Israeli Surveillance Firm Signs Deal With “Anonymous” West African Country
On May 10, 2026, The Jerusalem Post reported that Israeli surveillance company Mer Group had just secured a $37 million dollar deal with an anonymous West African country. The company, which has its fingerprints all over Isr*el’s ongoing g*nocide in Gaza and its continued illegal occupation of the West Bank, reportedly already has contracts in Nigeria, Guinea and Togo. Yet none of these nations were identified as the new mystery client.
So which West African country are we to congratulate? And why would any African country choose to tie its security infrastructure with such a vicious and treacherous state as Isr*el at all, especially given the continent’s own history with this t*rror state?

Arsenal’s Title Victory And The Emotional Colonization Of Africans
Why are so many Africans so passionate about non-African football teams winning a game thousands of miles away from the continent? Why is so much money, time and energy channeled towards the professional and personal lives of wealthy foreign athletes in a continent where anywhere between 40 and 50% of the entire population lives in multi-dimensional poverty?
What does this fact say about the priorities of the average African? And who ultimately benefits from this mass distraction?

European Settler To South Africans: Learn To Love Your Brothers The Way We Love Ours
In recent months, South Africa has witnessed a tragically familiar resurgence of x*nophobic, anti-African viol*nce, fueled by the oldest trick in the colonial book (“divide and conquer”). At a time when predatory Western corporations are kicking against the country’s equality laws – aimed at ensuring its African majority actually benefits from its economy – and when the US government is actively supporting separatist groups in the country led by white supr*macists, the timing of this resurgence could not be more telling.
Under the false pretext of “protecting” their country from “cr*minals”, a noisy minority of historically-illiterate South Africans has flooded the streets, hunt*ng down and att*cking Africans from other nations, blocking their children at the gates of schools, and calling for them to return to their countries. The African Union and human rights groups have strongly condemned these violations. Ghana and Nigeria have summoned their South African envoys over them, with Ghana evacuating nearly 300 of its citizens from South Africa this week. And through it all, the neocolonial forces that are actually responsible for the economic state of one of Africa’s longest and most directly colonized nations continue to enjoy their eternal free pass.
In this video, a white South African commentator with clear white supr*macist views shares an ironically apt message to South Africa’s black majority.
Somaliland To Open Its First Embassy In Israel
5 months after being formally recognized by and offering its territory on a plate to the g*nocidal state of Isr*el, and 3 months after offering its minerals and military infrastructure on a plate to the United States – which may be safely considered Isr*el with extra steps these days – Somaliland is officially slated to build its first embassy in Jerusalem.
What these developments mean for peace and stability in the Horn of Africa remains to be seen, but for the time being, Isr*el remains the only nation to formally recognize Somaliland, and Somalia – from which Somaliland declared independence in 1991 – has condemned these developments as geopolitical plays on the part of Isr*el to expand its military presence in Africa, and vowed to defend itself against any Isr*eli military aggression in its territory
Niger Signs Multiple Energy Deals With China
On May 16, 2026, the Nigerien government signed a series of strategic deals with the People’s Republic of China, aimed at strengthening the West African country’s oil sector. The signing ceremony, held in the country’s capital, Niamey, came two days before Niger took another bold step towards the full nationalization of its uranium, by finally revoking France’s 58-year-old license on Niger’s fabled Arlit mine.
The deals with China, amounting to $1 billion in investments, could see Niger’s oil production capacity increase by over 30% over the next 3 years, and together with the country’s nuclear power deal with Russia, could see its energy consumption skyrocket over that same time period.
As a member of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Niger has faced relentless att*cks by Western-backed t*rrorists, economic isolation and sovereignty violations by Western-aligned African states, and endless slander from Western and Western-aligned media. Despite these externally-imposed challenges, the country and its fellow AES members, Mali and Burkina Faso, have continued to record economic and political wins.
It is up to the people of Africa to draw the obvious conclusion about which international forces are truly on their side.
