Afriforum has just lost its leverage in the US. I wonder what Bozell is thinking right now? Bigotry behind Afriforum and Bozell is going to be exposed.

[ON AIR] Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Türkiye have signed a new defence pact — agreeing that an attack on one will be treated as an attack on all. What could this mean for the Middle East’s balance of power and its ties with the US? Meanwhile, Washington is tightening the screws on Russia with sweeping new sanctions over the war in Ukraine. And in Europe, temporary border controls are raising fresh questions about the future of passport-free movement under Schengen. Joining us to discuss this is Thembisa Fakude: Senior Research Fellow and Director at Africa-Asia Dialogues (@fakudet) on #TheNationalBriefing #sabcnews

South Africa is no where to be seen on meetings on Gaza ceasefire nor post Gaza reconstruction. Something is wrong.

I’ll only believe that the US hit Iran when I see the pictures. And I refuse to believe that Iranians were just waiting to be bombed after the warning. What happens to Netanyahu now? Party over?

“Israel has the right to defend itself” has taken a different meaning now. It is said to tongue in cheek.

China offers tariffs free trade to 53 African states. Trump’s own goal.

Netanyahu will do whatever it takes to remain in power. Keeping Israel in a state of war including attacking Iran is part of his game plan. Iran is not Hamas.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems to be reading from the Israel script book on how to deal with terrorism. He has hinted on executing stringent and disproportionate measures on Kashmir and Pakistan following the horrific attacks on tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir.

مارك كارني يشغل حاليا منصب رئيس وزراء كندا، وشغل سابقاً منصب حاكم بنك كندا من عام 2008 إلى 2013، وحاكم بنك إنجلترا من عام 2013 إلى 2020. ما يقوله هنا عن دلالات إجراءات #ترمب غاية في الأهمية.
Carney: The global economy is fundamentally different today than it was yesterday. The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over. While this is a tragedy, it is also the new reality

South Africa’s involvement in the DRC could be the main factor that would attract Trump’s interest to us.

When will Israel stop. Unbleepin believable!! The world will never forget. The actions of today will unfortunately haunt many generations to come. Sadly all the brutes committing these horrible crimes will be dead by then.
