Kenne Mwikya talks about Israel's ties with "conservative and anti-freedom elements" of Kenya.
People's solidarity lies with the Palestinian people, as both Africans and Palestinians have been under some form colonial oppression through history.
.@Nawajaa : Divestment and boycott campaigns are working. We hope sanctions against Israel will start from Africa, which can then have a rolling effect.
We know the BDS movement is working because Israel is trying to delegitimize and sabotage it but is failing at it.
.@Shokispeare "The GSR called for a resolution to recognize Israel's regime as apartheid and target sanctions including a military embargo
..it is our obligation to guarantee that our governments meet these demands across the African continent"
"We are building the network across the Global South to build coordinated, synchronized & effective action
We want to have all 54 African countries represented at a rally like this next year!" .@Shokispeare
Rev. Kolade "The Palestine situation has called our Christianity into question.
From Kairos Nigeria we are questioning pilgrimage that does not respect human rights, the pilgrimage that is one sided and supports Israeli occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people."
Maureen Kasuku, Kenya "We are bringing feminists across the continent on board with the BDS campaigning.
I hope that the Global South campaign and all African countries can form a formidable BDS movement"

A new UN published report, “Gaza Genocide: a collective crime,” exposes the complicity of states in enabling Israel’s livestreamed genocide against Palestinians.
Here are 4 key takeaways from the report and 4 key ways you can escalate BDS now➡️ loom.ly/a8XrDPI
The groundbreaking report, authored by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, affirms Israel’s genocide is:
- "A collective crime" made possible by the complicity of states that have "enabled longstanding systemic violations of international law by Israel.”
- Facilitated through "direct support, material aid, diplomatic protection and, in some cases, active participation.”
1. From complicity to partnership
When some states’ complicity becomes “direct, indispensable and constitutive,” to the extent that Israel’s crimes “would not have occurred in whole or in part” without it, these states may have crossed the threshold from complicity to direct participation in those crimes.
1) Our rights are inherent, inviolable, and non-negotiable. 2) The Israeli-US plan is coercive, colonial, and patently illegal. 3) International BDS pressure is working and the era of lawful sanctions has begun. 4) What Palestinians want from the global solidarity movement. 5) Urgent solidarity actions now to disrupt complicity: Peacefully #DisruptComplicity by ⬇️
Even if a ceasefire takes hold, the genocide, the famine, the repercussions of the annihilation of Gaza will not end. Israel and the US must be compelled to enact it, and they and other culprits must be held accountable for the genocide.
Together, we can and must disrupt all complicity in Israel’s “final solution” for the Indigenous people of Palestine. Together we can dismantle Israeli apartheid just as South African apartheid was dismantled. Anything less would be a failure of humanity.
At the end of August 2025, the Norwegian Sovereign Fund, the largest in the world, announced it divested from 5 Israeli banks and from Caterpillar, where the fund’s major individual share was almost $2 billion (US).
The fund is not off the hook, though, as is still invested in several complicit Israeli companies and remains a major shareholder of corporations, like Microsoft, RTX and Chevron, that are deeply implicated in Israel’s genocide, apartheid, and illegal military occupation.
Israel attacks the Global Sumud Flotilla, continues to starve Palestinians in Gaza.
Escalate peaceful disruptive action now.
#DisruptComplicity
Israel has begun its violent attack on peaceful activists from tens of states on the Sumud Flotilla trying to deliver aid to 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza surviving and resisting Israel’s genocide.
#DisruptComplicity Now! The BDS movement calls for escalating peaceful actions against complicit states, corporations and institutions. Let’s end genocidal Israel’s total impunity.
Lawful targeted sanctions are the most effective tool to stop Israel's genocide and undermine its regime of apartheid.
As apartheid Israel admits its growing isolation, the time is now to expel it from the UN and all international fora of sports, culture, and more, as apartheid South Africa was.
People power stops Italy’s energy giant and genocide-profiteer Eni from exporting oil to Israel!
Yesterday morning, the “No Harbour for Genocide” campaign uncovered that Italian fuel, likely jet fuel, was to be loaded on the vessel Seasalvia (IMO: 9629550) at the port of Taranto, Italy, at 21:30 the same day, in order to be shipped to Israel.
Hours later, dockworkers, trade unions USB and COBAS, as well as Palestine solidarity activists in Taranto were at the port to block it.
This continues the historic mobilization across Italy, which in a powerful strike for Palestine on Monday under the slogan #BlocchiamoTutto (Shut it Down) have brought public transport, train stations, ports and highways to a standstill.
Already by 6pm, Eni had sent an official communication that the Seasalvia would not be entering the port.
The Seasalvia is still in the gulf of Taranto. The alert continues.
As 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza endure and resist Israel’s forced starvation in the midst of its ongoing genocide, a ship flying the flag of Portugal and carrying humanitarian aid was reportedly bombed by military drones in Tunisian waters. Thankfully everyone on board has been confirmed safe. Logically, all fingers point to Israel, which is today among the world’s most dangerous rogue states.
The Palestinian-led BDS movement:
- Calls for escalating BDS pressure to isolate apartheid Israel, imposing targeted sanctions on it.
- Denounces complicit governments that have enabled Israel’s genocide.
- Calls for pressure on Tunisian authorities to investigate and seek proper accountability for this attack.
- Calls for pressure on the flag state Portugal, and the European Union, to investigate and confront this attack.
