Burkina Faso Adds The Haitian Revolution To Its Secondary School Curriculum
As part of its continuing efforts to decolonize its information space, Burkina Faso is introducing the Haitian Revolution into its secondary school curriculum.
This move comes one year after Mali suspended the teaching of the French Revolution from its own secondary school curriculum, and signals the determination of both nations to raise a generation of truly conscious Africans.
The rest of Africa would do well to follow this example. No African child should grow up believing that they are inferior to anyone. They should grow up knowing about their glorious history and the battles fought and won for them by those who came before. They should grow up knowing about the West’s invasion of their continent, the reign of t*rror that followed, the liberation struggles waged to end this reign.
Every African child should grow up knowing about the enslaved Africans in the then French colony of Saint-Domingue who rebelled against their oppressors in 1791, and were never defeated until they founded the modern world’s first free black republic in 1804.

"His wife was raped in front of him, so that they could get information from him."
Israeli academic Mordechai Kedar was confronted over a quote suggesting that threatening to rape Palestinian resistance fighters’ mothers or sisters could deter attacks, during a discussion on Piers Morgan Uncensored.
Kedar denied making the statement, but the exact wording from a 2014 Haaretz interview was read out, leaving him struggling to explain the remarks.
When pressed, Kedar attempted to shift the context of the quote, rather than directly address its wording.
British commentator Benjamin Moser then placed the remarks in the wider context of Israeli society, pointing to demonstrations defending Israeli soldiers accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee and public rallies held in their support.
Moser questioned how people could take to the streets to defend soldiers accused of such horrific abuse, highlighting the disturbing public response to sexual violence against Palestinians.

Israeli-American brothers sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for serial sex trafficking
——
Alon, Oren, and Tal Alexander—three brothers from a prominent Israeli-American family who once dominated high-society real estate and security circles in New York and Miami—were each sentenced to 30 years in federal prison on Tuesday for sex trafficking, conspiracy, and multiple counts of sexual abuse.
Presiding US District Judge Valerie Caproni delivered the sentences in a Manhattan courtroom following an emotional, hours-long hearing where more than a dozen survivors delivered harrowing impact statements detailing years of systemic abuse.
During the five-week trial, federal prosecutors laid out evidence demonstrating how the brothers exploited their immense wealth, high social status, and Israeli-American background ties to lure women to luxury properties—including estates in the Hamptons and international locations such as Tel Aviv—before drugging and violently assaulting them while incapacitated.
While Tal and Oren operated elite luxury real estate brokerages, their twin brother Alon worked as an executive at their family’s security firm, utilizing their network to shield their predatory conduct.
Judge Caproni firmly rejected the defendants' late assertions of innocence and unconvincing appeals for mercy, describing their actions as "monstrous" and likening them to "sadistic, misogynistic sexual predators."
The landmark sentencing marks a dramatic downfall for the brothers, who maintained their defiant stance even as victims confronted them directly in court. Federal prosecutors had pushed for life sentences, citing the profound psychological trauma inflicted upon more than 70 victims who came forward to investigators.

Moshe Feiglin stated on Channel 14 in May 2025: “Every child, every baby in Gaza is an enemy... We need to occupy Gaza and settle it, and not a single Gazan child will be left there.” In October 2026 he called killing such babies “moral” while preferring expulsion.
He is No. 2 on the Religious Zionism-Zehut list. With most votes counted from the Oct 27 election, the list is projected at 6 seats, so he enters the Knesset.

Brazil’s🇧🇷 Lula Da Silva, who turns 81 today, on the US’ war on Iran:
‘We cannot accept a war provoked by the United States based on the claim that Iran wanted to build nuclear weapons.
I can say that this is a lie, because I was in Iran in 2010. I was there with President Ahmadinejad, together with the President of Türkiye, signing an agreement that Iran would not produce nuclear weapons, it would enrich uranium only for peaceful, scientific purposes, just as Brazil does.
In the same way, they claimed Saddam had chemical weapons, and they went and destroyed Iraq. Where are those chemical weapons? More than twenty years later, where are they?’
On this day in 1945, Brazil’s🇧🇷 President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was born. He would go on to be one of the most consequential and transformative Latin American mass movement leaders of the 20th and 21st Centuries.
Born in Garanhuns, Pernambuco, one of Brazil’s poorest northeastern states. His childhood was shaped by the material conditions experienced by millions of Brazilian workers and peasants: rural poverty, insecure employment, hunger and the necessity of migration in search of a livelihood.
His family moved to São Paulo as millions of Brazilians did in search for work in the major industrial centres. Lula began working at an early age, including as a shoeshiner, delivery boy, and industrial employee.
At the age of 17, he lost a finger in an industrial machine accident during a night shift, which helped spark his involvement in Brazil’s trade union movement.
During the era of Brazil’s US-backed military dictatorship, which saw foreign corporations profiteering off of the wealth of Brazil while ordinary Brazilians remained in shocking poverty, Lula became President of Metalworkers’ Union of São Bernardo do Campo and Diadema in 1975. He became a central figure in the struggle against the dictatorship and the capitalist class, organising strikes and union action to secure higher wages and better working conditions. The dictatorship imprisoned him.
In 1980, Lula helped establish the Worker’s Party (PT), a broad church of Marxists, trade unionists, democratic socialists, rural movements, and left-wing intellectuals.
When Lula Da Silva contested and lost the election to become São Paulo’s Governor in 1982, a dejected Lula considered leaving politics altogether, which prompted an intervention by legendary Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro.
According to Lula's biographer and friend, Fernando Morais, Fidel told him: "Listen, Lula…you don't have the right to abandon politics. You don't have the right to do this to the working class…get back into politics!"
Lula would go on to lose 3 Presidential elections in 1989, 1994, and 1998, before finally winning the Presidency in 2002, becoming the first working class President of Brazil.
His first two terms were remarkably transformative:
-22.9 million Brazilians were lifted out of poverty thanks to programs introduced by the PT government
-13 million were lifted out of extreme poverty
-6 million families were lifted out of poverty in 2006 alone
-12.7 million families (almost 50 million people) were reached by the Bolsa Familia cash-transfer program.
-A 39.7% reduction in infant mortality was seen between 2003-2010
-37.2% real cumulative GDP growth from 2003-2010.
During his third term, faced with obstruction and legislative chaos by conservative forces and those loyal to Bolsonaro, striking achievements were still reached:
-8.7 million were lifted out of poverty in 2023 alone.
-Extreme poverty had halved from 7% to 3.5% by 2024.
-Real minimum wages increased by 12.7% between 2022-2026.
-Amazon deforestation fell by 38% in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
Abroad, one of Lula’s biggest legacies has been the founding of BRICS, which continues to build a multipolar world today and is seen as a major threat to US hegemony.
He has consistently stood with the Palestinian people and opposed the US-UK-EU-armed Gaza genocide.
By defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, he thwarted an assault on the BRICS project, and the drive for Trump’s renewed Monroe Doctrine which sought to turn Latin American into a collection of vassal states loyal to Washington and Israel.
While Lula has had his fair share of shortcomings and mistakes, both at home and abroad, he stands as one of the most transformative Latin American leaders in recent history and has shown through mass mobilisation and popular resistance, Washington’s will and dominance can be successfully resisted.

A Campaign Against Antisemitism steward was filmed by Al Jazeera offering to provide “muscle” at a rally organised by Turning Point UK, a far right group that Al Jazeera revealed to have links to Loyalist paramilitary contract killers.
The CAA was already thoroughly discredited last December when a judge ruled a case it had brought against the comedian Reginald Hunter was “vexatious” and “abusive” and aimed purely at getting him “cancelled”. So horrified was the judge by their behaviour he instructed a copy of his ruling to be attached to any future legal action brought by the CAA.
It is astonishing the CAA still has charitable status and more astonishing still that the BBC interviews it as being representative of the Jewish community.

Hegel, the philosopher, the foundational figure of Western intellectual tradition, the man whose ideas shaped how generations understood history and progress and civilisation, said Africa had no history.
Literally.
In "The Philosophy of History," published posthumously in 1837, he described Africa as "the land of childhood, which lying beyond the day of self-conscious history, is enveloped in the dark mantle of Night."
No history. No development. No participation in the movement of human civilization.
This was not a fringe opinion.
These were the intellectual assumptions that would help legitimize European colonial domination and, decades later, the partition of an entire continent.
Now.
While Hegel was writing this, the Oyo Empire in West Africa governed millions of people through a sophisticated constitutional system with checks on royal power.
While Hegel was writing this, the Kingdom of Dahomey had a standing army, a complex taxation system, and active diplomatic relationships with the European powers who were simultaneously, in their salons and academies, insisting the continent they were negotiating with had no civilization worth the name.
While Hegel was writing this, the Asante Empire operated under legal codes that European jurists would have recognized as sophisticated if they had been written in a language those jurists were willing to read.
While Hegel was writing this, the manuscripts of Timbuktu, hundreds of thousands of texts on mathematics, astronomy, medicine, theology, history, were being preserved by African scholars in the city his tradition insisted had produced no thought worth preserving.
And while Hegel was writing that Africa had no history, Ethiopia already had one that stretched back more than four thousand years.
Egyptian pharaohs, themselves African rulers, had been sending fleets to trade with the Land of Punt, in the Horn of Africa, as early as 2500 BCE.
Gold, frankincense, myrrh, ebony, ivory.
By the third century CE, the Kingdom of Aksum was minting its own coinage, trading across the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, and commanding such international recognition that the religious teacher Mani counted it alongside Rome, Persia and China as one of the great kingdoms of the world.
Its written literary tradition in Ge’ez carried scripture, philosophy, law, and royal chronicles that predated most of the nations doing the accusing by centuries.
The darkness was not in Africa.
It was in the theory that needed Africa to be dark.
ALT Gold coin bearing the bust of King Kaleb of Aksum, ancient Ethiopia, sixth century CE. Royal portraits. Greek inscriptions. Sovereign currency. International trade. Aksum had been minting its own gold coins since the late third century, more than 1,500 years before Hegel's lectures. An African civilization was literally striking its history in gold centuries before European philosophers presumed to deny it.

Egypt is the most revealing case of all.
Ancient Egypt, with its pyramids, its philosophy, its mathematical precision, its medicine, its legal systems, its art that still stops people in museum halls, is acknowledged as one of the great civilizations of human history.
And for most of Western academic history, it was also systematically, carefully, persistently de-Africanized.
Ancient Egyptians were depicted as lighter than the evidence suggests.
The obvious geographical and cultural connections to the rest of Africa were minimized.
The Nile Valley civilizations that predated the dynastic period were underdiscussed.
Cheikh Anta Diop spent his career arguing that ancient Egypt was an African civilization.
Not Mediterranean. Not racially ambiguous. Not a separate category inserted between "real" Africa and "real" civilization.
African.
The reaction from Western academia was not engagement.
It was dismissal. It was decades of institutional resistance. It was the particular fury of a field that had built its understanding of the ancient world on the careful, necessary, structurally load-bearing separation of Egypt from the continent it sits on.
Because if Egypt is African, then the sentence "Africa had no civilization before Europe arrived" doesn’t just need revision.
It becomes incoherent.
Not just false, but the precise inversion of the truth.
And not just about one dynasty or one period but about the foundational story of Western civilization itself, which drew substantially from Egyptian knowledge in mathematics, medicine, architecture, philosophy.
Which means Western civilization did not bring knowledge to Africa.
It learned from it.
The mummies are still there.
The DNA studies have complicated every clean narrative.
Diop’s work has been increasingly vindicated by genetic and archaeological evidence.
The resistance continues anyway.
But the instinct, the deep structural instinct to separate the civilization you want to celebrate from the continent you needed to be empty, that instinct shaped the field for generations.
You cannot claim the pyramids and also claim the continent that built them had no history.
You cannot do both with a straight face.
They tried anyway.
ALT Pharaoh Nebhepetre Mentuhotep II (reigned c. 2055–2004 BCE). An African king of the Nile Valley who reunified Egypt and founded the Middle Kingdom more than 4,000 years ago. This is not a modern reconstruction. It is an original ancient Egyptian statue, discovered at Deir el-Bahari in 1900. Long before European colonialism, Africa had already produced one of the greatest civilizations in human history. Egypt was African. Its pharaohs were African. Its history is African history.

🇮🇱 Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's Jewish Power party is poised to win eight or more seats running on its own in Tuesday's election, up from the six it won in 2022 on a joint far-right list. Among Israelis aged 18 to 22, it would take nearly 9% of the vote, according to a poll reported by Ynet, the equivalent of about 15 seats.
Up to a third of its supporters will be voting for the first time, a survey at Hebrew University found.
Ben-Gvir has pushed through a law making hanging the default sentence for Palestinians convicted in military courts of deadly attacks on Israelis, starved and tortured Palestinian prisoners, and vowed to "conquer Gaza, because it's all ours."
"I used to think he was a bit crazy, but then I actually looked at what he was saying, and it all made sense," Gavriel Marmon, an 18-year-old first-time voter from Beit Shemesh, told Reuters.
🎥 The Guardian spoke to some other young Israelis outside a Ben-Gvir rally. Full video in reply.

The Spearhead Reacts To A British Journalist on The Topic Of Foreign Aid To Nigeria
On 16 October 2026, British reporter and TV pundit Lowri Jones appeared on the UK's Channel 5 show Jeremy Vine where she delivered comments to the effect that the UK's £136 million annual aid disbursement to Nigeria is largely lost to "corruption" and that Nigeria in any case is too wealthy to need foreign aid.
In the characteristically insincere and malicious manner of British TV punditry, these comments were not intended as a sincere analysis of a purportedly broken UK foreign aid system or a neutral observation about Nigeria, but as a backhanded dig at an African country that is regularly deployed as a public scapegoat in British political spaces.
At The Spearhead, we wholeheartedly agree with Jones's postulation that the UK should permanently cease all foreign aid disbursement to Nigeria, although not for the puerile, infantile, surface-level reasons that she volunteered. @Big_Mck explains further.

Trump engaged in a thoughtful, extended conversation with—nothingness. He suddenly stopped, waved, saluted, offered greetings, and chatted for a bit with the empty space. 😁🤭
The cameraman deliberately zoomed out to show that there was absolutely no one to be seen for hundreds of meters in any direction.
Apparently, Trump received a visit from the very same "invisible person"—the kind of encounter he had previously mocked Joe Biden for supposedly having.

If it keeps going at this rate, we might, for (I think) the first time in history, be about to witness the first continent-wide youth revolt in Europe - a "European spring" of sorts.
The sheer number of countries where it's **already** happening is pretty overwhelming. I count 8, including 4 with violent clashes:
- France, famously
- Albania (see below) with daily clashes in Tirana and a government building set alight
- Belgium: the French movement spilled over, including riots in Liège
- Italy: "No Meloni Day" student protests since 16 October, turning into riots in Milan, Turin and Bologna
- Greece: students camping in Athens' Syntagma Square over housing and education costs, explicitly inspired by France
- Germany: pupils blockading schools in Berlin and Hamburg in solidarity with France
- Spain: an indefinite education strike in Madrid, with students marching alongside teachers and families
- Serbia: the student movement born from the 2024 Novi Sad station collapse is now running its own list in the 25 October election
And, by the way, the fact it's also happening in countries with close to no immigration - like Albania - goes to show how reductive it is to label these movements, like JD Vance and Trump did with France, as the fruit of "the migrants hav[ing] taken over."
As is often the case, it's much more a story of "it's the economy, stupid." As such, Trump with his war on Iran, has ironically done much more to fuel this (pun intended) than any migrant.
