More and more facts on Ukraine supporting terrorists in Sahel region — Russian diplomat
“The Kiev regime supplies strike drones, and the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate instructors carry out training activities,” Maria Zakharova emphasized
MOSCOW, October 8. /TASS/. More and more evidence of Ukraine’s support for terrorists in Africa’s Sahel region is emerging, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters.
“The Kiev regime’s terrorism knows no borders; it is exploring all areas and regions of the world and carrying out terrorist activities in different countries,” the diplomat said. “More and more terrorist groups supported by the Zelensky regime are appearing in the Sahel region. <…> The Kiev regime supplies strike drones, and the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate instructors carry out training activities,” the spokeswoman emphasized.
According to Zakharova, there is evidence that Ukrainians are organizing and supervising terrorist operations in the Sahel countries, including Niger.
“All of this criminal and immoral activity is also tied to the Ukrainian armed forces’ illegal sale of Western arms and munitions. This equipment has been documented in the possession of terrorists in Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, Niger, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, the Central African Republic, Chad,” the diplomat noted.
UK co-owns UAE-controlled Somaliland port used against Sudan

The UK government reportedly co-owns a strategic port controlled by the UAE in the breakaway region of Somaliland, which is part of a network of Emirati infrastructure used to supply weapons to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that are committing genocide in Sudan.
The United Kingdom’s share in the Port of Berbera is held through the government’s foreign investment arm, British International Investment (BII), which jointly owns the Horn of Africa port with the UAE’s logistics behemoth DP World and the so-called Government of Somaliland.
This is while the UK’s partnership with DP World in Berbera port appears to raise questions about a possible conflict of interest between its commercial activities and its diplomatic gesture as to the ongoing conflict in Sudan, where the UAE is arming the RSF against the Sudanese government.
The UK, like the United States and the European Union, has imposed sanctions on RSF commanders “suspected of atrocities including mass killings, sexual violence, and deliberate attacks on civilians in El Fasher, Sudan.”
While the UAE continues to deny supplying the paramilitary group, which is led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo – better known as Hemedti, evidence, including flight tracking, cargo inventories and multiple official sources in Sudan and beyond, is mounting that the Persian Gulf country is chiefly involved in the Sudan war.
According to diplomatic sources, Abu Dhabi has used what US President Donald Trump has labeled as its “unlimited cash” to exert pressure on London not to call out its role in the Sudan crisis.
British-built military equipment exported to the UAE has been uncovered in Sudan on multiple occasions, and Britain’s extensive commercial relations with the Emirates are under growing inspection.
Experts maintain that Berbera port forms part of a chain of Emirati-owned infrastructure that stretches across the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea.
“The UK cannot credibly call for a ceasefire, accountability, and civilian protection in Sudan while tolerating or participating in regional arrangements that keep armed actors liquid, mobile, and insulated from pressure,” Amgad Fareid Eltayeb, director of Sudanese public policy organization Fikra, said.
A spokesperson for BII claimd it was a minority investor in Berbera’s commercial port, adding that the port was “entirely unconnected” to nearby Emirati military facilities.
BII joined DP World Berbera and the Somaliland as a minority investor in the expansion of the Port of Berbera in early 2022.
The measure was part of a broader partnership with DP World, known as Africa Gateway, to purportedly “support the modernization and expansion of ports and inland logistics across Africa and to improve African trade with the rest of the world.”
The UK and the UAE have other complementary business interests in Somaliland. Both the UK-listed firm Genel Energy and the UAE’s RakGas have licenses to drill for crude oil in the territory, with Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi Irro recently saying that drilling for oil is expected to begin by 2027.
Somaliland is currently at the center of a diplomatic controversy after the Israeli regiome recognized its independence from Mogadishu on December 26. The move drew widespread international condemnations.
Israel’s recognition of Somaliland has raised speculations that Ethiopia could be poised to do the same. Just prior to the highly controversial move, a high-level Ethiopian delegation visited Berbera port and the adjacent Berbera Economic Free Zone.
A few days later, Ethiopia’s foreign minister refused to answer questions about whether his country would follow Israel in recognizing Somaliland.
South Africa`s Economic Collapse: Mafia State or Globalist De-Industrialization Policies? And why is Pres Trump attacking it?
by PD Lawton 10 January 2026
South Africa is very much a part of the City of London`s Empire. It always has been. There are key dynasties that are the facilitators of its policies, including such names as Harry Oppenheimer and Cecil John Rhodes.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12
During Apartheid, South Africa destabilized much of Southern Africa. In Mozambique, it financed and trained RENAMO who fought against the FRELIMO government. In Angola, South Africa financed and fought alongside UNITA against the MPLA government. The purpose was destabilization and followed the orders of Henry Kissinger. South Africans were told they were fighting communism (and yet UNITA was led by a flagrant communist, Jonas Savimbi). South Africa lost many good soldiers in those wars and the country did not benefit from all those border wars in any way. DeBeers (Oppenheimer dynasty) benefitted from the lucrative diamond contract with UNITA and the City of London benefitted through DeBeers. It is said diamonds have paid for all of Africa`s insurgencies and civil wars. Diamonds certainly paid for civil wars in Angola, Liberia and Sierra Leone. It benefits to this day as much of Central Africa, northern Mozambique and numerous other regions remain destabilized. The ISIS operation in northern Mozambique ( Cabo Delgado) is running off the old RENAMO network. (Please read “Mozambique: Common Interests in Conserving Lawlessness and Terrorists Herd Goats” by PD Lawton on this website)
Since the end of Apartheid, South Africa under the ANC government, has continued to conduct an un-sovereign foreign policy. It did not stop destabilizing. Instead it has protected the mining investments of Anglo American – DeBeers and their subsidiaries in Eastern DRC and Mozambique.
South Africa is a safe haven for some of the continent`s most extreme and barbaric terrorist groups such as M23, ADF, Boko Haram, Al Shebab and the LRA. The South African government is fully aware of these groups having `offices` in South Africa, their members regularly coming in and out of the country, of their training camps within South Africa and of the links to criminal networks that fund them and launder their money.
It is for this reason that President Trump has stopped aid to South Africa, humiliated President Ramaphosa and highlighted the plight of the white minority.
USAID money was being `outsourced` to ngos and npos who have funded terrorism instead of countering terrorism:

Donald Trump’s airstrikes in Nigeria are being reported everywhere but key facts are being left out. In this video we explain what actually happened, how the mainstream media is framing these strikes, and what the political and religious implications are for Nigeria and the wider region. Watch to see what the media won’t say about Trump, Nigeria, and the real agenda behind this conflict.
Mozambique: Common Interests in Conserving Lawlessness
and `Terrorists` Herd Goats
by PD Lawton 9 January 2025
this article is Part 7 of a series documenting the rise of Paul Kagame and the destabilization of the Great Lakes. Part 1 is titled `Sun City` which can be found by typing into the search bar
Mozambique`s liberation party, FRELIMO, won the elections last year in October in an apparent landslide win. The party has been in power since 1975. Daniel Chapo will replace President Filipe Nyusi who has served two terms. However, current events are volatile and at the time of writing it appears Venâncio Mondlane from the opposition, RENAMO, will take government.
FRELIMO was declared the winner in 64 out of 65 municipalities and has denied fraud. Post-election protests erupted across the capital, Maputo, and across the country as far up as Nampula Province in the north with numbers of protestors having been killed by state law enforcement. The main opposition party , RENAMO under Venâncio Mondlane, is continuing to call for public demonstrations and is contesting the election results at the Constitutional Court
Image: Maputo anti FRELIMO demonstrators hold placard which reads:`I didn’t vote for the people in power`
Civil unrest, mass demonstrations and the demographics of the young unemployed are not the incumbent government`s only problem as northern Mozambique , completely underdeveloped and with porous borders, becomes the next African region to become ungovernable due to militia terrorism, amid the natural gas and rubies. But is the terrorism in the north a problem for the government or is it not a problem? Do members of the ruling party have common interests in conserving instability and lawlessness in Cabo Delgado Province? And just how strong are these ties of common interest between members within FRELIMO and members within South Africa`s government? Will a change in Mozambican government be any change at all?
Image: Wikipedia : Opposition leader Venâncio Mondlane
It would appear Mondlane has been groomed for his position, riding on the Brand of Mozambican hero Eduardo Mondlane to whom he is related ,and will implement liberal economic reforms on behalf of his foreign corporate groomers who have shares in the LNG project.
Wikipedia is an online information aid that pretends to be unbiased and privately operated, however, it provides `the official narrative`, the victor`s version of events. Like Google it is a Western intelligence -run operation to drive propaganda. A Google/Wikipedia search of Mozambique terrorism provides the following:
“The insurgency in Cabo Delgado is an ongoing Islamist insurgency in Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique, mainly fought between militant Islamists and jihadists attempting to establish an Islamic state in the region, and Mozambican security forces. Civilians have been the main targets of terrorist attacks by Islamist militants. The main insurgent faction is Ansar al-Sunna, a native extremist faction with tenuous international connections. From mid-2018, the Islamic State’s Central Africa Province has allegedly become active in northern Mozambique as well, and claimed its first attack against Mozambican security forces in June 2019. In addition, bandits have exploited the rebellion to carry out raids. As of 2020, the insurgency intensified, as in the first half of 2020 there were nearly as many attacks carried out as in the whole of 2019. Ansar al-Sunna (English: “Supporters of the Tradition”) is similar to the name of an Iraqi Sunni insurgent group that fought against U.S. troops between 2003 and 2007. They are known locally as al-Shabaab but they are not formally related to the better known Somali al-Shabaab. Some of the militants are known to speak Portuguese, the official language of Mozambique, however others speak Kimwane, the local language, and Swahili, the lingua franca language spoken north of that area in the Great Lakes region. Reports also state that members are allegedly mostly Mozambicans from Mocimboa da Praia, Palma, and Macomia districts, but also include foreign nationals from Tanzania and Somalia. ”
The information above is not a clarification of reality. It is a badly hatched intelligence plot which could have been written by a CIA/MI6 under-graduate with a high UN security clearance. It does not reflect reality. It reflects a wannabee plot to justify the raison d`etre of the War on Terror and the latest funneling of liquid cash down the throat of the Western Warlords most distinguished conduit, Paul Kagame, president of Rwanda. It is the script for the next Hollywood film about saving Africa from Africans and the next location for the Anglo American controlled United Nations foreign occupation.
If violence in northern Mozambique spirals out of control, as it is, a UN Peacekeeping operation will be allocated to occupy Mozambique territory. As with MONUSCO , the UN Peacekeeping force in eastern DRC, and the majority of UN Peacekeeping operations elsewhere across the continent, it will remain in place for decades to safeguard this well-known narco route, human trafficking route and region rich in natural gas ,oil , rubies and other resources. Terrorism will continue to create lawlessness and continue to turn the people who live in the region into the next batch of IDPs (Internally Displaced People), refugee pawns for the `human rights` war game on Africa.

Back in Time
Under colonial Portuguese rule Maputo or Lourenço Marques as it was called then, as the capital of Mozambique was a tourist destination for white South Africans and the playground of the Portuguese middle class with jazz bands and later in the 1980s Tom Jones performing at the famous Costa do Sol on the Avenue Marginal. Life was `good for the blessed and short and sharp for the rest`.
Portuguese colonial rule of Angola and Mozambique was long lived and particularly nasty under the government of António de Oliveira Salazar which was finally overthrown in Portugal by the Carnation Revolution in 1974.
Ghana`s formidable Pan African statesman, Kwame Nkrumah, made a curiously interesting point about Portugal during a famous speech given by him on neo-colonialism. He said :
“The imperialist powers that have brought in their vassals, Spain and Portugal, Portugal in fact since the wars of Spanish succession 1700 -1714, being a protectorate of Britain, which has enjoyed special trading and unnecessary rights in both Portugal and the Portuguese territories for over 200 years.”

In a mirrored reflection of the Angolan struggle against colonial rule, Mozambicans were to achieve self-government only to find they would face an extended battle in a foreign instigated and funded civil war, a war which would result in near total destruction of the country`s infrastructure, economy and social cohesion thereby justifying the words of those who would say Africans are incapable of governing successful economies. In Angola, a civil war lasted from the mid 1970s up until the early 2000s. The war claimed millions of lives, Angolan, South African and Cuban.
A private military company, Executive Outcomes, was hired by President Aghostino Neto`s government in the early 1990s to end the UNITA insurgency. Executive Outcomes successfully achieved their mandate however foreign forces, particularly those residing in South Africa, went to inordinately great lengths to re-ignite the war and discredit the reputation of Executive Outcomes. The objective of these foreign forces was to perpetuate destabilization and civil war for as long as possible while reaping the harvest of diamonds for Harry Oppenheimer`s DeBeers.
Resistance to Portuguese colonial rule formed into FRELIMO, Frente de Libertação de Moçambique, under the leadership of Eduardo Mondlane.
Image: Wikipedia: Eduardo Mondlane
FRELIMO was supported by the socialist Non-Aligned Movement and PanAfricanist leaders of the era such as Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Nasser of Egypt, Modibo Keita of Mali and Sekou Toure of Guinea , Patrice Lumumba of Congo, who represented the fordible calibre of leadership of those times.
FRELIMO gained power in 1975 with Samora Machel as the first president. Eduardo Mondlane had been assassinated in 1969 by an explosive device concealed in a parcel delivered to him while in Tanzania. [1]. Samora Machel was assassinated in a plane crash in 1986, brought down by a South African intelligence operation.
By 1976 civil war had erupted in Mozambique with the formation of RENAMO. This civil war, as with that which unfolded in Angola to counter the implementation of peace and prosperity of the elected govenment of Aghostino Neto under the MPLA [2], turned into a protacted and extremely brutal period which only ended in 1992 with the transition in South Africa from Apartheid to democratic rule.
RENAMO, Resistência Nacional Moçambicana, formed in northern Mozambique as a regional tribal interest in securing power in a FRELIMO dominated government, obstensively opposed to their communist ideology. Taken in the context of other African liberation stories it is most likely the case that Ian Smith`s Rhodesia took foreign funding to help form RENAMO as part of the Cold War playbook, pitting opposing forces of Western democracy and Russian communism against each other, both ulitimately stemming from the same source as the City of London bankers financed the Bolshevics and Karl Marx. Tiny Rowland of Lonhro would have played a similar role as his role in Angola.[3] Rhodesia ( now Zimbabwe) was also backing RENAMO as the FRELIMO government were harbouring and supporting Robert Mugabe`s ZANLA , Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army. Apparently Samora Machel disliked Mugabe and called him out as a CIA asset.
In the South Africa of the 1980s with the South African Border Wars in full swing in Angola and South West Africa ( now Namibia), it was common knowledge that South Africa was running RENAMO. [2]
In 1992 the Rome General Peace Accords were signed between FRELIMO and RENAMO.The Catholic Church of Rome were responsible for brokering the peace negotiations. Northern Mozambique continued to remain underdeveloped by the Maputo orientated FRELIMO government.
And all became quiet in northern Mozambique for awhile.
Fast Forward to Natural Gas
In 2009 oil prospectors from a Texan company , Anadarko, declared the discovery of one of the world`s biggest reserves of LNG natural gas off the coast of Cabo Delgado, northern Mozambique.
Anadarko , having spent billions on prosecting, procuring and construction of facicilities sold its stake in the venture to Total Energy according to this Reuters article dated 2019:
Anadarko has agreed to be taken over by Occidental Petroleum Corp. Anadarko led a liquefied natural gas project in Mozambique, but was replaced by Total after the French oil major agreed to buy Anadarko’s African assets for $8.8 billion as part of the Occidental takeover. Total will be the main operator of Mozambique LNG with a stake of 26.5%. ENH Rovuma Área Um, S.A. will own 15%, Mitsui E&P Mozambique Area1 Ltd will hold 20%, ONGC Videsh Ltd, Beas Rovuma Energy Mozambique Limited and BPRL Ventures Mozambique each have 10%, while PTTEP Mozambique Area 1 Limited will have 8.5%.
In 2013 RENAMO discarded the peace agreement blaming a Mozambican military attack on their headquarters. Out of the blue RENAMO re-immerged in shiny new uniforms with shiny new weapons.Who supplied the new equipment for the re-invention of a militarized RENAMO?
In 2020 Al Jazeera conducted an extensive interview with the founder of Executive Outcomes, Major General Eeben Barlow who can undoubtably be considered the African who knows more than any other about the foreign backed insurgencies that have, and continue to plaque the continent. He has been described as the nemesis of the Warlords of Westminster and Washington:
Major General Eeben Barlow
Interviewer: “ But what happened to that progressing and once progressing and relaxed country like Mozambique , I mean it was stable and progressing and peaceful. Why such an influx of pmcs ( private military companies)?
Eeben Barlow: “ Ironically they dicovered oil and gas. It doesn`t take rocket science to figure out that any country that discovers oil and gas is suddenly going to find themselves under severe threat from many quarters as people try to claim that oil and gas for themselves. We see Mozambique shortly after the oil and gas discovery was announced , a previous liberation movement known as RENAMO suddenly reappeared with new equipment and new uniforms. Where did they get that from? “
Interviewer: “ Where do you think they are getting that from?”
Eeben Barlow: “ Well, we can only speculate on that, so I don`t have the proof of that butit doesn`t take rocket science to figure out who was up there when the oil and gas was discovered .”

ISIS in Africa : Recycling Africa`s Mercenaries
In 2020 Tanzanian authorities apprehended 600 mercenaries en route to the DRC. They were Eritreans, Somalians and Ethiopians, seasoned fighters, spill-overs from Al-Shebaab, Boko Haram and the TPLF.
The fundamental that one must remember is that the ADF ( Allied Democratic Forces) that are operating in North Kivu and Ituri provinces of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo are solely comprised of foreigners who are Islamic extremists and who conduct acts of terrorism on the local Congolese populations that are so extremely barbaric in nature that they defy words. The acts include amputations, mutilations and cannabilsm. South Africa is fully aware that ADF members routinely cross its borders and in effect operate from with the Republic of South Africa.Evidence of this is in the multiplication of miliary training camps in remote parts of the country with their existance coverered up by the State.
Video: BizNews TV :Acquitted SAPS whistleblower reveals secret military training camp cover-up…
In Mozambique in 2017 an insurgency of Islamic militants emerged in Cabo Delgado Province calling themselves Ansar al-Sunna. Their purpose is to terrorize the local population whereas their scorched earth policy does not apply to resource extraction. Ansar al-Sunna have never attacked the LNG project. Since 2017 over 1 million Mozambicans have become IDPs, Internally Displaced People. Over 4000 people have been murdered, many by the most grotesque acts of be-heading and cannibalism. In 2020 , three videos were circulated on social media. The first was of a woman, stripped naked, walking in front of a group of soldiers, they are interrogating her as she walks, naked. She turns to them and they shoot her point blank in the head, naked. The second showed an attack on a bus moments after it occurred. A young man lurches towards the person filming, vomiting blood before he collapses. The female passengers on the bus lie dead and dying with their clothes torn, their underwear showing, the foot well of the bus driver`s seat is a pool of blood. The third shows a man speaking in Portuguese to the person filming. He is surrounded by mutilated and beheaded bodies. He bends down and hacks off the arm of one of the men lying at his feet . [edit: the third video is more like ADF [ Allied Democratic Forces} in DRC]
In late 2020 when violence spiked, 50 local people were taken to a football ground and be-headed.
“Observers say the evolution of the insurgency in Mozambique is remarkably similar to Boko Haram’s emergence in northern Nigeria, with a marginalised group exploiting local grievances, terrorising many communities, but also offering an alternative path for unemployed youths frustrated by a corrupt, neglectful and heavy-handed state.”
The FRELIMO government has attempted to downplay the terrorism occurring in the completely under developed and neglected north. However the former president Nyusi made a recent speech in which :
“Mozambican president Filipe Nyusi warned on Friday that terrorism could divide the country, advocating that everyone unite to fight rebel groups in Cabo Delgado province, in northern Mozambique.”
One wonders if Nyusi has become concerned that the monstrosities his government has allowed to take place is now becoming a threat to FRELIMO power. Recent post election events are proving this to be the case. However, the FRELIMO government has fulfilled its duty and turned the insurgency into a regional problem. Since July 2021 South African Development Community forces and the Rwandan Defense Force have been operational in the area.
Come Join the Party. Giving Kagame Something to Fight
“Mozambican President, Filipe Nyusi, on Monday called again for arms support from the European Union (EU) to combat terrorism in Cabo Delgado.
“That support for Mozambique is not limited only to non-lethal [equipment],” given the need to make “the defence and security forces more robust for combat intervention,” Nyusi urged on the sidelines of the opening of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly, meeting in the Mozambican capital, set to run for the next three days.
The head of state also asked that financial support already allocated by the EU for military support for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) ) should also be granted to Rwanda, which also supports Mozambican troops in Cabo Delgado – particularly in areas to which the country wants the return of natural gas projects.
The EU announced in early September the allocation of €15 million for the SADC Mission in Mozambique (SAMIM), notably for field fortifications and storage containers, medical equipment, vehicles and boats, as well as technological devices.
This instalment complements an €89 million funding to Mozambique’s armed forces aimed at equipping the units being trained by the EU mission in the country.
Terrorism is one of the issues on the agenda of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) assembly and the EU, and MEP Carlos Zorrinho, co-chairman of the assembly, had already announced in his speech that the EU would take further steps to support Mozambique in Cabo Delgado, without giving details.
He said that the delivery of lethal weapons “is not normally” in the EU’s support package, “but there are many ways of helping and cooperating, without necessarily having to supply weapons”.
Mozambiquans deeply resent the presence of Rwandan forces in their country. A video on Tik Tok shows local people in their numbers blocking a road in Bobole, Maputo Province, to stop the Rwandan military vehicles from entering the town. People are shouting “Get out Rwanda! Go back home to Rwanda! ”

Home Grown or Implanted ?
A video conference held in 2021 by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies is an example of UN policy which is to deliberate a crisis for long enough to allow the situation to escalate and the region to become ungovernable.
“For Hanna Tetteh, the priority should be to “be able to understand what the challenges within the Cabo Delgado region are and how we are going to support the Southern African Development Community (SADC), which has demonstrated that it wishes to take leadership of this issue. The support has to be given by bringing “the political tools to bear to try and create solutions within those regions and deal with some of the governance deficits that they have – lack of service provision, challenges with inequality – and, of course, at the same time, to provide a humanitarian response.” She emphasized.”
At the time of this CSIS meeting the Nyusi government had already received a proposal to resolve the insurgency in Cabo Delgado by an organization with a track record of success, an organization that is more accomplished than any foreign private military company such as Wagner at resolving insurgencies on the continent because it is an African private military company, Executive Outcomes. In its own words :
“Executive Outcomes is an apolitical South African-based and African-staffed company that gained international recognition for assisting and advising Africa governments―over a period in excess of 40 years―to decisively and effectively combat armed threats to their sovereignty.”
The proposal is in a document titled:
PRE-PROPOSAL DISCUSSION DOCUMENT : AN APPROACH TO DEFEATING THE ISLAMIST INSURGENCY IN NORTHERN MOZAMBIQUE, 3 November 2020.
It was handed to The Defence Attaché, Colonel Simon Zengeri in Pretoria, South Africa.
Not only was the Nyusi government in receipt of this workable proposal but the proposal came already financed by a philanthropic organization.
And yet the Nyusi government did not accept the proposal and acted instead in accordance with its co-criminal allies and hired a Russian private military company and a SADC force that were set up to fail resulting in the use of the Rwandan Defense Force for which Paul Kagame`s Rwanda has been awarded millions by the European Union for its defense budget.
As things stand today the foreign backed insurgency in Cabo Delgado Province has indeed resulted in the destabilization of northern Mozambique, the downfall of the FRELIMO government , the obstruction of the development of the new gas and oil industry for the benefit of the State, destroyed a good and developing tourism sector , driven off foreign investment and cost the lives of thousands and suffering of a million and more people.
The media, and FRELIMO government, intentionally push the point that the Islamic insurgency in the north is a result of poverty and under development, that it is `home grown`. Such a narrative normalizes the existence of cannibalistic terrorists, as if somehow local Mozambicans could become so radicalized that they could turn upon each other and perform acts too grotesque for words. The insistence that radical Islam is being normalized, routinized is a cover story , a very dangerous cover story that has only one purpose and that is acceptance. It is desired of the general public that they believe the terrorists are the good guys and that leadership that happens to be Muslim in faith, are the bad guys.

Radical Islam is never home grown. Radical Islam is venture capitalism. It runs on oil or drugs or human trafficking. That is how it funds itself. In 2010 British academic, Mark Curtis, published ` Secret Affairs: Britain`s Collusion with Radical Islam.`
The book illustrates how radical Islam has been nurtured. British investigative journalist, Vanessa Beeley, has documented the creation of the Free Syrian opposition in Syria by Britain. Her work can be viewed Here on her Substack. Note how Wikipedia is used to malign her work. Her work and archives of it dating back to the start of Syria`s destabilization, can be found on the UK Column.

That radical Islam is synthetic , is an open secret. It is the secret army of the Warlords of Westminster and Washington as explained to those who will listen by the extraordinary brave Americans, former CIA Intelligence analysts such as Larry Johnson, Scott Ritter and others of their ilke.

The following is a quote from a recently published book. The author`s words from 2016 were prophetic. All that he warned has now come to pass.
“On 27 May 2016, a meeting with a representative of the Mozambiquan government resulted in me writing a confirmatory letter to him – on his request. In it, I stated:
Our discussion on 27 may 2016 re Mozambique refers:
I believe one must first analyze and consider the comment made by Zbigniew Brzezinski- President Obama`s foreign policy advisor on Africa – that a divided and warring Africa serves the very best interests of the US. Brzezinski stated: “…protecting access to hydrocarbons and other strategic resources which Africa has in abundance, (is) a task which includes ensuring against the vulnerability of those natural riches and ensuring that no other interested third parties , such as China, India, Japan, or Russia, obtain monopolies or preferential treatment. “
My letter went on to state:
In the coming months, the government of Mozambique can expect attacks across all of its Pillars of State with the aim of destabilizing and discrediting both the government and the security forces ie Intelligence, Police and the Armed Forces…….Pressure will also be put on the IMF and World Bank to deny Mozambique access to foreign capital and loans. Regardless, these actions will erode the economy…”

Addis Ababa January 3, 2025, interview by Ethiopian News Agencywith Lawrence Freeman
Ethiopia can spearhead regional economic integration in East Africa by leveraging its growing economy and focusing on poverty reduction, the American political and economic analyst Laurence Freeman told ENA.
With about 120 million people, Ethiopia has the potential to use its economic growth to spread integration to the rest of the region and raise the standard of living in neighboring countries, he added.

Eeben Barlow: Inside the world of private military contractors | Talk to Al Jazeera
4 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.
“We don’t see ourselves as mercenaries. We are first of all contracted by a national government. We become part of their armed forces, we wear their uniforms, we follow their procedures and guidelines, we fall under the legal regulations of that country. So, in other words, we serve the country that contracts us. And yes, we get paid for it, but we certainly don’t get paid to run around and cause chaos,” says Barlow.
Some private military contractors have been accused of prolonging conflicts instead of ending them, but Barlow believes that “there is a fine line between moral and immoral”.
“But that really goes back to the people that are involved … We’ve never prolonged a conflict, in fact, we’ve ended them despite them carrying on for decades and decades. We’ve ended them in a very short space of time. But I am aware of companies that do not mind if the conflict continues because that’s the goose that lays the golden egg, and they certainly don’t want to stop it,” says Barlow.
He stresses the importance of cultural understanding and expertise needed to end conflicts across Africa.
“We are after all Africans that work in Africa. But I do think there is a major concern that Africans can actually end African conflicts,” says Barlow.
“We look at all these private military companies going into Africa, they are just charging, they don’t understand the environment they are in, they don’t understand the area of operation, they don’t understand the people and very quickly, they offend people … If they are not going to add value and bring about … stability and peace, then they shouldn’t be there. But unfortunately, this has been allowed to drag on.”
So who makes sure these armies are indeed following international law? How do they operate? And is there accountability?

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?

“The option to have contacts with armed rebels in Ethiopia or rebels that are fighting against the Ethiopia regime — if it continues this, to have contact with them is an option open to Somalia, it’s a door open to us.
We have not reached that stage, there is a hope there will be a solution. But it is a path open to us … it’s the correct thing to go there, to take that path to meet them, to support them, to stand by them (the rebels). But that will come when they continue their hostility, and attempt to implement the so-called agreement.
We discussed (ties with the TPLF), but at this time the collapse of Ethiopia is not in the interest of Somalia and the Horn of Africa region. But if they continue to [support] those opposing Somalia and with the secessionist groups [that] they have signed [an] agreement with, it’s an option for us.”
To begin with, there’s no comparison between Ethiopia’s relations with Somaliland and Somalia’s envisaged ones with anti-government Ethiopian groups. Somaliland actually achieved independence right before Somalia but then agreed to an ultimately failed unity project that ended in 1991. It then redeclared its independence and has been functioning as an unrecognized sovereign state since then. Somaliland just wants to be left alone to develop in peace and doesn’t support anti-Somalian groups.
Anti-government Ethiopian groups are completely different since some of them have carried out acts of terrorism and have been designated by the state accordingly (though some have since had this designation lifted to facilitate peace talks). Regardless of whether or not they had genuinely homegrown beginnings, they’ve all since come to function as foreign states’ proxies. None of these groups can claim any level of sovereignty akin to Somaliland either. They’re basically local warlords, nothing more.
West hampers Russia’s effort to deliver food, fertilizers to countries in need — ministry
Alexander Pankin added that Russia continues to fulfill, responsibly and in good-faith, its contractual obligations to export food, fertilizers, energy and other critical products
MOSCOW, July 26. /TASS/. Western countries have been trying to block deliveries of Russian food and fertilizers to the countries in need, due to their policy of sanctions and protectionism, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin said.
“Figures on hunger and malnutrition cited by United Nations agencies are gruesome and shocking, especially on some 50 million people, primarily in the Sahel, the Gaza Strip, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Syria, who are at the brink of starvation. The situation in Gaza remains the most serious, with its population almost entirely underfed,” Pankin told the G20 Ministerial Meeting of the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty, Rio de Janeiro. “We have to note that against this background, the collective West is still pursuing its disinformation campaign and tightening up its clampdown on Russian food and fertilizer supplies to developing countries in need, while seeking to conceal the underlying real causes of the negative trends, namely their own financial, economic and energy blunders and miscalculations.”
