperation.

The tour comes as France faces growing challenges to its influence across Africa, with several countries reassessing long-standing political, military, and economic partnerships with Paris.

In recent years, rising anti-French sentiment in parts of Africa has led to the withdrawal and expulsion of French forces from several countries.

Analysts say France is facing a steady erosion of influence across Africa, as governments and publics increasingly demand more equitable partnerships and a break from post-colonial dependency structures.

Africa remains strategically significant due to its vast reserves of critical minerals and expanding energy resources, making it a key focus of global economic competition.

Kenya’s IMF Dilemma – Balancing Financial Support & Economic Sovereignty: Video Report

As Nairobi considers a new IMF loan to address mounting debt, Budget Controller Margaret Nyakang’o recently cautioned against overreliance on external financing that could compromise national policy autonomy.

US Analyst Says GERD Inauguration Marks a Major Injection of Energy for Africa

 

Addis Ababa, September 9, 2025 (ENA) — Ethiopia has set an excellent example for the rest of the African continent through the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), a new benchmark for regional integration, an internationally respected American analyst, Lawrence Freeman, said.

The dam, with a 5,150 megawatt of hydroelectric power to the East African nation, was inaugurated on Tuesday in the presence of leaders from Africa and the Caribbean.

Freeman, who has visited the Grand Renaissance Dam, had an exclusive interview with ENA at the site of the dam, Guba, Benishangul region of Ethiopia.

For the U.S. analyst, Ethiopia has accomplished a “great feat’ in building this hydroelectric dam.

According to him, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam has several implications for Africa.

The U.S. Claims To Be Embarked on a Global Crusade Against Authoritarianism While It Supports Authoritarian Regimes Like the One in Kenya

In mid-April 2025, President Donald Trump offered support for the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti, which is led by the National Police Service of Kenya.

Financed largely by the U.S., which provides intelligence sharing, communications and air power,[1] the Kenyan police were sent to Haiti last year under an agreement supported by the Biden administration ostensibly to help defend Haitians from criminal gangs.

The World Socialist Website, however, stated that the Kenyan police were actually functioning as “de facto mercenaries [in Haiti]…[and] jailers for a country which has become an open-air prison. The mission seeks to terrorize the Haitian population into submission to ensure the gang crisis does not precipitate a mass outflow of refugees to the U.S. and Canada or serve to destabilize the Caribbean region.”

USAID Funding Boko Haram

All of Africa`s wars and terrorist insurgencies are creations of the Western oligarchy who have determined to keep a state of destabilization on the continent. The career of Major General Barlow is testimony to that. Countless operations conducted by his company were obstructed to ensure the continuation of wars and terrorism

Eeben Barlow: Inside the world of private military contractors – Part 2 | Talk to Al Jazeera

5 Jan 2020

For years, private armies have provided services to governments around the world. They are often secretive and operate in the shadows. Blackwater – now known as Academi – is one of the most well-known private armies. It has provided troops and other services to the US government in different conflicts, including the Iraq war. But it is not always clear how these private armies are formed, where they operate, or even what their missions consist of. Eeben Barlow is chairman of ‘Specialised Tasks, Training, Equipment and Protection International’ – a private army that – according to Barlow – has operated throughout Africa and beyond. He was also behind another similar company that shut down in 1998 – called Executive Outcomes. And while many argue private armies are mercenaries doing the jobs governments do not want to do – Barlow insists his operations are legitimate and follow international law. So who makes sure these armies are indeed following international law? How do they operate? And is there accountability?

Eeben Barlow provides an insight into the world of private military contractors as he talks to Al Jazeera about his company’s role in fighting Boko Haram in Nigeria, the LRA in Uganda and other conflicts across Africa.

Hema-Tutsi Hegemony and Why African Presidents Demand Negotiation with M23 which is the RDF

Hema-Tutsi Hegemony

and

Why African Presidents Demand Negotiation with M23 which is RDF -Rwandan Defense Force

by PD Lawton    14 February 2025

Disclaimer: reference to Hema and Tutsi in this article is solely referring to the elite of these ethnic groups

Recently held EAC-SADC and AU Summits have yielded a resounding caucus of calls for the DRC to negotiate with M23. The spineless, emasculated nature of the African leadership that calls for negotiation with terrorists, is evident. Presidents such as William Ruto are regarded as `snakes` .

Rwanda has increased its military prescence on Congolese territory by 3000 extra soldiers. Rwanda now has 7000 troops in DRC.

Stop calling M23 a Congolese militia group who are `protecting` the human rights of Congolese Tutsi. To repeat such utter nonsence is killing people. M23/ADF are Rwanda and Uganda.

Rwanda and Uganda operate the Hema-Tutsi empire but primarily Rwanda, under its genocidal dictator, Paul Kagame. This Kigali regime is the legacy of the Tutsi monarchy. It has been put in power by Israel, Britain and America to operate destabilization of Eastern Congo and extract its resources on a utopian level of  deregulation for the critical minerals global supply chain.

Hema-Tutsi hegemonic ideology of the Great Lakes is the African parallel of Zionism. Both ideologies are based on racial supremacy and the notion of a God given right to rule. Both have expansionist aims. Zionism has exposed its own genocidal nature in the last 16 months. `Tutsism` is equally genocidal but the West continues to cover its nightmarish crimes perpetrated on the people of the Great Lakes. Both racial supremacist empires exist to destabilize,reap material resource benefits and occupy geostrategic regions in the world on behalf of the Western oligarchy.

Lyndon LaRouche is the late American physical economist who spent his life working to establish a different political and economic order for the world based on a shared humanity. He stated that Zionism was a project chiefly created in the universities of Oxford and Cambridge by which he meant that Zionism is a supremacist ideology created for the use of and control by the British Empire which is a corporatist empire run by and for the Western oligarchy. The ideology of the Hema-Tutsi empire can no doubt, be traced to the same origin as that of Zionism as both work for the same master, the City of London and Wall Street networks.

The Rwandan regime control foreign politicians and exercise control over foreign governments within Central and East Africa by using financial corruption, blackmail and honey- traps. Honey- traps are beautiful Tutsi woman who are used as  spies when romantically involved with men in positions of power. Bill Clinton and his Rwandan mistress is an example of how far-reaching this form of intelligence gathering is.

Rwanda has a malign political presence in the Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo , Zimbabwe, Kenya ,Mozambique, South Africa and of course the DRC.

Rwanda has used financial corruption in Zimbabwe to control President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Under Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe was a genuine ally of the Congolese. The Bank of Rwanda has invested in Zimbabwe using finances derived from the illicitly traded DRC minerals, in particular gold.

Image: President Faustin-Archange Touadéra of the Central African Republic

The Central African Republic has been compromised by using a Tutsi honey trap. President Faustin-Archange Touadéra has a Rwandan Tutsi mistress and a mansion in Kigali. He has permitted the presence of the Rwandan Defense Force ( RDF)in his country but recently has realized the error of his relations with Kigali and has signed an agreement with DRC most likely on the advice of Russia which has been assisting C.A.R in establishing peace and development.

Image: President Denis Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of Congo/ Congo Brazzaville

President Denis Sassou Nguesso is similarly compromised and has allowed a significant RDF presence in Republic of Congo and has allowed Rwandan Tutsi to buy strategic `farmland` along the Congo River. This is how Corneille Nangaa of M23 ( which is the Rwandan Defense Force) to entertain plans of taking Kinshasa. It is through these Rwandan operatives that Kinshasa has been rocked by many of the protests and recent coup.

The government of South Africa has been compromised by the arrangement of the marriage between Ugandan Bridget Burungi and President Ramaphosa`s son, Andile.

True Friends of the Congolese

Image: President Évariste Ndayishimiye of Burundi

Burundi is one of the most beautiful and most peaceful  countries in Africa. It has been treated with murderous cruelty by the West. It has been subjected to sanctions which have inflicted grueling levels of poverty.

The Western intelligence agents like Roger Winter organized the massacres of the 1990`s and put in power the Tutsi governments who were complicit in the massacres that were called Tutsis massacres. They were massacres of Burundians whatever ethnicity. Pierre Nkurunziza took Burundi back from Tutsi control. They murdered him with ricin in 2020 and covered it up by saying he died of Covid.

Burundi are allies of the Congolese people. They suffer under Rwandan terrorism as do the Congolese. Red Tabara is the Rwandan terrorist force that operate in Burundi.

Zambia has remained uncorrupted by Rwandan bribery, blackmail and honey traps. Zambia is supporting Burundi and the Congolese.
