The West never wanted Col. Gaddafi to leave power — they wanted him dead. In 2011, Gadaffi indicated that he was prepared to discuss stepping aside and handing over power to the African Union if his safety could be guaranteed. The African Union dispatched a High-Level Committee of African heads of state and then African Union Peace and Security Commissioner Moussa Faki to Libya. But NATO enforced a no-fly zone, and the African Union delegation's aircraft was prevented from entering Libyan airspace. They turned thier plane around mid flight. Just imagine it: foreign powers dictating terms to African heads of state, over African skies, during an African crisis. The West knew all too well, that as long as Gadaffi was alive, his dream of a united Africa was still alive. He had to die.

Former South African President Thabo Mbeki yesterday delivered a striking reflection on African leadership while speaking at an event commemorating NEPAD, using a historical anecdote from Zambia that carries strong parallels with the growing controversy around Zimbabwe’s Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 (CAB 3). Mbeki recalled how former Zambian President Frederick Chiluba once attempted to extend his stay in power by seeking a third presidential term in violation of Zambia’s constitutional framework. According to Mbeki, leaders within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) quietly intervened to stop the move in defence of constitutionalism and democratic order. He said regional leaders at the time looked among themselves for someone with the moral authority and political credibility to confront Chiluba directly. They settled on former Botswana President Festus Mogae, whom Mbeki described as clean and respected. Mogae was then tasked with delivering a firm message to Chiluba that the region would not tolerate the undermining of constitutional term limits. Mbeki used the story to argue that Africa’s leadership standards have sharply declined, saying the continent has regressed and no longer demonstrates the same collective political courage that once existed within the region. His remarks inevitably draw parallels with developments in Zimbabwe, where critics argue that CAB 3 seeks to fundamentally reshape the country’s democratic framework while creating pathways for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to extend his political influence and remain in power beyond existing constitutional limits. Indirectly, Mbeki’s remarks amount to a devastating commentary on the current state of leadership in Southern Africa. The former South African leader was effectively suggesting that today there is no respected regional statesman willing, or able, to stand up and stop what is unfolding in Zimbabwe. The regression Mbeki spoke about is now visible in real time, where regional leaders increasingly watch constitutional manipulation unfold in silence, avoiding confrontation while democratic institutions are weakened before their eyes.

South Africa is triggering a diplomatic rift with the United States. After our ambassador Leo Brent Bozell III (U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of South Africa) protested the use of "Kill the Boer" by prominent South African politicians, he was summoned by South Africa's government. Support for the "Kill the Boer" movement is not a fringe issue in South Africa, only limited to a few radicals - it is supported by South Africa's government. The United States should take all necessary steps to reign in South Africa - or make them pay the consequences.

I think President Donald J. Trump's view on "birthright" citizenship is consistent with the Constitution, federal law, legal precedent, and history: The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text. Among the categories of individuals born in the United States and not subject to the jurisdiction thereof, the privilege of United States citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States at the time of said person’s birth was lawful but temporary (such as, but not limited to, visiting the United States under the auspices of the Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a student, work, or tourist visa) and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth.

THE BOOK THAT TERRIFIED THE UNITED STATES Kwame Nkrumah scared the United States to such an extent that the CIA plotted his overthrow in a coup d'État executed in 1966. In a memorandum to then-U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson, Robert W. Komer, a special assistant to the U.S. National Security Affairs, wrote, "Nkrumah was doing more to undermine our interests than any other black African. [However], the new military regime is almost pathetically pro-Western." While the United States tried to maintain friendly relations with Ghana at one point, after the publication of his book "Neo-colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism," the West began to plot Nkrumah's downfall. In this video, Pan-African author, journalist, and professor, Milton Allimadi, discusses why the U.S. was so threatened by this book. He also talks about the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), a new Pan-African bloc that is striking fear into the hearts of imperialists everywhere.

THE BOOK THAT GOT NKRUMAH DEPOSED? Today marks 59 years since pan-African icon and Ghana's founding leader Kwame Nkrumah was removed from office in a military coup engineered by the CIA. After leading Ghana to independence from British colonial rule in 1957, Nkrumah embarked on a mission to unite the African people on the continent and in the diaspora. It was his firm belief that Africans share not only a common history, but a common destiny. He was one of the founding leaders of the African Union's predecessor, the Organization of African Unity, in 1963. In a key speech at the opening summit, he eloquently made the case for African unity. He explained that true independence and prosperity could only be attained if African nations united on both the economic and political front. He said this was the only way they could defeat the menace posed by the neo-colonial system, which was hell-bent on maintaining its control over the continent, even as most countries attained 'flag independence.' To the CIA, revolutionary pan-African leaders like Nkrumah were a danger that needed to be 'neutralised.' Their words were seen as threats by the US establishment. It is perhaps telling that it was only after Nkrumah's overthrow that the IMF engaged in debt restructuring with Ghana. In this clip, Nkrumah's editorial assistant, June Milne, relates how his book - Neo-Colonialism, The Last Stage of Imperialism - was the last straw for the US. In it, he detailed how Western countries were looting Africa's resources. Milne claims the book spurred Washington into sponsoring the coup that removed him.

A youth asks how Muslims can “infiltrate the Western wolves” in a Muslim Association of Canada 2026 convention session titled “Proactive Muslims & the responsibility for developing our society.” The question followed a sermon on Islamic responsibilities by Ebrahim Rasool, the South African Ambassador to the United States, was declared persona non grata and expelled from the US in March 2025 by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The expulsion was triggered by Rasool’s comments during a webinar where he accused President Donald Trump of mobilizing "white supremacism" and projecting "white victimhood" as political strategy.

OMALI YESHITELA: AFRICAN UNION WAS FORMED TO DIVIDE, NOT UNIFY In 2019, at Oxford Union’s debate society, African People’s Socialist Party (African People’s Socialist Party on X) founder and Chairman Omali Yeshitela provided an insightful breakdown of why the African Union—originally the Organisation of African Unity (OAU)—was not formed to unite Africa, but to keep the continent divided. Chairman Omali Yeshitela (X) asserts Kwame Nkrumah (1909-72), Ghana’s first president and founding father of the OAU, held a vision of a United States of Africa that would be fully integrated—politically, socially and economically. Instead, the OAU formed as a compromise due to the ideological differences between the Casablanca and Monrovia groups. The former sought to dismantle colonial borders, while the latter sought to operate within them. Unfortunately, the OAU fortified colonial borders that have prevented meaningful progress for Africa, leaving the continent divided and economically vulnerable to continued exploitation, which Nkrumah had warned about.

[AGOA] ON U.S. and SOUTH AFRICA BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP What Redi Tlhabi, Chris Maroleng, and Anthony Carroll had to tell the U.S. Congress About South Africa Redi Tlhabi: “There are a lot of politicians who say stupid things. there is a minister, who recently said something about the CIA funding non profit organizations. That’s a lot of nonsense and it gets called out in South Africa.” “It is true that South Africa benefits richly from its relationship with the United States, far more than it does from its relationship with Russia. South Africa also has far more in common with the United States and shares common values and norms - an independent judiciary, checks and balances, a free press and a robust civil society that pushes back against state excesses. There is much to value and salvage from this relationship. However, African states don't want to seem weak. They do not want to be seen to be doing the bidding of the United States. Their peers and constituencies may punish them for that.” Full 📃 Bio: Chris Maroleng: “The US and Africa as a whole can forge a relationship that is mutually beneficial and supports the development goals of both parties. May we be so bold as to suggest that our organisation is the perfect intermediary for such interventions, given the antipathy displayed by members of the governing party to certain messages?” Full 📃: Bio: Anthony Carroll: “And SA has a robust civil society that forced President Thabo Mbeki to abandon his disastrous policies on HIV/AIDS and took to the streets to protest the excesses of "State Capture" during the destructive presidency of Jacob Zuma. Recently, a public ombudsman was removed by Parliament on suspicion of corruption and overreach. Yet, while clearly not a failed state, by many measures, South Africa is a failing one.” Full 📃: Bio: — FULL 🖇️

KWAME TURE: 'AFRICANS WANT CONTINENTAL UNITY!' As Ghanaian President and Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah once famously stated, 'Pan-Africanism or perish!' When Pan-Africanists talk about the need to fight for a unified Pan-African state with a single government and universal citizenship for all Africans, we are often told that we are not being realistic. But, let's slow down and think about it. Nowhere in the world is the desire for continent-wide unity greater than on the African continent, as Kwame Ture remarks in this clip. Every country you go to in Africa, you can meet Pan-Africanists. Ture, a founding member of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party, was born in Trinidad and organised in the United States before moving to Africa. The masses understand that, after 500 years of enslavement, kidnapping, colonialism, theft, genocide, terrorism and neo-colonialism, the only way we can build a new future is if Africans across the world come together as one. What do you think of Ture's remarks? Let us know in the comments.

'U.S. EMPIRE IN DECLINE, CHOOSE AFRICA' We hear very often that only two options are on the table for Black voters in the United States: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. But could other choices be available? In this exclusive interview with African Stream, Onyesonwu Chatoyer, a member of All-African People's Revolutionary Party (AAPRP)international (All-African People's Revolutionary Party (AAPRP) on X) and Hood Communist☭🇿🇦, raises the possibility of organising for collective worldwide African liberation as a viable option beyond voting for Democratic or Republican candidates that ultimately work against the interests of the entire African diaspora, with drone strikes, police violence and Congolese child slavery being a few examples. What Chatoyer lays out is in the tradition of many revolutionary Pan-Africanists, such as Malcolm X (1925-65) and Kwame Ture (1941-98), who worked tirelessly to organise African communities in the United States. Pan-Africanists advocate for a strong, unified African continent to protect Africans worldwide. 'I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican. And, I don't even consider myself an American,' said Malcolm X in his famous 'The Ballot or the Bullet' (3 April 1964) speech. At another moment, he said, 'Our hope is in a strong Africa. When Africa is strong, our position in America will be one of respect.' A unified Pan-African state could issue sanctions or cut off trade with any country that harms the African diaspora. Malcolm X once explained this using the example of China, which the United States has made an enemy, allowing Sinophobic racism to rise in the US. However, US police forces would not be able to get away with massacring Chinese people because China could retaliate. What do you think of Chatoyer's position? Let us know in the comments below.

🎯M23 will be taught in South African military schools! Why? It was the first time since World War II that South African troops were captured by enemy forces. It was also the first time they were captured by a non-state armed group. South Africa has been in the DRC longer than the US was in Afghanistan. This expert notes that the South African government may have concluded there was nothing more it could do in the DRC, especially after the January 2025 rout. That is true. Sadly, while South Africans are reflecting on the condition of their army, which is a legitimate concern, they have refused to reflect on the purpose of their mission in the DRC. Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki would never have backed a regime bent on exterminating part of its population. They would never have supported a government that recruits the FDLR, a group formed by the remnants of genocidal forces. Never. The same is true for Nyerere. There was a time when South Africa (and Tanzania) offered the world a moral compass. That South Africa no longer exists. It has been replaced by corrupt, populist politicians who have forgotten their own liberation struggle and chosen instead to embrace an apartheid-like, genocidal regime in Kinshasa. I am talking to you too Julius Sello Malema ! The moral decay came first. The military defeat merely followed. As South Africa reflects, it should reflect on that too.

Sadly, while South Africans are reflecting on the condition of their army, which is a legitimate concern, they have refused to reflect on the purpose of their mission in the DRC. Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki would never have backed a regime bent on exterminating part of its population. They would never have supported a government that recruits the FDLR, a group formed by the remnants of genocidal forces. Never. The same is true for Nyerere. There was a time when South Africa (and Tanzania) offered the world a moral compass. That South Africa no longer exists. It has been replaced by corrupt, populist politicians who have forgotten their own liberation struggle and chosen instead to embrace an apartheid-like, genocidal regime in Kinshasa. I am talking to you too Julius Sello Malema ! The moral decay came first. The military defeat merely followed. As South Africa reflects, it should reflect on that too.
