Isr*el’s Embassy In Ghana Uses School Children To Fill Up Seats At Boycotted Film Festival
Nearly a year after Ghanaian President John Mahama delivered an impassioned speech at the 2025 UN General Assembly, in which he called out Isr*el’s ongoing g*nocide in G*za, Isr*el is using Ghanaian children to whitewash its image.
On August 30, the Isr*eli Embassy in Ghana, in collusion with two local schools and West African cinema chain Silverbird Cinemas, bused in school children to fill out empty seats in a successfully boycotted film festival it had organized.
You couldn’t make it up.
Why Do South Africans Look to Europeans for Leadership?
Nontsikelelo ‘Ntsiki’ Mazwai, the Land Party mayoral candidate for Johannesburg, decries the recently forged insidious alliance between the r*cist European-settler h*te group known as the AfriForum and the xenophobic March and March organisation that has mobilised South Africans against migrant African workers.
It seems some Africans continue to view Europeans as their liberators. What is the way out of this backward dynamic? Drop us a comment.

DR Congo: The Latest African Country Pledging Embassy Move To Jerusalem
In his latest show of total fealty and subservience to Western interests, DRC President Felix Tshisekedi paid a visit to Jerusalem where he met with Isr*eli President Isaac Herzog. During the visit, he pledged to move DRC’s embassy to Jerusalem and to “strengthen the longstanding relationship” between the DRC and Israel.
While still being one of the most vi*lently exploited countries in Africa by the West, the DRC under Tshisekedi has continued to deepen its relationship with the very powers that have historically benefited from the exploitation of its vast natural resources.
Isr*el on its part values such “relationships” with African comprador leaders like Tshisekedi, not only to secure access to the raw minerals needed to run its economy and manufacture weapons used in its g*nocidal onslaught on West Asia, but also to strengthen its influence on the continent.
