And did you know that it took 76 years for the US to even acknowledge that this atrocity happened at all?

Why This Congolese Refused to Fight for Ukraine
After Russia began its “special military operation” in Ukraine on 24 February 2022, thousands of Africans and other Global South peoples found it difficult to flee.
In this clip just days after many people began exiting Ukraine, 34-year-old Pyra Diantouadi, a migrant from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), laughed at being approached to fight as a soldier for Ukraine.

UN Ends 35-Year Peace Mission In Western Sahara
Did you know that Africa actually has 55 countries, not 54, as is popularly believed? The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), also known as Western Sahara, is Africa’s 55th nation, and the only African nation still fighting for its independence. From Spanish colonizers in 1884, to Morocco’s Western-aligned government in 1975, to the US in 2026, the country has faced many oppressors.
On November 1, 2026, the United Nations (UN) ended its 35-year peacekeeping mission in the Western Sahara, following a UN Security Council deadlock. On the one side of this deadlock was the predatory USA, on the other side, Russia, which has supported Africa’s liberation struggles since the 1950s. Morocco has celebrated the end of this mission. Western Sahara’s revolutionary independence party, the Polisario Front, has condemned it. And the country’s indigenous inhabitants, the Sahrawi, continue to hope for an independent future, under their rightful, revolutionary leadership.
