The Gradual Evil is happening in Palestine. at is happening in Palestine.If the Jews succeed in exterminating the Palestinians with the help from the U.S. we Africans will be next. Right now Jews and their American supporters are trying to make the world accept t hat it is normal to wipe out a whole population of human beings as long as you portray that population as unfit to live. Let's keep in mind some deranged people do not even want to accept Africans own anything in this world. Our lands, our natural wealth, our beaches, our green tropical forests ., even our lives and our dignity should be at their mercy.
Ouattara achieved power through the barrels of French military guns and a rebellion him , Blaise Compaore' ( the former dicator of Burkina Faso), Nicholas Sarkozy ( the crooked former president of France ) and many other globalists from the international monetary Funds engineered. That rebellion committed a genocide, the genocide of the We' people in Western Cote d'Ivoire. April 11, 2011 Ouattara became a president , since that day he is being conning with the constitution.
Elusive001: Really? But Boko Haram, ISWAP, etc, just like Hamas and of the same aim are already dealing with Africa. Why not call the ones terrorising Africa out first?
Propaganda, because HAMAS should not , and is in fact , not on the same list BOKO HARAM is on. HAMAS is a national patriotic movement created to fight a foreign colonial power. As far as Israel bombing Africa, well , if that happens, then make no mistake , at least 100 million Pan-Africanist popular troops will sweep through valleys and seas to erase that thing off the map once for all.
tctrills: Stop spreading fake news. Who taught you that thousands died in Ivory coast in 2020 due to political violence? Again, I don't support the guy running for the 4th time but it's actually not unconstitutional. He was able to make changes to the ivorian constitution. Lastly, under his rule, the ivorian economy has greatly improved. We can't say the same for the APC bros.
Yes thousands died in 2020 and it did not stop there,. Your IMF /France' / World bank double -digit growth is nothing but a smoke for the suicide rate reached a level than never before. Why don't you talk about it? Did you know how many cities were affected by the killing spree led by Ouattara's hooded militias in 2020 ? In Yamoussoukro ( the political capital city ) and Divo ( a big city in westrern Cote d'Ivoire ) you could count more than 200 dead. Now add eastern part where Ouattara's people played football live on Facebook with the severed head of a some of the many opponents they killed. Folks like you and RFI ( Radio France Internationale ) are the very same who support that the war from 2002 through 2011, cost 3000 lives when we know that in the western parts of the country, more than 35000 people died. In one day Ouattara 's people butchered almost 1000 Christians and secular people, in 2011. The Un troops stood by and did NOTHING ! They even encouraged it.
Democrats worse than Nazis on racism ? It looks like.
What happened at the 1936 Olympics
Hitler's Actions: Hitler initially shook hands with German victors but left the stadium after the first day of competition, an action confirmed by the International Olympic Committee president at the time.
The "Snub": The story of Hitler snubbing Owens, stemming from the dictator's anger at an African-American athlete upstaging his Aryan supremacy agenda, is largely considered a myth.
A Brief Acknowledgment: According to sports reporter Paul Gallico, Hitler did give Owens a friendly wave. Owens himself later confirmed that they exchanged congratulatory waves.
The real snub
Presidential Disregard: Owens stated, "Hitler didn't snub me—it was our president who snubbed me".
Lack of Recognition: President Franklin D. Roosevelt never sent Owens a congratulatory telegram or invited him to the White House, while he welcomed white Olympians. Owens was only allowed to participate in the White House event after receiving his medal. Source : AI Overview
The crooked president of Cote d'Ivoire ( Ivory Coast ) is violating the constitution of his country to run for a 4th presidential term . His 3rd unconstitutional term cost the lives of thousands of people in 2020.
Ouattara’s Dangerous Gambit The Ivorian president is trifling with his country’s long-term political stability. Post by Ebenezer Obadare, Author
In 2019, as speculation grew that he was quietly orchestrating a run for a legally dubious third term of office at the expiration of his tenure the following year, pressure mounted on Côte d’Ivoire’s President Alassane Ouattara to show his hand.
When the president eventually spoke, his remarks did little to put his compatriots and international observers at ease. On the one hand, Mr. Ouattara spoke of his conviction “that there is a need for generational change in Africa,” adding: “Seventy-five percent of Africans are under 35 years of age.
The French president is 40; my eldest son is 52. It is clear to me that the path is towards a transfer to a new generation.” Yet, lest anyone should surmise that he was going to take his own counsel and bow out gracefully, the president quickly added: “I’m not telling you that I am leaving, be careful.” (He would go on to secure a bitterly contested third term after Prime Minister Amadou Gon Coulibaly, widely seen as his preferred successor, died unexpectedly in July 2020.)
Mr. Ouattara, eighty-three this year, is back waffling. Last week, at an official event in Abidjan, the country’s commercial capital, he teased the idea of running for a seemingly improbable fourth presidential term (“I’m in good health and eager to serve my country”) so far as his party, the ruling Rally of Houphouetists for Democracy and Peace (RHDP), was ready to back his candidacy. However, in typical Ouattara-ese, he seemed to hedge his bets when he added: “As of today, I have not yet made a decision.”
Last October, top party officials anointed Mr. Ouattara their “natural candidate” and expressed a “desire to do everything possible” to ensure his victory in next October’s presidential election.
While the opposition will have its say (its principled boycott of the 2020 presidential election may have been one reason the president was able to rack up 94 percent of the vote), it appears that the West African country of 32 million people is set for a rerun of an all too familiar political melodrama in which the incumbent feigns a lack of interest in staying in power but is seemingly pressured by party bigwigs and assorted lackeys to act against his personal interest, terminating in a denouement in which the “father of the nation” reluctantly accepts to carry on for the good of the country.
In the meantime, the political opposition is portrayed as “enemies of state,” and its (the state’s) resources are promptly mobilized against it and anyone who dares cry foul.
To say that President Ouattara’s shillyshallying is the last thing that Côte d’Ivoire needs is an understatement. In the first place, the fact that previous electoral contests have been dogged by violence means that the country has little margin for error and can nary afford a potentially combustible situation in which the opposition is pushed to the wall and feels the need to do everything to stand up to what it legitimately sees as an assault on the country’s constitution.
Three thousand people were needlessly killed and another five hundred thousand displaced after then-President Laurent Gbagbo refused to concede defeat in the November 2010 presidential poll. It is regrettable that Mr. Ouattara, at the time the clear winner that the incumbent was reluctant to hand over to, has learnt very little from the tragic episode.
Furthermore, President Ouattara either appears not to have read the room as far as the ascendant mood across the region is concerned, or he seems to have quickly forgotten what happened in Senegal where former President Macky Sall’s attempt to continue in power for an illegal third term of office spectacularly blew up in his face. Either way, he seems not to mind plunging his country into an avoidable political crisis, the ripples of which will in all probability be felt beyond its borders.
There is no other name for what President Ouattara is doing than reckless, and it is absolutely important that he be stopped in his tracks. The regional political and economic body, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has a role to play here. Having acted admirably in standing up to the martial trinity of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, it needs to stay the course by speaking clearly in condemnation of President Ouattara’s plans, for in essence, what the soldiers have done with guns is the same thing Mr. Ouattara is aiming to accomplish through the ballot. ECOWAS will look foolish and be susceptible to accusations of double standard if it does not take a stand against Mr. Ouattara.
Washington too can weigh in. It seems plausible that President Ouattara is figuring that, with the United States desperate for new alliances across the region, and with the incoming Trump administration expected to be distracted at worst and transactional at best, there is hardly a better time to get away with a political heist of this magnitude. Washington should send a clear message that the United States will not stand with an ally who is willing to sacrifice the well-being of his people and the stability of his country on the altar of political ambition.
Mr. Ouattara says he is “eager to continue serving” his country. Very well. There is no law that says he can only do this as president. The moral and reasonable thing to do is to leave office at the expiration of his current term and let the political process take its course. The high ground beckons. President Ouattara should take it. SOURCE: https://www.cfr.org/blog/ouattaras-dangerous-gambit
No more safety under the US. military presence umbrella. The Saudis are looking for a safe roof before the storm.
Dubai/Islamabad Reuters — Saudi Arabia and nuclear-armed Pakistan signed a formal mutual defense pact on Wednesday, in a move that significantly strengthens a decades-long security partnership amid heightened regional tensions.
The enhanced defense ties come as Gulf Arab states grow increasingly wary about the reliability of the United States as their longstanding security guarantor. Israel’s attack on Qatar last week heightened those concerns.
“This agreement is a culmination of years of discussions. This is not a response to specific countries or specific events but an institutionalization of longstanding and deep cooperation between our two countries,” a senior Saudi official told Reuters when asked about its timing..
Israel’s attempt to kill the political leaders of Hamas with airstrikes on Doha, while they were discussing a ceasefire proposal that Qatar is helping to mediate, infuriated Arab countries.
The pact could shift the strategic calculus in a complex region. Allies of Washington, Gulf monarchies have sought to stabilize ties with both Iran and Israel to resolve longstanding security concerns.
But the Gaza war has upended the region and Gulf state Qatar has been subjected to direct hits twice in a year, once by Iran and once by Israel.
The Saudi deal comes months after Pakistan fought a brief military conflict with rival India in May.
descarado: Nigeria was that big cos of t'errorists. America has nothing like that. The guns are owned by normal individuals like you and I. Thats what made it scary. Do not know why such companies have so much power
LGBTQ +. people were so vigorously empowered by Obama and his wife, they became aggressive and arrogant. Before Obama , no US. President in history has ever used his presidential power to promote and protect to the full extreme the cause of gays people and radical Muslims in America and abroad . Never ever. Now the whole world , West Africa in particular, is paying s huge price.
Population of the United states: 340.1 million ( Sources include: United States Census Bureau, World Bank , year 2024 )
Guns: 393 million civilian-owned firearms in the United States, as reported by the Small Arms Survey in 2018. This number translates to about 120 firearms per 100 people and signifies a larger number of guns than the country's population.
Note Imagine how many guns there are right now , in 2025
Flying under influence ! With drunken pilots, no doubt Africa is in trouble. No peace in the air !

America is not the only divided country. We are more divided in Africa with stu.pid radical Jihadists wanting to forge a Caliphate encompassing countries from West Africa to east Africa and from North Africa to the very south of Africa. Add to that those leaders and followers who are happy to be manipulated by Western Countries
