"All this reminds me of Nazi times": An 86-year-old French woman recounts her 17 days in American detention centers


Arrested in her nightgown
Marie-Thérèse, an octogenarian from the Nantes region of France, spent 17 days in American detention centers following her arrest by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) on April 1 at her home in Alabama. Back in France for nearly ten days now, she told her story to Ouest-France and The New York Times.


At dawn on April 1, five ICE agents kicked in her door. Without any explanation, despite her attempts to explain her situation, Marie-Thérèse was handcuffed and arrested wearing a nightgown and a dressing gown. She was first placed in a "tiny cell," then transferred to Birmingham jail in Alabama, where migrants and ordinary prisoners are held together.


There, forced to UnCloth in front of everyone, she put on a "dirty, grayish-green jumpsuit" and joined a cell with around fifteen people. "I was terrified," she recalls.


Shackled and transferred 700 km away
Three days later, she learned she was being transferred to a detention center in Basile, Louisiana, more than 700 km away. Before boarding, she and other detainees spent an entire day on a bus on the tarmac, without water or food. "We were chained to each other at the feet," she says.


Her arrival at the Basile facility, a "fortress" in her words, took place in the middle of the night. She joined a wire-mesh cell with around sixty detainees.

Screaming day and night, the "smell of excrement," curtainless showers, 4:45 a.m. wake-up calls, and refusals of medical care: the octogenarian describes conditions she calls appalling.


What got her through those weeks, she says, was her faith and the solidarity of her South American fellow detainees, with whom she prayed and sang. "One had been arrested at the wheel of her car, another in front of her children, outside school," she recounts.

Marie-Thérèse says she wanted to speak out specifically for them. "I want to be the spokesperson for my fellow detainees. I told them: I'm going to talk about you so people know what you're going through," she explains, adding that she wants to "shut these facilities down."


Reported by her stepson?
For Marie-Thérèse, the arrests are above all racist. "Arrested because of their dark skin! That's racism." The color-coded uniform system, the "arbitrary arrests," the "chains on the feet," the "calls in the middle of the night": "all this reminds me of Nazi times," she says.



The octogenarian believes she was reported by her stepson, a former police officer. She blames her late husband's family for making her "live through hell" from the day after his death. Her husband Billy was a former American soldier she met on a NATO base near Saint-Nazaire in the late 1950s. Reconnected in 2010, he died last January. Without a green card, Marie-Thérèse found herself in an irregular situation.


Back in France, but not without plans
Back in the Nantes region, Marie-Thérèse says she no longer wants to live in the United States. "The land of the free no longer exists," she laments. She nonetheless hopes to obtain the "official recognition" of her green card so she can visit her husband's grave. Her story drew reactions all the way to the French government.

Netanyahu 's trial is not over. Wars, invasions, and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and Lebanon did not erase the Israeli prime minister's
domestic misdeeds.

April 26 (UPI) -- Israeli President Isaac Herzog decided to hold off on a pardon for the country's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on charges of corruption, opting instead to attempt to negotiate a plea deal.

Netanyahu has been on trial for six years on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust across three separate cases but denies he has violated any laws, calling the charges a "witch hunt."

Herzog has been under pressure from Netanyahu, his allies and U.S. President Donald Trump to issue the prime minister a pardon, though he has held off as opinions in Israel are relatively split on the trials, The New York Times and The Times of Israel reported.

"President Isaac Herzog sees reaching an agreement between the parties in Prime Minister Netanyahu's cases as a proper and correct solution," Herzog's office said in a statement.

"The president believes that it is right to first, before discussing the pardon request itself, exhaust a process that could lead to the formation of an agreement between the parties, outside the walls of the court," his office said.

Netanyahu became the first active Israeli prime minister to be put on trial in 2020, when he was charged with allegedly accepting cigars and champagne in exchange for political favors.


In the second case, he allegedly boosted circulation of an Israeli newspaper that offered him positive coverage and, in the third case, he allegedly promoted regulatory changes to benefit an telecommunications company in exchange for positive coverage by an online news organization.

Netanyahu in November requested the pardon from Herzog, whose office said at the time that it would consider the request and review it with justice officials because of the "significant implications" a pardon for such charges could have.

A plea agreement would require an admission of guilt, in addition to likely requiring Netanyahu to resign from office, which he has said is unacceptable and part of why he calls the trials an effort to drive him from office.

The trial "stirs divisions and deepens rifts," he said in the request for a pardon, and said that "to repeal the threats [to Israel] and realize the opportunities, national unity is required.

The cowardly terrorist attacks against the people of Mali were coordinated by the French and the Ukrainians.But make no mistake: Pan-Africanists will bow to no one, even if he had once been a former slave master. We are fighting for dignity and self-determination. No stooge will deter us from that noble objective.
May Minister Sadio Camara, whose house was hit in a suicide attack, rest in peace.
The battle continues until victory is accomplished.

Reports indicate that Mali’s Defence Minister, General Sadio Camara, has been k!illed during coordinated attacks on military sites across the country.
This incident comes months after Russian intelligence reportedly revealed that France was planning to el!iminate leaders in African countries that do not align with French policies specifically naming Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Madagascar as targets.
This comes at a time when these countries have expelled French forces, accusing France of pursuing neocolonial agendas and advancing imperial interests within their territories.
Pan-Africanists across the continent have strongly condemned the attack on Mali. They warn that as long as Mali continues to resist Western imperialism and neocolonial interests particularly those of France such attacks will persist. According to them, France is seeking every means possible to reinstall a puppet regime in Mali that would protect its neocolonial and imperialist interests.
Africans across the continent have expressed solidarity with Mali, urging the revolutionary government led by General Assimi Goïta to remain steadfast in resisting imperialism and neocolonialism. They praise Mali for championing the freedom and true independence of Africa

We all should keep in mind that French President Macron 's presidential term will come to an end in a year
(April 2027). Reason why the Dark Web that supports terrorist groups in Africa will be extremely active from now on. The goal
is to overthrow the Pan-Africanist governments of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger , before Macron leaves power. The French do NOT want to
lose control of their former colonies and the colonial clique within the French establishment is not sure if it will be able
to control peoples like leftist Melanchon, if the latter wins in 2027.

Are we not tired of these repeated attacks and killing African immigrants are the victims of
in South Africa.
What are those African immigrants doing in South Africa they cannot do elsewhere in all
the remaining 53 African countries, come on.
Just Everybody gets out and let the South Africans build a wall all around their country.

World cup FIFA .
Nigeria: 6 times.
Kenya : 0

Nobel prize : one
Kenya : 0

The world forgot and fake to forget?
April 20, is the German Fuhrer's Birthday.
Hitler did bad things but also foresaw all this chaos in Middle East and the world coming , more than a century ago.

One of the worst mistakes the western world made was to have allowed Zionism, a religious sect to take power in a state and have nuclear bombs.

Some of the reasons why many people are saying Israel is the godfather of ISIS are coming out.

The Israelis are now acting in Lebanon like the Visigoths in Rome.

Good way to go .
Imagine how many billions those countries made out of rejected visa applications over the past 50 years.
Enough is enough, they need to pay back our money.

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema has called for the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) to refund African nations for non-refunded visa application fees following widespread rejections, labeling the practice as exploitative.
In a statement, Hichilema highlighted that African countries collectively lost over $70 million in 2024 due to rejected visa applications to Europe, with an additional £44 million ($59 million) lost to UK visa fees.

What he is hiding is :
Those wars he is talking about were won thanks to the military involvement of
the United states and many European countries.
The Arab broke the backbone of the Israeli army on several times, but for
countries like UK, the United States, Canada, France and many other European countties
Israel would not exist today.

Bibi is high on that herb, 'told you !

Is this an issue ?
What impact does it have on a Nigerian cab driver fir his daily income.

As Professor Z, MA said "it is sometimes too dangerous to be a genius ".

We, as Pan-Africanists, unequivocally demand the immediate and unconditional release of Brother Kemi Seba.

Kemi Seba is a committed and uncompromising freedom fighter who has dedicated his life to dismantling the entrenched system of French neo-colonial domination across Africa. His struggle is not symbolic, it is a direct challenge to structures that continue to suffocate African sovereignty and dignity.

It is therefore unacceptable and deeply hypocritical for the South African government to posture as a defender of dignity and justice on the global stage (particularly in its stance on Palestine) while failing, and indeed refusing, to uphold those same principles for Africans on the continent. This glaring double standard is intolerable. One cannot claim moral authority abroad while trampling it at home.

Should the South African political elite continue to ignore this call, Pan-Africanists will not remain passive. We will actively push for South Africa’s suspension from the African Union and demand the expulsion of its ambassadors from African nations. A state that repeatedly demonstrates contempt for African unity and sacred solidarity cannot expect continued legitimacy within continental institutions.

Silence in the face of France’s repression of sovereignist political activists in its former colonies is complicity. This pattern of indifference must end. The continued detention of Kemi Seba is an injustice that demands immediate correction. He must be released, now.

President Ramaphosa would do well to remember history. The same French state that today exerts influence over puppet regimes in Africa
( such as the puppet regime of Benin ) was directly complicit in supporting apartheid South Africa, including collaboration with Israel in providing nuclear technology to a regime built on white supremacist violence against African people. That legacy cannot be ignored when assessing present-day alignments and actions.

For the record: Kemi Seba has acted with full consistency in his convictions. Though born in France to immigrant parents, he voluntarily renounced his French citizenship, stating clearly: “I was given French citizenship by birth; I did not apply for it. I am giving it up.” This was not symbolic, it was a deliberate rejection of the very system he opposes.

He has continued his fight against the CFA franc, a currency imposed on former French colonies that remains under the control of the French Treasury. Established under General de Gaulle, this monetary system has long functioned as a mechanism of economic subjugation, stifling genuine development and sovereignty across African nations.

As Kemi Seba has forcefully stated:

“The CFA franc is a colonial currency that keeps Africa in economic slavery.”
“As long as we use the CFA franc, we are not independent.”
“You cannot develop with a currency that you do not control.”

These are not mere slogans, they are indictments of an ongoing system of domination . And they are precisely why his voice must not be silenced.

Police in South Africa have arrested pan-African activist, Kemi Seba, who is wanted in Benin for “inciting rebellion” after he supported a foiled coup in December.

Seba, whose real name is Stellio Gilles Robert Capo Chichi, is known for his tirades against France and African governments allied with Paris.

South Africa’s police said the French-born Beninese politician and his 18-year-old son were apprehended at a Pretoria shopping mall on Monday.

Also arrested was a man who had allegedly been paid to help them illegally enter neighbouring Zimbabwe from where they intended travelling on to Europe.

All three have appeared briefly in court, facing charges of conspiracy to commit a crime and contravention of South Africa’s Immigration Act.

Police said preliminary investigations showed that Seba was “alleged to be a wanted fugitive in France and Benin for criminal activities relating to crimes against the state".

Their case was postponed until 20 April and they were remanded in custody as extradition processes get underway.

Benin issued an international warrant for Seba’s arrest on 12 December after he supported a foiled coup in which mutinous soldiers claimed to have overthrown President Patrice Talon.

The activist posted a video shortly afterwards declaring it “the day of liberation” for Benin.

Their attempted coup was thwarted during the day by the Beninese army with support from Nigeria and France.

Seba – who heads the NGO Pan-Africanist Emergency and has 1.5 million followers on social media - was stripped of his French nationality in 2024.

He openly supports the military juntas that came to power through coups in the Sahel region.

First Federal Pan-African Government: 3-Year Term
Let the Top Ten Take the Leading Roles

Nigerian politicians are accustomed to managing the needs of a very large population. With nearly a quarter of a billion people, Nigeria is ideally suited to take the lead. The first President of a Pan-African government should therefore be a Nigerian.

The Vice President or Prime Minister should be an Ethiopian. With almost 140 million people, Ethiopia has extensive experience in addressing the complex and often conflicting needs of a massive population.

The Department of Domestic Affairs should be entrusted to Egypt (120 million people).

Tanzania, renowned for its disciplined and loyal army, would be well placed to lead the Department of War and Intelligence.

South Africa, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Sudan, Uganda, and Algeria are all highly qualified to play key leading roles in critical areas such as Foreign Affairs, Economics and Finance, Education, Urban Planning, Justice, Homeland Security, Health, Energy, Mining, and Industry.

You are a racist , that is why !

If you never realized what is written in white on red below, then hey, re-think domestic and
international politics again.

There was a man who built his house in two countries

This is the concrete pillar separating Ghana 🇬🇭 and Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 in the border town of Badukrom.
These two guys are shaking hands; one is in Ivory Coast, and the other is in Ghana.
The house you see on the other side is built by a man who wants to live in both countries.
There are also houses on the Ghana side with toilets on the Ivory Coast side of the border.
The chicken you see is from Ghana, on its way to visit its boyfriend in Ivory Coast.

Many of those who fought for the US. in Afghanistan are being arrested by ICE in America after being allowed in.

Freedom and Democracy = Epstein club.

koxyz:
We are not yet ripe for these kind of discussions, we are still being plague by some fundamentals basic needs of existence.

Nope !
We Africans tend to be less proactive in certain areas, that’s true !
However, we also face far less pressure and strain than most people in the industrialized world.
Despite their massive homeless populations, healthcare crises, high cost of living, and elevated crime rates in overpopulated cities, Europeans and Americans are constantly planning and preparing for future wars and conflicts. In contrast, our populations still have access to vast farmlands. When life in the cities becomes too expensive, many of us can return to our villages ( this is one of our greatest assets).
Most Americans and Europeans do not have that option. They are forced to remain in urban areas, where they must continuously pay high rents, utility bills, and other living expenses.

Are we taking steps to ensure that we could withstand, for at least 30 years, any powerful foreign force that might invade us? Are our ministers of defense convening joint staff meetings to discuss military technologies?
Are our heads of state, prime ministers, and senior military officials holding weekly (or at least monthly) meetings to address urgent issues and develop defense plans such as Plan A, B, or C?
Is ECOWAS (the Economic Community of West African States) even considering these questions?
Let's hope they are not spending their weekends indulging in luxury and distractions ( drinking good wines and eating
great meals with mistresses) instead of focusing on these critical responsibilities.
Hello Abuja !

All of them, US will finish them. But then again, Europe cannot side with a terrorist iran.

Watch the Germans, the boys are hell sharp, and brave. A 150-man German commando can wipe out an
entire 1000-troop enemy bataillon.

Netanyahu is an outdated politician, an old man in his 80s who knows nothing but war. His mind is in the years 1960s or 1970s.
He should retire from politics. WTF.

Who would win if the US. invades Greenland and the who European Union Bloc reacts with full military might.?
