Don’t Believe the Hype: Revolutionary Eritrea Sustains Sovereignty Over Its Red Sea Coast . . . Talking heads with little knowledge of #Eritrea leaped to conclude that the US bought its Red Sea Coast by lifting sanctions in mid-September. blackagendareport.com/dont-b…

When I was in Ethiopia in 2022, USAID was everywhere, especially in Afar. They showed up to vaccinate for measles in an IDP camp where a sweeping infection was feared. USAID staff is now greatly reduced due to Trump cuts, but I'd like to think the Ethiopian healthy ministry is prepared to meet such demand. I agree with critics who say USAID has not been a positive force in Africa overall, especially that it's been used to advance US interests by funding media propaganda. I talked to some Ethiopians employed by USAID and they were very hesitant to speak, clearly fearful of risking their jobs.

I asked Grok what US interests are in the new Ethiopian civil war are and it said that they're "mainly negative and regional," that the US has no stake in any faction winning but wants to see the conflict remain within Ethiopia's borders, not expand into Sudan and the already troubled Red Sea. Those do seem to be "our" expressed interests. I say "our" because I don't identify with the hegemonic interests of my government and the elites controlling it. x.com/i/grok/share/c2hhcmQtN…

Ibrahim Traoré is asking the question Africa should have asked long ago: Who creates the rules of the international order, who enforces them, and against whom? Iraq was invaded on false claims. Libya was destroyed under the language of “protecting civilians.” Yet African leaders have repeatedly found themselves in the dock while the architects of Western wars rarely do. This is the deeper problem with the so called rules based international order: power writes the rules, power interprets the rules, and too often power decides who will be punished by them. Africa needs justice. But justice cannot be another institution of domination.

Claims that Mekelle has been captured remain unverified. Reuters and Al Jazeera (Oct 2) report pro-government TPF forces near the city after taking Milazat ~20 km SE, with shops and banks closed. Martin Plaut stated ENDF has not entered. Social media posts claiming airport control and city clearing lack independent confirmation from major outlets.

Following the US, Australia has now also closed its embassies and consulates for services to its own citizens in Brazil, also citing vague "security concerns." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Brazil's presidential election is on Sunday. Last night, US @StateDept announced that, effective immediately, it was closing all embassies and consulates in Brazil due to unspecified "security concerns." Quite odd: Lula's govt and campaign has been warning of US intervention.

HRF condemns the arbitrary censorship imposed by Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame’s regime on the song #RekaMbeho (“Let Me Live”), expressing popular backlash of young Rwandans toward a regime crackdown on purported public indecency.

It’s hard to imagine that the US didn’t see the new Ethiopian war coming and let the sanctions lapse anyway.

Paul Kagame cherche à faire emprisonner Victoire Ingabire à perpétuité. C'est dans ce genre de moments que j'éprouve une profonde colère contre celles qui se revendiquent féministes africaines. Car s'il est un silence qui me sidère concernant Victoire Ingabire, c'est bien le leur. Une femme africaine, opposante politique, confrontée à un pouvoir autoritaire et menacée de passer le reste de sa vie en prison. Que faut-il de plus pour que sa situation mérite leur voix ? Si je parle spécifiquement d'elles, c'est parce que j'ai compris depuis longtemps qu'il n'y avait rien à attendre des gouvernements africains, et encore moins de cette fameuse communauté internationale, lorsqu'il s'agit de véritables questions de droits humains.
