𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝘀 '𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁' 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝗼. |... 🇧🇫 🇷🇺 For those sitting at the back, here is a bit of history: In 1960 it was Russia under Khrushchev that opened up universities for African students who some later on became African Heads of States and Military Commanders. This was when Europe said Africans were 'half human and half animals.' Remember? When they had human zoos (France, Belgium, Germany etc), locking up Africans in cages? We haven't forgotten. In the 1970s and 80s Russia took political activists to be trained in the Army in Moscow and further their studies. Its 2025; Russia has never neglected Africa, always there to provide backup against imperialists and thieves. Therefore, there is no vicious colonizer that will tell Africans how to view Moscow. Russia never colonized Africa nor did they steal our mineral resources. Facts are facts! You can't erase history.show more

Queen Vee and the team are shamelessly removing blind... people from Zimbabwe that are begging on our robots. Africans must learn to fix their own countries and fight their own governments to instill order in Africa and protect their wealth so that the old and disabled people can get grants as well in their countries. Our old and disabled people never ran to African countries to be a burden or to seek refuge during the apartheid era even when they were faced with death. They all remained behind and fought for freedom except for a few political figures that went to exile. We have no sympathy for cowards that run away from challenges. Sympathizing with Africans will never help us grow or build this continent. We want change in Africa, AFRICA must prosper. #WeWantOurCountryBack 🇿🇦show more

And then – shock. At the meeting in Moscow,... which was organized by the public organization "Poslovna Russia", Putin spoke about global challenges and the latest economic tensions. On that occasion, he did not choose his words. As reported by Chinese journalists, speaking about Western leaders who persistently push for new sanctions against Russia, the Russian president called them idiots. 🇷🇺 "They do it to their own detriment. But they do it, idiots. Oh, excuse me..." This is how Putin commented on the impact of sanctions against Russia on those who impose them. 👇show more

Today in Kyiv, a Summit is taking place that... has brought together 24 countries, primarily from Europe. All of our European neighbors are represented: Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, and Belarus. We all support the aspiration of the Belarusian people to free themselves from Russian interference, and we know that Russia is now trying to drag Belarus even deeper into this war against Ukraine. We value every expression of support from Belarusians for a free Ukraine, and we know that the day will come when there will once again be good-neighborly relations between our states – based on the real independence of both Ukraine and Belarus from Moscow. This is exactly what we discussed today with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and her team, who are visiting Kyiv. Ukraine has never been a threat to Belarus. And we are grateful to those Belarusians who stand with Ukraine – now, when the fate of both our independence and the independence of every nation that borders Russia is being decided.show more

In conversation with some comrades a few weeks ago,... we reflected on how the painful contradiction with those who use hate and violence against foreign nationals, in order to mobilise popular support, extort money or pursue votes, is that they are bound to commit an inhumane act towards their own self-destruction. All of them, their downfall is the inhumanity of what they do, because at the core of what they are doing, is cruelty and inhumanity, and it is then when they will know that South African people are not hateful people. In 2008 it was the burning and necklacing of foreign nationals in painful images. In early 2021 it was the raiding of homes of innocent people like Ntate Victor Ramarafe in Dobsonville, or the extortion of foreign nationals who were legal in Alexandra, otherwise they were evicted from their homes. In Diepsloot it was killing of people like Elvis Nyathi and burning him alive after stealing money from his wife. More recently it was the blocking of women and children at the gates of schools and clinics in Soweto, the birth of children at gates of clinics in Tshwane and the stopping of South Africans from healthcare because they could not readily produce an ID. People are now looting food in their names, men are beating women in hair salons all in a build-up of a hostel-centric hate groups’ activities. The more human rights atrocities they commit, the quicker they engineer their self-destruction, because South Africans have an irrefutable instinct to be human. South African people cannot reconcile their hearts with violence being committed against innocent human beings, and this is the lesson these hate groups will learn. The toxicity of Twitter is not reality, no South African mother will support a woman giving birth on a pavement because they don’t have a passport. No man or woman will cheer as a human being burns alive because they could not say elbow in Nguni. No sane South African will support looting of shops of the food that YOU claimed was poisonous, leaving them with no close and readily available access to food. There is a reason why political parties who campaign on violence against foreign nationals collectively and combined cannot surpass 5% in a national vote - South African people inherently are not monsters. It is just sad that the self-destruction of these hate groups, first requires tragedy and casualties, but it is alway inevitable.show more

The German embassy in Moscow once again called on... Russia to end the war. In return, Russia called them "Nazi propagandists", jeered that the German ambassador's car drives on gas, and blamed Berlin for waging "an aggressive war" against Russia. ◾️On July 6, a video was published at the Facebook page of the German embassy in Russia. In it, Lena Hillmeier, head of the press office and second secretary at the German embassy in Russia, offered an solution to Russia's fuel problems: stop Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine. ◾️A week later, the German ambassador was summoned to Russia's foreign affairs ministry. He was told that "The slide of German agitprop's information and communications efforts into the style of the worst Nazi propaganda practices is immoral and provokes historically conditioned rejection and outrage among broad sections of the population in our country. At the same time, we were pleased to learn that the German ambassador will soon be returning home in a gasoline-powered car following the completion of his official mission." Zakharova also commented that "we [Russia] agree that it's time Berlin end its aggressive war through the hands of the Kyiv regime." She suggested that "concerned German diplomats" use public transportation. ◾️The German embassy reacted: "Today, Ambassador Alexander Graf Lambsdorff was summoned to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During the meeting, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova criticized the publications of the German Embassy in Moscow, claiming they touch on "painful issues" for the Russian population. The summons was prompted by a widely viewed video from the Embassy about the fuel crisis in Russia caused by Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. The video calls on Russia to end the war, reflecting the well-known position of the German government and a demand for Russia repeatedly made by Germany and the EU. Attempts to obstruct the publication of the Embassy's materials, the content of which is factual, will be futile. The Embassy will continue to advocate for an end to the monstrous, aggressive war against Ukraine and to report on its consequences." Thank you, Germany, for standing with Ukraine! 🇩🇪🇺🇦show more

🚨 BREAKING: Can you imagine this statement coming from... a government representative? "We're happy that many Nigerians have left our country. Thank you for leaving our country. Next time you come back, know that we South Africans don't joke." Comments like these are disappointing, especially when they appear to promote division rather than unity. Africa's strength has always been in solidarity, mutual respect, and cooperation among its people. Nigerians and South Africans have deep historical ties, and millions of law-abiding citizens from both countries contribute positively to each other's economies and communities. Generalizing an entire nationality or celebrating the departure of people based on where they come from only fuels resentment and misunderstanding. At a time when Africans should be building stronger bridges across the continent, statements that appear hostile to fellow Africans raise serious concerns about the future of Pan-African unity. We may come from different countries, but we share one continent, one history, and a common destiny. Africa is stronger when Africans stand together, not when they are divided. 🌍✊🏾🇳🇬🇿🇦show more

🇷🇺🇮🇱🇺🇦 Israeli military observer Yigal Levin criticizes Moscow’s strikes... and writes: 🗣️ “Lately, Moscow has been trying more and more often to present its large-scale attacks as ‘retaliatory strikes.’ As if this is a response to Ukraine’s effective and massive attacks on Russian territory. Moreover, unlike Russia’s strikes on peaceful civilian objects, Ukraine targets oil refineries, military factories, ships, logistical hubs, arsenals, ports, army and FSB headquarters, etc. This thesis is absurd from the very beginning, because it was Russia that started the war. Accordingly, all of Ukraine’s actions are a reaction. That is, when Kyiv strikes Russia, it is actually responding to aggression. This is completely logical: war can never be a ‘one-sided game.’ If you decide to bomb someone, you must be prepared for them to bomb you back. Russia, on the other hand, behaves in an extremely infantile way — just like its citizens, who express surprise when explosions and strikes begin on their own territory as well. Instead of taking responsibility — yes, we started it, we are bombing, so what? — Moscow, like a frightened and confused teenager, tries to present its own strikes as ‘responses’… Responses to what? No special intelligence is needed to engage elementary logic: no one was bombing Russia and no one was preparing to do so until Russia itself started the war. What will happen next is quite clear: while Russia has been attacking with full force for a long time, using the same ‘Oreshnik’ for the third time already — Ukraine’s strikes will only intensify. In 2022, Ukraine struck weaker than in 2023; in 2024 — weaker than in 2025; and now it is 2026, when sometimes Kyiv’s strikes already surpass Moscow’s in terms of the scale of damage inflicted. War has its own inexorable logic of progression: Ukraine’s next strikes, the real retaliatory strikes, will be even more massive and powerful than they were at the beginning of the year. And yes, Russians should be endlessly grateful to Ukrainians for how they are conducting this war. For example, with the same FP-5 type drones that carry a ton of explosives, striking the civilian population would not be difficult at all. And yes, Ukraine has this capability. It has the capability, but Kyiv chooses not to take this path. And when the war ends, if I were in the Russians’ place, I would express gratitude and respect to Ukrainians precisely for this restraint. But as long as the war continues, every Russian citizen must clearly understand that strikes from Ukraine will only increase, and there is only one party responsible for all of this — the Kremlin. These are quite banal and obvious thoughts, but what can we do if Russian society continues to behave infantilely. The problem is that this infantilism is taking on a bloody form.” Video is generated by grok AIshow more

🇷🇺🇰🇵 Russian military correspondent Alexander Kots on the North... Korean soldiers: - “Disdain for death and remarkable endurance — this is what distinguished the DPRK military during the fighting in the Kursk region” - They were trained and gained experience to participate in a modern military conflict. After that, they were sent to the Kursk border area. There, the Koreans lived in field conditions so as not to attract unnecessary attention; - At first, the DPRK fighters held the third and second lines of defense, but over time they participated in assaults. For example, Plekhovo was liberated in about two hours by the Korean special forces units. "They passed through like a hurricane," other war correspondents wrote about this. - They made a major contribution to the battles for the Korenevsky district, near Staraya and Novaya Sorochiny, as well as in the breakthrough to Kurilovka. - They are mostly strong young guys who are famous for their excellent teamwork and discipline. Not one of them broke the oath. The main rule of the allies is not to be captured alive. - The arrival of the Koreans allowed Russia to continue the offensive in other areas of the front. - The video presumably shows wounded North Korean soldiers in a hospital. - The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zakharova called the DPRK friends of Russia and stated that they will never be forgotten.show more

The “final nail in the coffin" for Russia’s energy... influence in the Middle East: Iraq nationalises Russia's Lukoil oil field. Iraq has moved to nationalise Lukoil’s West Qurna-2 oil field, dealing a major blow to Russia’s energy revenues, Reuters reports. The company’s largest overseas asset had been bringing in an estimated $1.5–2 billion in net profit each year. Its loss is set to cost Russia’s budget tens of billions of rubles in missed income. Remember all that talk from Moscow about a "New World Order"? About how the "Global Majority" was going to stick together and move away from the West? Well, Iraq just hit the "Delete" button on that fantasy. For years, we were told Iraq was a key Russian partner. But the second the U.S. tightened the sanctions "handcuffs," Baghdad threw Russia under the bus to save its own bank account. And who did Iraq invite to take over? ExxonMobil and Chevron. Yes, the American "giants" Russia has been trying to replace for a decade are now walking back in to take the loot. This event isn't just a business deal gone wrong. It’s a collapse of the "alternative world order" that Moscow has been trying to build. Remember a month ago, when putin told the Iraqi President that their relationship has "never had a dark moment"? 🤡 “I fully agree with you: our relations are deep and long-standing. And throughout their entire history, there has never been a dark moment," putin told Rashid during talks in Turkmenistan on December 12, 2025. #Russia #Iraq #OilPolitics #GlobalMajority #Exxon #Chevronshow more

Ordinary Ukrainian cities: Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipro. Ordinary life, and... Russian strikes that should never have happened. Every day in Ukraine is marked by large-scale attacks with strike drones, mostly “Shaheds”—it was Iran that taught Russia how to produce such drones. Today, more than a dozen drones have already hit our Kharkiv, one of the largest cities in Ukraine. Ordinary residential buildings have been damaged, and so far 8 people have been wounded, including a 12-year-old girl. No country should have to go through this. And against this backdrop, speaking about easing pressure on Russia, lifting sanctions, and so on, is definitely inappropriate and unhelpful. Russia kills people every day and drags out this war. The U.S. proposal for an unconditional ceasefire has been on the table for half a month now. Pressure on Russia is needed to save lives and to make diplomacy work faster and more effectively. Without pressure on Russia, there will be no result.show more

Tusk: Russia Will Be Ready for War with NATO... in Just 18 Months “Today, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Alexis Grinkevich, confirmed to me the American assessments that Russia will be ready for confrontation in just a year and a half,” said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Grinkevich had previously warned of high risks of escalation with both Russia and China in the near future. On the same day, Putin’s aide Nikolai Patrushev issued this threat: “Any military aggression against the Kaliningrad region will face an immediate and crushing response using all means available to Russia, as outlined in the military doctrine and nuclear deterrence policy.” The irony is hard to miss: on the third year of its “victorious” war, Russia isn’t holding a parade in Kyiv — it’s panicking about defending Kaliningrad. Let’s be clear: this isn’t about defense. Russia has turned the exclave into a permanent pressure point, constantly militarizing it. A staged provocation in Kaliningrad could become Moscow’s excuse for attacking NATO. It’s a ticking time bomb for the alliance. The Kremlin is hinting that its next “special military operation” might be to “protect” the historically Russian Königsberg. The infamous Suwałki Gap — NATO’s most vulnerable corridor — is already being heavily fortified. Russia has also repeatedly threatened the Baltic states, known for their firm stance against Russian imperialism. At times, the Kremlin’s twisted fantasies spiral out of control. Case in point: a recent exhibition styled in outright Nazi aesthetics, where so-called “denazifiers” claimed some “inferior” peoples have no right to statehood. Apparently, their skulls aren’t shaped correctly. What these displays leave out — quite conveniently — is Russia’s own history: from Mongol vassals to Chinese puppets.show more

AFCON 2025 🇲🇦 You cant blame a country for... fans failing to turn out for every match in an AFCON tournament. The problem in Africa is that we are poor in mentality and wealth. Our friends in Europe plan to watch such games a year in advance and they travel to watch them Where it is hosted. For them, things like going on vacation and enjoying recreational activities like football ⚽️ is part of life. Fans from Africa failing to travel for AFCON is not a Moroccan 🇲🇦 problem. It’s an issue with lack of patronage for African football from we Africans. The onus lies with football fans in Africa like yourself and myself to play your own part by buying tickets and going to support your team at live games at AFCON. This is how it is done in other continents, it’s not rocket science. CAF also has to come up with promotional strategies to increase awareness and fan participation across Africa. Even if AFCON was held in Nigeria 🇳🇬 you don't expect all fans to go and watch Benin play Angola fans from those countries must also come and support their teams its their duty . In Africa we are more obsessed with English Premier league and European football ⚽️ forgetting to dance in our yard before we dance Abroad. Soka25east.comshow more

The mass murderer from Moscow is saying all this... to buy time and divide the West: Russia generally agrees that the list of 28 points from the US regarding Ukraine can serve as the basis for future agreements, — Putin "After the talks in Geneva between Ukraine and the US, they decided among themselves that all these 28 points should be divided into 4 components, all of this was passed on to us, and overall we agree that this can be the basis for future agreements," he said. More statements from the dictator: ▪️If the Armed Forces of Ukraine leave the territories they occupy, then hostilities will cease; if they do not leave, we will achieve this by force. ▪️There were no "peace treaty" projects regarding Ukraine, there was a set of issues for discussion. ▪️The draft plan needs to be put in "diplomatic language," as some points currently sound ridiculous. ▪️Russia is ready to put on paper the absence of aggressive plans towards Europe. ▪️We see that the American side takes our position into account in some respects; somewhere we definitely need to sit down and discuss. ▪️The American delegation is to come to Moscow next week.show more

This reparations push is straight hypocrisy dressed up as... justice. Look at the countries involved. A couple in Africa, a couple Arab Muslim ones (Mauritania counts as both), and one in South America. Most of them only got rid of slavery after heavy Western pressure, some not even that long ago. Mauritania was basically the last country on the planet to ban it in 1981, and it’s still an enforcement mess there. But you don’t see African or Caribbean nations demanding money from other Africans who captured and sold their own people for centuries. Or from the Arabs, who ran a slave trade that lasted way longer, moved millions across the Sahara and Indian Ocean, and routinely castrated male slaves so they couldn’t reproduce. That one gets a total pass. Instead, the finger points only at the West, the one civilization that actually decided slavery was wrong, abolished it at home, and then spent blood and ships forcing the rest of the world to stop. Britain’s navy patrolled the seas and lost men doing it. America lost over half a million lives in a civil war that ended it. Europe leaned on everyone else to follow. Africans were enslaving Africans long before any European ship showed up. They lost wars, got captured, and got sold. Europeans just bought what was already on the market. The whole supply chain started with Africans selling Africans. The only reason this “pay us” routine targets the West is because that’s where the money is. Everyone else is broke or doesn’t play the guilt game. It’s resentment plus opportunity. Nothing deeper. And this whole narrative likely didn’t start in Africa. It has the fingerprints of Western leftists and NGOs all over it, people who hate the West, cooked up the guilt trip in universities and activist circles, then found willing partners overseas to push it. Follow the money and the talking points. You’ll see where it really came from.show more

I’m grateful to our warriors for their precision –... today, Ukraine’s long-range sanctions have once again reached Perm, which is more than 1,500 kilometers from our border. Recently, there have also been important results in Chelyabinsk – up to 1,800 kilometers away, as well as in Yekaterinburg – nearly 2,000 kilometers away. The effects of Ukraine’s long-range capabilities have also been felt in Novorossiysk, Krymsk, Tuapse, and in the Samara and Nizhny Novgorod regions. We have repeatedly offered the Russian leadership the option of moving toward peace. In response, we have received only new Russian strikes. That is exactly why Ukraine’s long-range sanctions are extending to distant locations in Russia linked to its military-industrial complex, war infrastructure, and the financing of its aggression. Every day, Russia can make a choice and end its war. And not for a few hours in order to receive our permission to hold a parade in Moscow, but in a way that protects human lives. People must be valued, not parades. There is a need to establish peace, rather than running around the world’s capitals begging for a pause on May 9. We need peace. Thank you to everyone helping bring Russia to this realization.show more
