🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨🚨 We’ve just filed a lawsuit against CNN to protect FREE SPEECH during the Trump vs Biden debate. CNN’s refusal to allow independent commentary stifles diverse voices and violates fair competition. This is not just about a debate; it’s about preserving the integrity of public discourse in America. 👉 We demand that CNN allow independent voices to provide live commentary. Americans deserve to hear from all sides, especially on such a crucial day. We will NOT stand by as CNN ignores non-partisan norms, silences candidates with mic mutes and a lack of in-studio audience, silences independent media, and silences public commentary during the debate by banning streamers and Youtubers from covering the event. This is corporate discrimination, unfair competition, a felony under the Antitrust Act, violates FCC regulations, violates the Communications Act of 1934, violates the First Amendment, and violates the fair use doctrine. All we ask is that CNN allow independent creators to comment on the debate stream, so that Americans can listen to the commentary, fact-checkers, or whomever they'd like to, during one of the most critical days in America's history. CNN's censorship is unAmerican and unDemocratic. By silencing debate commentary and threatening DMCA takedowns of the debate stream, CNN destroys the public forum which is a Presidential Debate. They ruin election integrity and they rob Americans of critical perspective at the most-critical time: DURING the debate. Want no commentary? Go to CNN. Want Fox's opinion? Listen on Fox News. Want Patrick Bet-David, Tim Pool, Breaking Points Commentary, or David Pakman Show? You should have the right to choose and listen to their commentary DURING the most critical moments. We will not stand by and do nothing. We will fight for what's right in America. We will pay for it. We will lead the fight against the corruption of CNN. This isn't even the first time CNN's tried to silence me. But the censorship ends NOW. 🚨Retweet and share to help us get an emergency injunction today! This is critical for America!!! 🚨 I hope to stream on X, Twitch, and YouTube my debate commentary today. See you soon.

During his visit to India, Putin, together with Russian propagandist Simonyan, launched the propaganda channel RT India. "Russia Today's goal is not simply propaganda for Russia and its culture or its position on domestic and international affairs. Above all, Russia Today strives to provide its listeners and viewers with truthful information about our country and what is happening in the world," he said. According to Putin, in this respect, RT significantly differs from "the propaganda machine of many Western sources of information, which, in essence, reflect the position of their states." Meanwhile, Simonyan made it onto the Financial Times' list of the most influential people of 2025 in the Leaders category. Overall, the list includes 25 people who "for better or worse ... are shaping the way we live today." Journalist Julia Ioffe called her "perhaps Vladimir Putin's most fiercely loyal messenger, his Valkyrie of propaganda." "She was always a Putinist, which is why in 2005, at the tender age of 25, she became the founding editor-in-chief of Russia Today, the now multilingual, global Kremlin-controlled media network rechristened RT," the text says.

MURDER MOST FOUL: Covert Action, Mockingbird Media, and JFK By M.C. Armstrong If we want the truth about the JFK assassination, we have to fight for it. And we need allies. As Oliver Stone and James DiEugenio recently learned, ABC News is not an ally of the truth. Has one single American news outlet covered the major JFK discoveries of 2025? Yes. One. CNN failed the JFK test in 2025. The New York Times and TIME failed the JFK test. NBC News, CBS, and Fox News all failed to cover the big three JFK assassination stories of 2025: The George Joannides files, the Cliff Carter tape, and the Bill Harvey travel records. But CovertAction Magazine passed the test. CovertAction is a legendary publication that covered, via print and video, all the major JFK news in 2025. They hosted a roundtable with legendary JFK researcher and former The Washington Post reporter, Jefferson Morley, and allowed the conversation to follow the facts. We debated the CIA, Lyndon Johnson, and Israel. We talked about Bill Harvey, George Joannides, and Cliff Carter. We discussed the problem of binary thinking and the recent CIA plot to kill Julian Assange. Therefore, today, I am voting with my dollar and my conscience. Because I value peace, truth, free speech, and uncontrolled opposition to censorship, I am donating to CovertAction. Join me? Elon Musk, I am aware that this conversation about media suppression and the JFK assassination doesn't happen without the global village here on X. So, thank you for your courage. Join me in stuffing the stocking of CovertAction? Here's the CovertAction JFK conversation for free (preview below, link in comments).

🇧🇷 Pepe Escobar nails it again: while the empire rants and the circus ringmaster juggles tariffs, BRICS builds. This “void summit”? A seismic shift. The West clings to SWIFT and illusion—meanwhile, the sun is rising all across the Global South. G7? Dustbin of history. Pepe Escobar on BRICS 2025 Rio Summit “Hi, everybody. Welcome to Rio. Sunset. And we even had sunshine today. Why? Because it's the end of the BRICS 2025 Rio Summit, which was, in fact, a huge success, considering that we couldn't talk about great expectations before that. Including, of course, what Western mainstream media—they were carping about it and pointing to it all the time, saying, ‘Xi Jinping and Putin didn't come, so this is a void summit.’ Stupid! It was extremely important in every field in terms of support for BRICS nations who are under fire—literally, in some cases—by the empire. A new architecture, geo-finance architecture, and payment settlements architecture, following the Russians—all the hard work that they put in last year, even before the summit in Kazan, in terms of the NDB. And this was announced by Russian finance minister Siluanov, one of the most important figures at the summit—the NDB becoming a definitive platform for loans, for projects, mega projects, all across the BRICS sphere and then going to BRICS partners as well, bypassing SWIFT. Immense, with immense repercussions. In terms of business, we could see different organizations and women’s organizations, including from all over BRICS partners, presenting their projects at the Business Council, which is something absolutely outstanding—a whole day of networking with the whole Global South in the same space. This is something very rare to see. You usually see this in Russian forums, but sometimes you don't have the full Global South. Here, we had the full Global South. Outstanding. Very, very important—what Lula and Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, left quite clear: that this is not an anti-Western club, but is a club that is forging the Global South’s rules for a developing system, a different system of international relations and geoeconomic and geopolitical relations. Very important. And obviously we had the backlash from the empire, with the circus ringmaster saying that he’s going to apply—who knows—10%, 20%, 1000%, 1%, 0% of tariffs on BRICS, BRICS partners, and everybody that is linked to BRICS and BRICS partners. Nobody cares! This is what the other side does. They change the narrative. They coin stupid narratives. And BRICS—they are a serious organization working for a serious revamping of the international system. And the fact that there were a lot of discussions about reform of the UN Security Council—this is not going to happen. They’re never going to give anything to BRICS. Reform of the IMF—it’s not going to happen. They’re never going to give extra seats for Global South nations. The Global South has to work on their own platforms and a different paradigm of international relations. And this is what we saw here. Not only these two days of the summit, but the two or three previous days—preparatory days—including the absolutely crucial BRICS Business Council discussions that lasted for a full day. So, in the end, a huge success, which will not be recognized in the West—but who cares?—already recognized all across the Global South, and it’s the Global South that matters. 85% of the population, much, much wealthier than the G7, which is destined for the dustbin of history. And now that the sun is finally setting in Rio, the sun is rising all across the Global South. Thanks, everybody, and greetings from Copacabana.”

Zimbabwe has been elected as one of the 10 non-permanent members of the 15-member United Nations Security Council for a two-year term, beginning on 1 January 2027 and ending on 31 December 2028. Zimbabwe will become one of three African countries serving on the 15-member Council, joining the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Liberia. The DRC and Liberia were elected in June 2025 and are serving two-year terms from 2026 to 2027 on the body responsible for maintaining international peace and security. For the next two years, Zimbabwe will have a seat at the table when the world discusses wars, conflicts, sanctions, peacekeeping missions, and other major international security crises. The country will be able to vote on Security Council resolutions and participate directly in debates and negotiations on some of the most important global issues. Although it will not have veto power, which remains reserved for the five permanent members, the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, and France, the seat is a significant diplomatic achievement. It raises Zimbabwe’s international profile and gives the country a voice in some of the world’s most important security discussions, although it does not give Zimbabwe the power to block Security Council decisions. Zimbabwe’s election to the United Nations Security Council marks the country’s third time on the powerful body. It previously served as a non-permanent member in 1983–1984 and again in 1991–1992. Its return marks the first time under President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s presidency. Beyond serving on the United Nations Security Council, Zimbabwe’s main gain is diplomatic influence. It brings no veto power or direct financial benefits, but it does raise Zimbabwe’s international profile and gives it a place in some of the world’s most important diplomatic discussions.

TOP FIVE MISREPRESENTATIONS OF THE CHINA PARADE The themes of the parade to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the most harmful war in history were: justice, peace and humanity. The three banners that flew overhead, said: “Justice shall prevail”, “Peace shall prevail”, and “The people shall prevail.” How many international media reported this? The answer: zero. Not only that, but they completely misrepresented the event to the world. This list could be very very long, but I will just give you the five most absurd examples of misreporting. . 5. CNN said that the entire event was staged... "for Donald Trump?" Er, no. 4. Sydney Morning Herald turned the story into an attack on an Australian man who dared to visit Australia’s biggest trading partner. The coverage of the war anniversary parade was headlined: “This was purely a show of might.” Not true. 3. The Guardian’s Helen Davidson said that one of the key messages was that Xi wanted to annex Taiwan as Chinese territory. Except Taiwan is already Chinese territory, and Taiwan was never mentioned once. 2. The Australian reported the event as a re-enactment of a Hitler parade, having forgotten that Chinese were allies who fought against Hitler’s axis powers. 1. And number one – we have Donald Trump, who implied that the reason the Chinese was doing the parade was that they were hoping Trump was watching. Trump interview: “It was a beautiful ceremony. I thought it was very very impressive. But I understood the reason they were doing it and they were hoping I was watching. And I was watching.” Which brings us back to CNN, saying that the entire event was staged for Trump. For one man. And that, boys and girls, is why we never believe anything the western media says about China.

🚨THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THIS MORNING'S CNN EXCLUSIVE ISN'T THE EMAIL ITSELF. IT'S THE DAY IT WENT OUT. An officer in US Central Command's intelligence branch asked a broad group of military analysts for new creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran. Two sources confirmed it to CNN. Officials said that kind of crowdsourced request over email is unusual. It was sent Wednesday. Saturday night is when the President posted that the US was locked and loaded at levels of military terror not seen since World War Two, then canceled the strike because the perimeters of a deal had been agreed to. Three days earlier, the command running the war was asking its own people for better ideas. CNN frames it as a sign of limited and potentially unpalatable options, and reports that even America's most powerful conventional weapons are unlikely to finish the job on the remaining nuclear sites. Sources say strikes on Pickaxe Mountain and other locations have been actively prepared. That isn't weakness. It's a hard problem. Ordnance can flatten a facility. It cannot guarantee what survives under a mountain, and it cannot make anybody sign a piece of paper. Which explains the rest of the weekend. Tehran denied agreeing to reopen the strait, through Guard-affiliated media citing no one by name. President Pezeshkian spent Sunday defending a different signed memorandum. Former Ambassador Tom Nides said regime change isn't happening. And CENTCOM published a blockade count dated yesterday....thirty-five commercial vessels redirected, two disabled, two boarded. Everybody in this has leverage. Nobody has a finishing move. That's how you get a strike order and a standdown in the same paragraph. Talks are supposed to begin today. Watch what they do, not what they say at a fancy podium. -Michael Oliphant II See y'all Friday I'm touching grass 🫡

EXCLUSIVE: 2nd Bail Hearing for Lethbridge Man Accused of Child Sex Trafficking Adjourned to Jan. 20 Accused of raping, drugging, and trafficking children, Skye Atoa was released on bail earlier and re-arrested less than an hour later for breaching his bail conditions. Today, Atoa appeared before a different judge, and the hearing on whether he will be granted bail again following the alleged breach has been rescheduled for January 20, 2026. The earlier bail decision drew significant public outrage across Alberta and beyond due to the gravity of the charges Atoa faces. These include human trafficking of a person under 18, sexual assault of a child under 16, sexual interference, obtaining sexual services of a child for consideration, indecent exposure to a child under 16, sexual counsel of a child, and three counts of unlawful confinement. Additional charges relate to an alleged sexual assault of a vulnerable 24-year-old woman in October 2025. Lethbridge Police allege that one girl was forcibly confined in an apartment for three days, repeatedly sexually assaulted by Atoa and others while being forced to consume drugs. Police further allege that two additional girls were confined for several hours, during which Atoa exposed himself to them. I have travelled to Lethbridge to attend the hearing in person as an accredited journalist and have filed requests for all available court documents related to this matter, particularly to confirm the name of the provincial judge who granted him bail earlier. Stay tuned for further updates Media Bezirgan, and please consider contributing to help cover the costs associated with obtaining court records.

BREAKING NEWS: Circle has announced that we are moving our Global HQ to New York City, building out a flagship space on one of the top floors of 1 World Trade Center, an historically important landmark in standing for American global economic leadership. Details below the video. I’m thrilled to celebrate this milestone with an event including leading financial industry firms, crypto industry leaders and policymakers. We are also sharing this announcement video that captures the moment and inspiration. Why is this important for Crypto, Circle, New York, America and the US Dollar? Since our founding, we have envisioned building a new internet financial system on the foundations of crypto – open networks, open source software, open protocols, decentralized and distributed infrastructure – and building on and expanding the capabilities of the largest and most important currencies in the world, starting with the US dollar. 11 years into our founding, that vision is coming alive in a tremendous and exciting way, with USDC now powering trillions of dollars of onchain transactions, with thousands of developers and applications building on this innovation, and with increasing legal clarity that digital dollars like USDC are new forms of legal electronic money that can be used widely around the world. As this technology explodes into the mainstream, and as Circle becomes a more and more important company and infrastructure for this new internet financial system, it became clear that we needed to plant our flag, both literally and figuratively, in the heart of Wall Street, in the most important economic center of the world, and in the great country of the United States of America. Many complain that the United States is not the right jurisdiction to build a company in our industry, and that the current government here remains hostile to this industry. I couldn’t disagree more. My view is that we are at a turning point, and that the US is about to become THE decisive leader in building and supporting this technology and financial revolution. We are an American Technology champion, and we want to demonstrate that the highest quality, the best run, the safest and the most powerful technology for the new internet financial system calls not just the US, but New York City, it’s home. Today, New York City is home to an enormous number of crypto firms that are leading and innovating in nearly every area of this industry. New York may have the most talent-density in crypto of any city in the world. It’s truly astounding, and we feel so privileged to join this thriving community of companies with a flagship headquarters in New York. After having originally founded the company in Boston, like many technology-driven companies, we have scaled out largely as a remote-first operation. Today, we span 36 US states and 14 countries, with a presence in many of the world’s leading cities including New York, SF Bay Area, Boston, London, Dublin, Paris, Singapore, Berlin, São Paulo, Taipei and more. And we are growing all around the world. But through this, New York has become a crucial nexus of talent, connectivity and a core location for where we convene. 1 World Trade Center is an awe-inspiring building. Its history is known to nearly everyone; this iconic tower, the tallest in the Western hemisphere, stands for freedom, strength, and a projection of America’s central role in the global economic system. Freedom Tower stands above the great pillars of the global economic system – Wall St., the New York Stock Exchange, the New York Federal Reserve, and more. Sitting on a top floor of the tower, Circle’s new flagship HQ is being built not as a traditional office, but rather as a powerful convening space, where we bring together all of our stakeholders to collaborate together, discover, and build the new internet financial system. It’s going to be an amazing and inspiring space that helps bring to life everything that we do at Circle. Today, we are celebrating this new HQ, joined in person in New York by industry, political and key partners who have been central to Circle’s growth and success. Join us virtually in this next phase of our journey. We are investing in New York. We are investing in America. We believe strongly that the infrastructure we are collectively building – this new internet financial system – will be the foundation for the next hundred years of global economic activity and coordination. 2024 has been a turning point year in crypto, a year when stablecoins started to truly breakout in scale, importance and usage. 2025 will be the year when this goes mainstream. As we open our new HQ to the world in early 2025, we will be thrilled to host and convene and see many of you there for this next phase of our collective journey in building a more open, inclusive, safer and efficient global economic system.

Call on all Global Pioneers to join the Vow Praying Ceremony on April 13th GMT 5: 30-6:00 am, USA EST 1:30 am- 2:00 am online at Voov Meeting, using the above room number. If you're unable to participate, you're welcome to take some time to meditate and pray for the success of the Pi Network on Pi2Day, 2024 - with a GCV of $314,159.🙏🙏🙏 There is a special type of energy that is created when people come together to pray at the same time. Studies have shown that good intentions have a massive impact on the world around us. For example, Lake Biwa in Japan had been severely polluted for over 20 years, but after 350 people prayed for it one morning, the lake became clear and clean after just a week. This is why I'm calling on all Pi Network Pioneers to join the vow praying ceremony. If you're unable to attend, I suggest you pray and meditate at home. During the ceremony, I will read the vow and pray for the success of the Pi Network in both English and Chinese.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ Yesterday, I listened to two versions of Pi Network songs from Burundi, and they were incredibly touching. I could feel their deep appreciation for the Pi Network. I believe that most of our Pioneers hold a grateful heart towards the Pi Network. I'm proud that our Pioneers are full of love and compassion, and this is why I believe that the Pi Network will succeed. To show our sincerity, I will fast and bathe for three days. In ancient China, we would keep our spirit and body clean before important ceremonies so that we can gain higher universal power and energy. You're welcome to do the same. I express my gratitude to the CEO of China Ni Diao Group, Ms. Jia Yu Chen, and all the top management of Ni Diao Group, as well as Pi Network GCV Community China Ambassador, Mr. Daniel, and the entire Conference Organization Committee, for their support and efforts. The forthcoming Ni Diao Group Global GCV International Commodity Trade Demonstration and Entertainment Exchange Seminar, to be held in Anshun City, Guizhou Province, the hometown of Pi Network Founder Dr. Fan. Ni Diao is expected to become Pi Network's strongest ecosystem after OM, and possibly even before it. This seminar will serve as the cradle of international trade, where Pi will be used as payment. All Ni Diao Group members will participate in the GCV Pi2Day OM petition, representing the global ecosystem. I deeply appreciate Ms. Chen's support of GCV $314,159 as an ecosystem, and for her remarkable efforts and dedication to cross-border barter. 🙏🙏🙏 The upcoming seminar is poised to be a significant event, with an estimated attendance of over 1000, including Ni Diao Group along with other notable Chinese GCV merchants and pioneers. The seminar will feature speeches by global importers and exporters, providing an excellent opportunity to explore global barter prospects. As this is an offline seminar, attendees can look forward to additional performances and tours. It is recommended to review the conference schedule to select the most suitable time to attend the speech time for online pioneers. I hope that the conference achieves a successful outcome. Best wishes for the event. I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon on the Voov Meeting.🌹🌹🌹 P.S. Sorry for not replying to many Pioneers DM messages. Due to my busy schedule and high volume of DMs, I cannot respond to all of them. Please follow my updates on Twitter or the group for more information. Thanks for understanding.

Another exceptionally masterful explanation by former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin of what's at stake with what Israel is currently doing. He strongly criticizes the lack of vision among Western leaders: "They do not have any strategic vision, and in particular, they still have not understood that the new world order would be based on principles [...] European diplomacy and American diplomacy have checked out. They are absent!" He says this is because "they are unable to extract themselves from their geopolitical situation as Westerners to create a path towards the rest of the world, especially towards the global south, towards the great powers today that are rising - those of the BRICS and others." He argues that Israel's current path is self-defeating as the use of force, especially when not sanctioned by international law, can only leads to more violence and instability: "I'm afraid that Israel is condemned to lead war after war, each time with more use of force [...] They can maintain security on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, but on Thursday and Friday insecurity will be reborn. Insecurity will be permanent. And that's why the Israelis invented this saying which summarizes everything: they have to 'mow the lawn'. Yes, because violence grows back, and it always grows back more vigorous and always stronger. [...] The only way out would be the creation of a Palestinian state, more justice." He draws a parallel between the current global situation and the lead-up to World War II, reminding us: "Let's not forget that the League of Nations began to die in earnest in 1935 when Italy invaded Ethiopia. There was this great speech of the Negus, the Emperor Haile Selassie, who addressed the League of Nations to request its assistance. And then after, there was the Spanish war and many other dramas and crises that led to World War II." He believes the only solution to all this is the embracing of a new world order with, as "a starting point", respect for international law which can only come with respect for others - in particular the nations of the global South - and the repair of the "injustice" and the "wound" that is the denial of a state to Palestinians. On this he says that Macron missed a unique opportunity at the UN a few days ago, instead of giving a speech reminiscent of "the Queen of England speaking at the UN", he should have "announced that France recognizes a Palestinian state": "There was no moment that could have been more useful than today, in a moment when all this region hesitates between a situation of localized war and a total regional war. It was the time to affirm a political vision.... Because what is at stake is the absence of the western world in this demand for justice. It is the absence of voice from the West. Neither Biden nor President Macron nor Olaf Scholz nor does anyone in Europe take the lead. We forget these misfortunes of the world, and well, unfortunately, these misfortunes of the world will take revenge, and we are in this matter, believe it, all concerned. All the debts will be paid. It's unfortunately history, it's the great history that we all ought to know and never forget."

Pete Hegseth Blasts Reports That the United States Did Not Plan on Iran Closing the Strait of Hormuz | Dmitri Bolt, Townhall Secretary of War Pete Hegseth blasted claims that the United States failed to anticipate disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz following the launch of Operation Epic Fury, after reporters questioned why American ships were not escorting tankers through the waterway. The criticism stems from a CNN report that claimed senior Trump administration officials had not planned for the possibility of Iran attempting to close the strait. This story is 100% FAKE NEWS. CNN decided to run this garbage based on three anonymous “sources familiar with discussions.” This is despite the fact that myself, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of State, and multiple lawmakers (who were actually present for the recent classified briefing) have directly disputed this false reporting. THE TRUTH: The Pentagon has been planning for Iran’s desperate and reckless closure of the Strait of Hormuz for DECADES, and it has been part of the Trump Administration’s planning well before Operation Epic Fury was ever launched. The idea that Chairman Cain and Secretary Hegseth weren’t prepared for this possibility is PREPOSTEROUS. The President was fully briefed on it, and a goal of the Operation itself, to annihilate the terrorist Iranian regime’s navy, missiles, drone production infrastructure, and other threat capabilities is quite literally intended to deprive them of their ability to close the Strait. President Trump will not allow rogue Iranian terrorists to stop the freedom of navigation and the free flow of energy. Wiping out these terrorists who indiscriminately target civilians and attempt to hold the global economy hostage is part of the ongoing noble U.S. mission. The Fake News is working overtime to discredit President Trump, his Administration, and our U.S. Military, all of whom are working 24/7 to eliminate the threat of the Iranian regime. It’s a complete disgrace to witness this from the media, and we will keep fighting back against it. — Karoline Leavitt (Karoline Leavitt) March 13, 2026 "We aren't escorting ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Why? How did you not plan for this?" a reporter asked Hegseth during a press conference on Friday. "We planned for it, we recognize it, because ultimately we want to do it sequentially in a way that makes the most sense for what we want to achieve, and ensure that we're sending the right signals to the world when we do so," Hegseth replied. "So when Chris Wright speaks or we speak, it's based on a full assessment of what we're up against, what we want to say to the world, how we want them to see and understand the conflict." It's like this whole idea of the war widening. That's what the press wants to make it look like, like it's widening and chaos is ensuing. No, we're actually closing in on grabbing hold of and controlling what objectives we want to achieve and how we want to achieve them. It's called shaping operations and setting the conditions. "The Strait of Hormuz is something we've paid attention to from the beginning, and the American people can rest assured we will ensure that our interests are advanced, no doubt," he added. Senator Tom Cotton also pushed back on the claims, writing in a statement: "As Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, let me make clear: whoever leaked this lied. CNN should do some fact-checking. The U.S. has planned for Iran to try to close the strait for decades." As Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, let me make clear: whoever leaked this lied. CNN should do some fact-checking. The U.S. has planned for Iran to try to close the strait for decades. — Tom Cotton (Tom Cotton) March 13, 2026 CNN then issued a clarification for its reporting, although the White House remained displeased.

AfDB PRESIDENCY: ZAMBIA'S DR. SAMUEL MAIMBO OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES CANDIDACY Dr. Samuel Maimbo has been endorsed by both the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). LUSAKA, Zambia, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Development finance expert Dr. Samuel Maimbo today announced his candidacy for President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), presenting a transformative vision for Africa's economic future. "Africa stands at a critical juncture," Dr. Maimbo declared. "We need to get one billion people to work as quickly as possible by strategically supporting the industries that will improve livelihoods and ignite prosperity on our continent. The AfDB needs bold, results-driven leadership that is unafraid of making the hard decisions required to get the job done." With a 30-year career characterized by delivering real-world impact – record-breaking fundraising, translating bold ideas into practical implementation plans, and enhancing institutional efficiency – Dr. Maimbo represents an exciting way forward for the AfDB. His presidential platform focuses on achieving middle-income status for Africa through an AfDB which is laser focused on pace, scale and effectiveness of delivery. "Africa needs significantly higher rates of growth to successfully navigate today's development challenges and capture tomorrow's opportunities," said Dr. Maimbo. "I'm ready on day one to support governments in reaching their goals. It's time to stop talking about Africa's potential and start realizing it." Dr. Maimbo's core priorities include: Trade and Regional Integration: Currently at just 3% of global trade, Africa has immense growth potential through the AfCFTA's unified market of 1.4 billion people. Financial Resources: Strengthening markets, boosting savings, and attracting diverse investments can close Africa's financing gap. Agricultural Transformation: With 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land, Africa can become a global agricultural powerhouse. Infrastructure Development: Modernizing infrastructure is crucial for competitiveness and growth. Energy Access: Accelerating energy access while promoting sustainability will power Africa's long-term economic advancement. Climate Action: Despite contributing <4% to global emissions, Africa faces disproportionate climate impacts. Scaling up investments in resilience and embracing new technologies will safeguard Africa.

AfDB PRESIDENCY: ZAMBIA'S DR. SAMUEL MAIMBO OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES CANDIDACY Dr. Samuel Maimbo has been endorsed by both the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). LUSAKA, Zambia, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Development finance expert Dr. Samuel Maimbo today announced his candidacy for President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), presenting a transformative vision for Africa's economic future. "Africa stands at a critical juncture," Dr. Maimbo declared. "We need to get one billion people to work as quickly as possible by strategically supporting the industries that will improve livelihoods and ignite prosperity on our continent. The AfDB needs bold, results-driven leadership that is unafraid of making the hard decisions required to get the job done." With a 30-year career characterized by delivering real-world impact – record-breaking fundraising, translating bold ideas into practical implementation plans, and enhancing institutional efficiency – Dr. Maimbo represents an exciting way forward for the AfDB. His presidential platform focuses on achieving middle-income status for Africa through an AfDB which is laser focused on pace, scale and effectiveness of delivery. "Africa needs significantly higher rates of growth to successfully navigate today's development challenges and capture tomorrow's opportunities," said Dr. Maimbo. "I'm ready on day one to support governments in reaching their goals. It's time to stop talking about Africa's potential and start realizing it." Dr. Maimbo's core priorities include: Trade and Regional Integration: Currently at just 3% of global trade, Africa has immense growth potential through the AfCFTA's unified market of 1.4 billion people. Financial Resources: Strengthening markets, boosting savings, and attracting diverse investments can close Africa's financing gap. Agricultural Transformation: With 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land, Africa can become a global agricultural powerhouse. Infrastructure Development: Modernizing infrastructure is crucial for competitiveness and growth. Energy Access: Accelerating energy access while promoting sustainability will power Africa's long-term economic advancement. Climate Action: Despite contributing <4% to global emissions, Africa faces disproportionate climate impacts. Scaling up investments in resilience and embracing new technologies will safeguard Africa. Creative Industries: A powerful driver of youth employment and cultural exports, Africa's creative industries can amplify Africa's global impact. Inclusivity: Young people, women, and underserved communities across Africa must help design effective strategies.
