In this video, I explain why student protests work. It’s fascinating. I start by explaining how Apartheid South Africa was dismantled—a truly riveting chapter of world history. The financial pressure, combined with the global outcry against Apartheid, proved to be a significant blow to the regime. Ultimately, the protests...

Yes.. forget that the leader ship of this and those who made the biggest difference were those of the African national Congress and its armed branch in South Africa. The international movement was critical.. as actual support from Cuba. .. but more than anything. It was the South African people themselves.

History is being made by student brave activism across US campuses and the world in support of Palestine. It is inspiring a global anti-colonial movement. I was honoured to convey, while addressing students and faculty at Harvard last week, our gratitude to the next generation of world leaders. Link to the full live Q&A session:

During the apartheid era (1948–1994), the United States government maintained a complex and often contradictory relationship with the South African regime. Initially, U.S. foreign policy prioritized Cold War strategy over human rights, viewing apartheid South Africa as a reliable anti-communist ally in Africa. From the Truman to the Reagan administrations, American leaders emphasized "constructive engagement," favoring quiet diplomacy over economic sanctions. This approach allowed major U.S. corporations to continue operating in South Africa, providing vital economic support to the apartheid state. Despite growing domestic and international pressure, the U.S. resisted stringent sanctions until the 1980s. Grassroots movements, student activism, and congressional lobbying eventually led to the passage of the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986, which was signed into law despite President Ronald Reagan's veto. This legislation marked a significant shift in U.S. policy and imposed sweeping economic sanctions on South Africa, including bans on new investment and imports of certain goods. While the U.S. government had long avoided direct confrontation with the apartheid regime, the 1986 sanctions played a pivotal role in isolating it economically and politically. The international community increasingly condemned apartheid as a crime against humanity, and the U.S. ultimately aligned itself with this global consensus. The pressure contributed to the dismantling of apartheid and the peaceful transition to democracy in 1994.

Women of Africa joined us the women of Iran and Afghanistan to codify Gender Apartheid. Solidarity and sisterhood is always beautiful and indeed is the key for women to achieve their goals and dreams. Our campaign “United Against Gender Apartheid” is based on the stories of powerful women who experienced gender discrimination but instead of being silent, they are using their cameras, to be the the tru worriers and pushing for gender apartheid to be criminalized. We call on all the feminist men and women especially in the West to join our fight. We should support the voices of Iranian, Afghan, Sudanese etc women. Global campaigns against rape, execution, gender apartheid, and human rights are where we all can agree on. These are basic rights that any democratic country must support. #UnitedAgainstGenderApartheid #TogetherWeAreStronger Hager Eissa | هاجر عيسى

In my interview tonight with Patrick Christys on GB News I stated that the majority of the people of Iran stand with Israel and support the strikes against the regime of the Islamic Republic. The regime is on the brink of collapse, as we are witnessing its last moments in history. As the people of Iran are coming out victorious against the mullahs and this religious dictatorship, our leaders in the West must pay closer attention to the increasing levels of radicalism in the Western world, particularly in the UK. #IRGCterrorists

In my interview with LBC, I explained that this is a full scale revolution that is growing organically through the leadership of numerous leaders, which is why the regime has a much harder time to crack down on the protests as it cannot pinpoint a source. Now is the time for us to unite around what we all want, which is freedom, the overthrowing of the regime and establishment of the secular democratic system in Iran. The people of Iran continue to embrace the support of President Trump, as it gives them hope to continue towards the overthrow of this evil regime. I am sure that President Trump also appreciates the sacrifices being made by the people of Iran, not only for their own freedom, but the safety and security of the entire world. And on this point, it is time that other world leaders, including Sir Keir Starmer Keir Starmer break their silence and stand with the people of Iran. #IRGCterrorist #IranRevolution

Clip featuring Robinson Ramaite, the first President of SASCO (1991). Muthanyi Robinson Ramaite is a former student activist, political organiser, public servant and business leader whose political consciousness was forged during the height of the anti-apartheid struggle in the 1980s. Born in rural Venda to missionary-teacher parents, he became politically active while still in high school, participating in student protests against the militarisation of black education and the broader apartheid system in the former homelands. His activism intensified at the University of the North (Turfloop), one of the most politically militant campuses of the apartheid era and, at the time, a university under military occupation by the apartheid state. At Turfloop, Ramaite became deeply involved in the underground structures of the African National Congress (ANC) through the South African National Students Congress (SANSCO), participating in campaigns against financial exclusion, apartheid education, detentions, and state repression. He organised across campuses, teacher training colleges and communities throughout the Northern Transvaal, helping to build student and youth formations aligned to the Mass Democratic Movement. Ramaite rose rapidly through the ranks of student politics and became the Northern Transvaal Chairperson of SANSCO. Following the release of political prisoners and the unbanning of political organisations in 1990, he became part of the historic discussions aimed at building a unified non-racial student movement in South Africa. These engagements culminated in the merger between the predominantly black student organisation, SANSCO, and the historically white National Union of South African Students (NUSAS), leading to the formation of the South African Students Congress (SASCO) at Rhodes University in 1991. Ramaite was elected as the first President of SASCO in 1991 and served two consecutive terms until 1993. Under his leadership, SASCO became one of the most influential student formations during South Africa’s democratic transition, championing non-racialism, transformation in higher education, student access, democratic governance and the broader programme of social transformation. He belonged to a generation of activists shaped by underground political work, ideological engagement, student mobilisation and mass democratic struggle, helping sustain pressure against apartheid while repositioning the student movement for the democratic era. Following the advent of democracy, Ramaite transitioned into government service and, in 1999, at the age of 29, was appointed by Thabo Mbeki as Director-General of the Department of Public Service and Administration, becoming the youngest Director-General in South African history. In this role, he played a significant part in the post-apartheid restructuring of the South African state and helped lead the establishment of the country’s new public service administration following the first Government of National Unity. Ramaite was central to the development of the policy and governance frameworks that continue to underpin South Africa’s democratic public service. His work contributed to the institutionalisation of a unified, non-racial and professional public administration system designed to replace the fragmented apartheid bureaucracy inherited from the homeland and apartheid state structures. In 2004, he left government to pursue business interests and has since been involved in a number of commercial ventures across different sectors, including mining, investments and corporate leadership. He currently serves as Group Chief Executive Officer of Salungano Group, a JSE-listed company, and has also participated in various strategic policy and intellectual platforms focused on governance, economic transformation and development.

CAF — the Basque train manufacturer registered in Spain — builds, maintains, and now expands the Jerusalem Light Rail, which links illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank to West Jerusalem. Settlements, which are built on stolen Palestinian land and sustained through the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, are war crimes under international law. This is why CAF is on the UN database “black list” and is a priority target of the BDS movement. This is why Palestinian civil society called for a Global Week of Action against CAF. Activists in several countries answered that call. Let’s stop Israel’s apartheid train — for good.

I just saw that Mr George Galloway quoted my tweet, and it reminds me of when, as a political science undergrad at Nigeria’s premier university, I was researching the brutality of the apartheid regime in South Africa and came across his debate at the Oxford Union for the first time. In the debate, Mr Galloway spoke of a time he joined in the fight against apartheid in South Africa and asserted that he would never debate a supporter of apartheid because it is one of the worst forms of racism and fascism there are. It is a delight to see that he has remained steadfast in speaking out against apartheid, racism, and genocide, and that he has been consistent in upholding democracy, respect for international law, and the sovereignty of nations, especially those vulnerable to the whims of imperial predators. Attached is a video clip of his debate at the Oxford Union. Video credit: Oxford Union George Galloway

Pax Americana Is Collapsing: Trump as Yeltsin-Gorbachev, Brzezinski’s Plan Fails, and the West’s Financial Bubble Heads for Oblivion Sergey Glazyev: Unfortunately, the change from one system of management to another — I call this change from one world order to another world order — is going through a world war. And Americans are doing the same as the British did 100 years ago, trying to maintain their geopolitical dominance. They were trying to do this by creating conflicts all over the world and putting competitive nations in a struggle with each other. So Americans are doing the same. They introduced a trade war against China and a financial war against Russia. They supported the Nazi regime in Ukraine. They undermined their competitors and satellites in Europe. Finally, the idea maybe was to concentrate capital and power, but in fact, the result of this is the collapse of Pax Americana, and you see everything is going on according to the theory of long cycles. The transition period usually takes maybe 33–35 years, or one third of a century. The previous transition period started with World War I and finished with the collapse of the British Empire, maybe in 1947. But the final point was the Suez Crisis in 1953 or ’54, when Britain and France wanted to get control again over the Suez Canal, but the Soviet Union and the United States didn’t support this — from both sides — and everybody understood that the world changed. It became a new world system; I call it an imperial world system with a few superstates which divided the world between themselves. The present transition period started with the collapse of the Soviet Union and now is finishing with the collapse of the United States. The collapse of the Soviet Union happened because of the decrease in efficiency of the Soviet planning system, which the Chinese partially inherited. The collapse of Pax Americana now is explained by the decline in efficiency of the American financial system, which created financial bubbles instead of growth of production. But the point is that the leaders of the previous cycle really do not understand what is going on, and they’re trying to maintain their leadership through wars, using any instruments to maintain their dominance, but it doesn’t work in the situation when these states are losing their efficiency. And you see, I call President Trump like President Yeltsin and Gorbachev together in one person. So they really try to maintain their dominance, but in fact, they undermine their leadership by their own actions. And unfortunately, they are trying to implement, as I mentioned, the Brzezinski plan, which was focused on Ukraine and Iran, but it doesn’t work. And it was quite clear that these two conflicts will not lead to the results that Western geopoliticians expected. They expected that the Russian political system would collapse after the hybrid war started with the West because of sanctions, because Brzezinski thought that Russian oligarchs are very powerful and will change the power if the West introduces sanctions. But that didn’t happen, because Western politicians do not really understand the nation’s psychology: if our country is under any aggression, the population becomes concentrated around the power and supports the power, as well as in Iran, we see the same situation. So this plan didn’t work, but it was quite clear that it would not work, and it’s a pity that Western politicians really do not understand this and are trying to continue this kind of crazy policy in spite of the fact that the cost of this policy becomes higher and higher.
