US EXPANDS MILITARY PRESENCE IN AFRICA
The US Pentagon is in a period of major restructuring, in particular regarding American military bases abroad. While enormous bases in Germany and South Korea are abandoned or detracted, new and more flexible bases are constructed or planned all over the world, in particular in the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe. In Africa, US bases are to focus on Uganda, Djibouti, Senegal and São Tomé and Príncipe, where flexible, small-scale "jumping off points" exist or are to be built.
Bases are to cover all the world's regions where the US government is concerned over potential instability or terrorism, or simply wants to protect key resources such as oil.

NIGERIA: THE MOVEMENT FOR THE EMANCIPATION OF THE NIGER DELTA (MEND) CANNOT BE BOUGHT
Nigeria's main armed group in the Niger Delta has said its disarmament cannot be bought, as a government amnesty for local fighters is to begin. "When we choose to disarm, it will be done freely," the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) said in an e-mail statement late on Tuesday.
The statement was referring to recent news reports which had implied that MEND would accept money in exchange for laying down its arms. MEND added that it would disarm only when the Niger Delta has been emancipated from neglect and injustice.

INTERNATIONALLY BLACK
I hear that there are oil militants in the Niger Delta who are marginally different from rebels in Darfur, and different still from the Islamist insurgents over in Somalia, while in Uganda there is an army claiming to represent the Lord, and that is different still from local defence militia in parts of Central Africa.
So what exactly is the difference between insurgents, militants and rebels?

WHITE COUNTRIES SENDING "DEAD WHITE PEOPLES CLOTHES" TO AFRICA
A whole industry has cropped up around apparel that's been donated to charities located oceans away, imported throughout the African continent and then sold cheaply in African marketplaces. These low prices undercut local retailers and undermine the entire textile and garment business in Africa. The psychological—and, as a result, financial—blows of the used-clothing industry have been crippling. What seems to be carried over, along with the previously worn clothing, is that old-colonial mentality of "ours is better than yours," the often unspoken belief heralding all that is Western as superior, and all that is African as inferior.

DISNEY PUTS OUT ANOTHER RACIALLY CHARGED MOVIE FOR CHILDREN
Princess Tiana is the main heroine of “The Princess and the Frog” and also the first black princess to appear in a Disney film as the main focus of the story. Although Disney’s move in this sense was initially applauded, it is now getting a lot of heat not for the princess but for the male character. Prince Naveen of Maldonia, voiced by a Brazilian actor, is Tiana’s soul-mate and should, by all accounts, also be black – yet fans seem to think that he is actually one of the few white characters in the entire film.

WAKE UP AMERICA: FORCED VACCINATIONS, QUARANTINE CAMPS, HEALTH CARE INTERROGATIONS AND MANDATORY "DECONTAMINATIONS"
The United States of America is devolving into what might be described as "medical fascism" and Massachusetts is leading the way with the passage of a new bill, the "Pandemic Response Bill" 2028, reportedly just passed by the MA state Senate and now awaiting approval in the House. This bill, if adopted, would suspend the Constitutional rights of Massachusetts citizens and forces anyone "suspected" of being infected to submit to interrogations, "decontaminations" and vaccines. It's also sets fines up to $1,000 per day for anyone who refuses to submit to quarantines, vaccinations, decontamination efforts or to follow any other verbal order by virtually any state-licensed law enforcement or medical personnel.

CITIZENS HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK BACK TO THE POLICE
If a citizen asserts his or her constitutional rights, or questions what an officer is doing or speaks in a tone the officer finds unacceptable, this often leads to a charge of disturbing the peace or disorderly conduct.
