Tanzania’s Western-Backed “Opposition” Leader Nominated For Human Rights Award By EU Parliament
A right-wing group within the European Parliament has just nominated Tanzania’s top “opposition” leader, Tundu Lissu, for one of the EU’s most prestigious “human rights” awards.
For those who have been following the events in Tanzania since 2025, this development offers another chilling insight into the external forces behind Tanzania’s “opposition” movement.
In its debut documentary, “What Happened On October 29?”, which premiered in May 2026, The Spearhead sheds an investigative light on these nefarious forces and their local pawns. You can watch the documentary on our YouTube channel and Substack page.
Dangote Breaks Ground on $16 Billion Refinery in Kenya
Billionaire Aliko Dangote and Kenyan President William Ruto have officially broken ground on a monumental $16 billion petroleum refinery in Lamu, Kenya.
Designed to produce 700,000 barrels per day, the facility represents a pivotal step toward regional energy independence, aiming to supply petrol, diesel, and jet fuel across East Africa from Ethiopia to Mozambique.
The strategic investment mirrors the industrial vision of Dangote’s massive Lekki refinery in Nigeria, reinforcing a shift toward processing Africa’s natural resources locally rather than exporting raw crude and importing refined products.
Ghana Moves to Join BRICS to Expand Global Partnerships
Ghana has announced plans to formally apply for BRICS membership in a strategic bid to expand its economic partnerships beyond traditional Western allies. By aligning with the major bloc of emerging market economies, Ghana aims to accelerate industrialisation and enhance trade, investment, and developmental cooperation across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
Seeking greater economic independence and robust South-South collaboration, the government has already engaged existing BRICS members like India for support. If accepted, Ghana would become another key West African nation within the expanding 11-member alliance, furthering its goal of building a resilient and diversified national economy.
Capitalism Only Survives By Exploiting the Global South
Socio-political commentator Danny (@isitcapitalism) explains why advocating for social democracy obscures the unequal exchange between Global North workers, who earn exponentially more than a person in the Global South.
If you are in the Global North, are you willing to take a paycut or pay more for goods to cover a more equitable labour cost from the Global South?
