“Disunity between our peoples must cease!” – Fidel Castro
Fidel Castro (1926 – 2016), former Cuban President and anti-imperialist icon, would have turned 100 this Thursday, August 13, 2026.
In this excerpt from his powerful speech at the 12th Annual Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in Durban, South Africa, on September 2, 1998, Castro calls on the people of Africa, the wider Global South, and the world at large, to rise above the petty divisions imposed on them by Western colonial powers, and unify in the pursuit of a truly just world.
Today, he is remembered fondly in Africa as a staunch supporter of the continent’s many liberation struggles, including South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle, for which former South African President, Nelson Mandela (1918 – 2013), expressed lifelong gratitude to and solidarity with the Cuban leader. In the West, Castro is remembered less fondly, as the fearless revolutionary who survived over 600 assassination attempts by Western intelligence, and died as free as he had lived in 2016.
His work continues to inspire millions across the Global South, who dare to dream of a world free from the pestilence of Western imperialism.
Ghana’s Revamped Oil Refinery To Process Locally-Sourced Crude For The First Time In Over 10 Years
In another win for the country’s leadership, Ghana’s state-owned and recently revamped oil refinery, Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) will begin processing locally-sourced crude for the first time in over a decade.
This development and the many other developments we have seen in Ghana since its President John D. Mahama returned to office in January 2025, continue to prove the power of the African state.
A power which the predatory West and its organizations are so desperate to strip away from the continent.
Vusi Thembekwayo Compares IShowSpeed’s Africa Tour To CIA Tactics Against Lumumba
Celebrities and superstars are not morally or politically neutral entities in a world where a jazz musician’s tour of a newly independent DR Congo was used by the CIA as cover for infiltrating and ultimately getting rid of the country’s first and only nationalist leader, Patrice Lumumba.
At a time when a new generation of American megastars are building cultural inroads and political access across the continent, South African author and entrepreneur Vusi Thembakwayo points out that we have seen this movie before. Perhaps quite literally.

David Miller: Mossad Links To South Africa’s Apartheid Intelligence Were Deep and Multifaceted
In this segment of Palestine Declassified, host Chris Williamson and British sociologist David Miller discuss the deep historical ties and intelligence collaboration between Isr*el’s Mossad, related organizations like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), and South Africa’s apartheid-era Bureau of State Security (BOSS).
The discussion exposes parallel assassination tactics, including letter b*mb campaigns targeting anti-apartheid activists such as Ruth First, as well as covert surveillance and data-sharing on anti-apartheid campaigners, clearly showing shared strategic alignments among settler-colonial regimes.
