Atrocious Joe posted:for people who don't know the background of Victoria Nuland Wait Nuland was the envoy?!?! lol Christ on the Cross. Either the United States did this to gently caress with France's uranium supply and create further energy dependance by Europe on the US, or the US is in the process of planning God knows what because they didn't do this.

Mister Bates posted:the International Meeting of Communist and Workers Parties is the closest equivalent but it only meets once a year and doesn't really exist as a permanent standing body, and also China didn't attend the 2021 or 2022 meetings for unclear reasons despite being a regular participant prior to that (neither did the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, another regular participant) That's depressing

some interesting and unfortunate crossover... a Turkish company is not paying its workers in Tanzania quote:enr250 (world's top 250 international contractors-2022) list indicates that yapı merkezi, which is turkey's 3rd largest construction company, had a grave incident in its railway project in tanzania.

(plonks crystal ball on table with a thud) "Western" intervention will lead to widespread west Africa destabilization. The pillaging and plundering by France and the USA must continue at any cost. Any cost. Tens of millions more refugees will go to Europe. It will be hailed as restoring the democratic order, which is basically a synonym for restoring profitability to certain USA friendly private monetary interests. It will all seem eerily familiar. Cue twilight zone music, fade to black.

Cape Town has been experiencing a pretty serious strike for the past week. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-66445019 Article linked mainly for photo: https://www.sowetanlive.co.za/news/south-africa/2023-08-10-watch-british-doctor-one-of-five-killed-since-taxi-strike-started-in-cape-town/ Minibus taxis, seen in the article above, make up the bulk of transportation in south Africa, thanks to apartheid spatial planning. The city of Cape town amended a bylaw that allowed them to start impounding taxi's (which are managed by private companies). The taxi drivers were not happy about this, so they started striking. And when they strike, they mean it. The majority of Cape town workers live in poor townships and cannot get to work for the past week now. The city of Cape town has responded by shouting Law And Order and impounding taxi's some more. Places are running out of groceries and medicine here so I hope reason prevails.

Frosted Flake posted:Per this fantastic interview from last year, God dammit, I have to watch this, because I saw some of it happen myself. I got Phumzile Van Damme (former member of the opposition party) to follow me on twitter. She seemed to respond well to anti-colonial and anti-racist takes, despite her strong lib tendency. Then she founded this "anti-misinformation" think tank. https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/so...n-on-fake-news/ A bit later in 2022/23, she suddenly started focusing heavily on Russian influence and misinformation in Africa. I would prod her about the the fact that she doesn't seem to do the same for European and American Imperialism in Africa. Shortly thereafter, she went to Washington and got an award from Anthony Blinken and attended an event with Hillary. I made a tweet about how disappointed I was, that her sudden focus on Russia made a lot of sense now, and she blocked me immediately. I gotta say, it sucks to see the USA scoop up your local influential people and dig their claws in. It feels suddenly very real, and very surreal, and scary. Colour revolutions happen "over there", not in my own country. But of course, eventually that's no longer true.
