What’s behind #GeoPolitical developments this week & #Zelenskyy’s 🇺🇦 terrible visit to 🇺🇸 Washington👇 🔸 #Ukraine 🇺🇦 President Zelenskyy 🇺🇦 signs (and un-signs apparently) a preliminary mineral agreement with US 🇺🇸, but #Trump 🇺🇸 does not provide security guarantees in return casting doubts over relationship. 🔸The press meeting is a PR disaster for Ukraine 🇺🇦 and highly humiliating for Zelenskyy 🇺🇦. 🔸#Türkiye 🇹🇷 and #France 🇫🇷 now appear to be indirectly competing over support for #Ukraine 🇺🇦. They are both offering to put boots on the ground and to be guarantors, provided that America supply some logistical help and intel, while the UK 🇬🇧 and Germany 🇩🇪 could be co-supporters. 🔸Türkiye 🇹🇷 met with a British security delegation yesterday, while simultaneously meeting with Russian officials and delegations. 🔸#Macron 🇫🇷🇪🇺 and #Merz 🇩🇪🇪🇺 had dinner together last night, while Berlin and Paris have entered a new phase of highest level military, industrial and intelligence cooperation. 🔸Here’s the problem: Russia 🇷🇺 doesn’t want Germany 🇩🇪🇪🇺, US 🇺🇸nor UK 🇬🇧anywhere near Kiev 🇺🇦, while Paris 🇫🇷🇪🇺and Ankara 🇹🇷 are perceived slightly more neutral. 🔸In addition, Trump 🇺🇸 remains unconvinced about supporting Europeans in providing security guarantees. 🔸Trump intelligently waits for Ankara, Paris and London to become - seperately - more desperate so that they start to outbid each other, while #Washington gains the negotiation-upper-hand from them on other policy portfolios like Syria 🇸🇾, energy-LNG etc. 🔸 This is where the negotiations get interesting, since each country (Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, Türkiye 🇹🇷, France/Germany 🇪🇺 and UK 🇬🇧) travel to Washington to offer different deals or formulas to Trump in order to establish a peaceful solution in Ukraine 🇺🇦 which also protects their own interests and increases their regional geo-economic and geo-political ambitions. 🔸It’s clear (especially after tonight) that Zelenskyy 🇺🇦 is lowest on the food chain at the moment. Starmer 🇬🇧 is also very dependent on Trump and Four Eyes, therefore also making the UK 🇬🇧 weak. Macron 🇫🇷🇪🇺 and Erdogan 🇹🇷 are the only two European powers in positions of strength as both have channels to Russia 🇷🇺 , China 🇨🇳 and #India 🇮🇳(Türkiye less so) which provide a counterweight to Trump 🇺🇸. Paris 🇫🇷🇪🇺 is a nuclear power ☢️🚀 and now has Berlin 🇩🇪🇪🇺 under its wing, since Merz was elected. Increasingly this applies for Poland 🇵🇱🇪🇺, Baltics🇪🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇺, Nordics 🇩🇰🇫🇮🇸🇪🇳🇴🇪🇺, Spain 🇪🇸🇪🇺, Portugal 🇵🇹🇪🇺 and others 🇪🇺. 🔸Highest on the “Trump food chain” is Israel 🇮🇱, at odds with Ankara 🇹🇷, and also in coordination with Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦. Erdogan 🇹🇷 is in a semi-vulnerable situation: if he only aims for Syria 🇸🇾 stability he may loose his ambitions in #CentralAsia, #Caucasus or the #Gulf, while the Eastern Mediterranean tensions could be brewing, which risk putting at peril Türkiye’s 🇹🇷 natural economic and geo-strategic home: Continental Europe 🇪🇺. [END].

In Russia - a brilliantly shot mini-film by German director Vincent Urban about the most beautiful country. Of course, this is a film about Russia, which is called "In Russia". In it, he showed not only the natural beauties, but also the types of different people. There are hooligans, shepherds, and soldiers. The film really turned out to be very large-scale, although it only lasts 6.5 minutes. It's breathtaking. The atmosphere of our country is so brilliantly conveyed. In 6.5 minutes, absolutely different people with different needs and desires, living in different natural and climatic zones, are shown. And all of this is our huge, beautiful country, Russia 俄罗斯 🇷🇺 --------------------------------------------- The Soviet Union (USSR), which was a communist state under Marxist-Leninist ideology, dissolved on December 26, 1991. The Russian Federation that emerged is a separate country with a different system. Key Facts About Modern Russia - Constitution and Government: Russia's 1993 Constitution establishes it as a democratic federal republic with a multi-party system, separation of powers (though in practice it's highly centralized under the president), and recognition of ideological diversity. No single ideology, including communism, is declared as state ideology. It describes Russia as a "social state" but operates within a market economy framework. - Economy: Russia has a mixed capitalist economy with private ownership, markets, oligarchs, and significant state involvement in key sectors (e.g., energy). It is not based on collective ownership of the means of production or central planning as in Soviet communism. - Politics: Vladimir Putin and the dominant United Russia party lead an authoritarian system. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF/KPRF) exists as the second-largest party and adheres to Marxist-Leninist ideas in theory. However, it typically gets 10-20% of the vote, functions as a systemic opposition (often patriotic and socially conservative), and does not control the government. - Russia is not listed among the remaining countries with communist governments (e.g., China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, North Korea). Putin has nostalgia for certain Soviet aspects (like strong state power), but he has criticized Lenin, pursued nationalist policies, and built a system based on personalist authoritarianism, state capitalism, and Orthodox Christian cultural elements rather than communist ideology. In short, while Soviet-era symbols and nostalgia persist for some, Russia's current system is fundamentally post-communist.

I received the 2025 Difference Day Honorary Title for Freedom of Expression from VUB & Université libre de Bruxelles. In my remarks / acceptance speech Before the rectors of both universities, academics, journalists, and human rights defenders, I used that moment not to celebrate, but to name contradictions. I was honored for speaking freely, while in Rwanda - the country I come from - those who dare to speak are silenced, imprisoned, exiled, or killed. I spoke the names that Kagame’s regime tries to erase like Kizito Mihigo, Innocent Bahati, Boniface Twagirimana, Diane Shima Diane Rwigara & John Williams Ntwali. These are not isolated tragedies / cases. They reflect a system built on fear, repression, and the elimination of dissent. I also reminded the audience that Kagame’s regime extends its violence beyond Rwanda’s borders into the Democratic Republic of Congo, where millions have died in conflicts fueled by Kigali’s direct involvement, documented by the United Nations and human rights groups. Rwanda is too often praised abroad as a “success story.” Clean streets and growth statistics are showcased while the prisons, disappearances, and wars are ignored. This is not stability - it is repression, marketed to the world. My message was clear: Donors must attach real human rights conditions to aid, Journalists must investigate disappearances and political prisoners, Universities must preserve testimonies and provide space to exiled scholars, Policymakers must stop enabling repression and confront it with action. Freedom of expression is not a gift. It is not a privilege granted by governments. It is a right. It is a lifeline. And in Kagame’s Rwanda, it remains under attack. Watch my full speech here 📽️.

The claim that South African civil servants are the highest paid in the world as a percentage of GDP is not entirely accurate, but it’s based on a partial truth that’s often used in political debates—especially when arguing for wage freezes or austerity. Here’s a breakdown: 1. High Public Sector Wage Bill (relative to GDP) •South Africa does spend a large portion of its GDP on public sector wages. •According to National Treasury and several reports from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, public sector compensation has hovered around 12–13% of GDP, which is above the global average (often closer to 9%). •This figure includes all levels of government: national, provincial, and local—especially in education, health, police, and administration. 2. Not the “Highest Paid” Civil Servants •That does not mean South African civil servants are the best paid individually. •In fact, if you compare average civil servant salaries (adjusted for purchasing power) across countries like the UK, Canada, Germany, or the US, South African workers earn far less. •The high wage bill is due to: •Size of the public service (number of employees) •Senior management and wage disparities •Historical increases outpacing inflation •A shrinking GDP base, making the percentage seem larger 3. Context Matters •In countries with smaller economies, even moderate wage bills can appear large as a share of GDP. •The state has also cut public sector employment in recent years, especially by not filling vacant posts—ironically increasing average costs per employee while reducing services. Bottom Line: South Africa does spend a high percentage of GDP on civil service wages, but it’s misleading to say that civil servants are the “highest paid in the world.” It’s more accurate to say that the wage bill is disproportionately high relative to the size of the economy, not that workers are overpaid.

Many people in Europe are skeptical about Russia's intentions to attack Europe. They believe that Putin (Russia) will be satisfied with just Ukraine. That is why even some politicians and intellectuals voice the call to "give Ukraine to Putin" and thus "save Europe." This outlook is wrong. And it is very dangerous, above all for European countries. The truth is that Putin has turned Russia into a war machine that is very difficult to stop. And he does not want to stop it because the current regime survives only thanks to war. Arguments on this subject are presented by the OpenMinds research project: ◾️ Russia has switched to a war economy, and the reversal process is extremely difficult; ◾️ growing amounts of intelligence indicate hybrid, cyber, and information operations, as well as sabotage attempts in Europe; ◾️ consolidation, increasing influence, and coordination of the authoritarian axis and its satellite states. ‼️ But there is another important argument that is often overlooked: ◾️ Russia's preparation of a new militarized generation. Moscow has normalized war for younger generations of Russians. Russian propaganda has already turned Ukrainians into "Nazis and fascists" - subhumans who must be killed. Now it is doing the same with Europeans. A new OpenMinds investigation, "Kids with Drones," analyzed how stories involving children are spread on Russian social media to promote war. The most important findings include the integration of drone piloting programs into schools, camps, and even kindergartens, alongside the normalization of a narrative of existential confrontation with the West. OpenMinds analyzed 30,000 posts across 4,000 Telegram channels. Here are the conclusions: ◾️ In just the first seven months of 2025, there were 8,600 unique posts about involving children in work/training with drones - six times more than in the whole of 2022. This means that it is not only the existence of such programs that is important, but also the work of information campaigns to normalize them in society and create a new paradigm of upbringing. ◾️ More than 2,000 posts in July set a record since the start of the full-scale invasion. One of the most widely shared stories was the opening of infrastructure for drone 'competitions' in six kindergartens in Perm. ◾️ It's not only about Russian children. Drone programs are also being promoted among Ukrainian children in the occupied territories — 963 posts were found about tournaments and learning sessions, often organized by Russian military personnel. ◾️ About one-third of the posts relate to education - lessons and courses ranging from kindergarten classes to the "Cadres for UAVs" federal program within the framework of University 2035. And in May, the education ministry even released a textbook for 8th-9th grade students with guides on how to control FPV drones. The full report can be viewed at the link:

In recent years, a misleading and dangerous narrative has gained traction in Somali political discourse, one that reduces Puntland to a tribal entity while positioning Somalia as the only legitimate national framework. This notion is not only inaccurate but also undermines the political reality on the ground. Puntland is not a tribe, it is a functioning government. And the people of Puntland are justified in putting Puntland first because it is the only government that has consistently provided them with services, stability, and a sense of civic belonging. A government, by definition, is an institution that delivers essential services such as security, education, healthcare, infrastructure, and public administration. It operates under a legal framework, often anchored in a constitution, and is staffed by institutions that enforce laws, collect revenue, and govern society. Puntland has fulfilled all of these functions. Since its founding in 1998, Puntland has operated with a constitution, a regional parliament, executive leadership, and a judiciary. It has established police forces, intelligence services, and military units that maintain peace in its territories. Puntland has built and operated public schools, hospitals, and administrative offices across its regions. These are the markers of a functioning government, not the features of a tribe. There is no tribe called Puntland. Rather, Puntland is a coalition of diverse communities and clans who voluntarily came together to build a regional authority in response to the collapse of Somalia’s central government. To describe Puntland as a tribe is to fundamentally misunderstand or deliberately distort the nature of its political structure. Tribes are kinship-based social formations; they do not have constitutions, flags, or formal governments that deliver public goods. Puntland is a political entity, a state government within the federal system of Somalia, that exists because it filled a vacuum created by the central state’s failure. That failure is not theoretical, it is lived and real. For decades, the Federal Government of Somalia has been unable to provide basic services to its citizens. Many regions of the country have been mired in conflict, neglect, and administrative collapse. In contrast, Puntland emerged as a self-reliant response to this vacuum. It did not wait for Mogadishu to bring security, law, and order. Instead, it built those systems on its own, using local capacity, leadership, and popular support. While the international community debated Somalia’s future, Puntland created one for its people. This is why many Puntlanders identify with Puntland first. It is not out of tribalism or secessionist ambition but because Puntland is the government that has served them. Loyalty is earned through service and protection. National identity cannot be forced from above; it must emerge from the legitimacy and performance of institutions. For Puntlanders, Puntland is not only a region but also a source of security, education, opportunity, and governance. In this context, putting Puntland first is a rational, even patriotic, act. Critics who attempt to diminish Puntland’s role by labeling it a tribal entity are engaging in a harmful narrative. Not only does this view ignore the facts, but it also disrespects the hard work of those who built Puntland’s institutions and continue to uphold them. Reducing Puntland to a tribe is a political distortion designed to strip its people of their agency and undermine their political achievements. It is both factually wrong and morally irresponsible.
