Much like the CNN article, accusations against Wan Cun Tong and other China-funded aid projects to Africa are no more than common tricks by some Westerners, who constantly attempt to defame China and sever China-Africa ties with worn cliches such as “neocolonialism” or the “China threat theory,” Liu pointed out.

JAMES DiEugenio—Although the first local inquiry by British colonial authorities blamed the crash on pilot error, there have always been suspicions of foul play. A number of witnesses saw a large fireball explode in the sky around the airport. Before he died, the sole survivor, Harold Julien, said the plane was in flames before it crashed. More than one witness said they had seen a smaller plane behind and above the Albertina. But in spite of these observations, the U.N.’s inquiry was inconclusive.

Let Go of the Toxic Parasite that is the Democratic Party
12 minutes readAISHA—While many people understand that the Democrats are very similar to Republicans, it’s the false promises of AOC, Bernie, and Ilhan Omar that keeps them hooked. That is their job.
By highlighting a mere fraction of U.S. domestic policies, (and even then, they fall short) the “progressive” part of the Democratic Party diverts attention away from the monstrous U.S. empire, that is strangling the world.

Essential Truths with Jimmy Dore: US Threatens Africa To Support Ukraine War. Africa refuses.
6 minutes readJIMMY DORE—The mainstream US media likes to depict support for Ukraine in its struggle against Russia as universal, implying a united global community pushing back against the aggressive, imperialist-minded Putin. In reality the global south is not on board with this narrative, with the nations of Africa in particular preferring to stay neutral in this war and primarily evincing concern with ending the fighting to ensure that domestic food scarcity doesn’t worsen. But that’s not good enough for the US and Europe, which have begun implicitly threatening African nations with consequences if they don’t fall in line and declare their full-throated support for Ukraine. Jimmy and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger are joined by independent journalist Hermela Aregawi (http://twitter.com/HermelaTV) to discuss the Ukraine War’s role in food scarcity in the Horn of Africa and Democratic war criminal Samantha Power’s recent visit to the region to drum up opposition to Putin and Russia.

Guinea and the Military Coup Incubator, AFRICOM
12 minutes readThe coup in Guinea has been widely condemned by the US, the UN, the AU, ECOWAS, and others. In contrast, news of the coup sparked celebrations in some parts of the capital, where hundreds of people applauded the soldiers.
African people face such dire circumstances at the hands of neocolonialism and neoliberalism that they welcome the remotest possibility of change. The outward faces of their oppression are the Black faces that only appear to be in charge. Too many African presidents don’t actually preside over their countries. They kowtow.
