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"

Imposing US sanctions on Israel, once taboo, is finally mainstreaming. Calls for trade sanctions, canceling arms shipments, or conditioning military sales are now rising even among dozens of Congress members & former senior White House officials.
For 6 months, the US has been arming, funding and diplomatically shielding Israel’s #GazaGenocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in occupied & besieged Gaza. Polls show that at least 52% of Americans now support stopping all arms shipments to Israel.
Longtime Democratic leader and AIPAC-beneficiary Nancy Pelosi is among the 56+ members of Congress urging Biden to suspend arms transfers to Israel over the “harm to innocent [Palestinian] civilians in Gaza” and the deadly attacks on humanitarian aid workers.
US VP Kamala Harris said: “People in Gaza are starving. The conditions are inhumane & our common humanity compels us to act.” Affirming starving Palestinians in Gaza were met with Israeli gunfire, Harris said Israel must allow more aid in, “no excuses.”
What is the “excuse” then for the US government partnering in Israel’s #GazaGenocide, excluding itself from any “common humanity.”
It arms, funds and defends Israel’s genocide, preventing a ceasefire and any form of accountability to international law.
All 2.3M Palestinians in occupied Gaza are hungry & over half a million are “starving,” according to UN experts. By defunding UNRWA, the colonial West led by the US is directly starving Palestinians, according to @LemkinInstitute for Genocide Prevention.
For the first time in its history, Israel’s credit rating has been downgraded by Moody’s. Its rating outlook was also changed to “negative,” reflecting its growing debt, budget deficit, and structural economic woes. archive.fo/DXEXX
This is a major blow to Israel's economy as it continues its genocidal war on the 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip. More than ever, Israel is looking like a #ShutDownNation.
Moody’s stated on Friday that Israel’s war on Gaza and its aftermath will “materially raise political risk for Israel as well as weaken its executive and legislative institutions and its fiscal strength, for the foreseeable future.”
Following @IntlCrimCourt’s years long failure to prosecute Israeli war criminals and @KarimKhanQC’s recent op-ed further exposing his utter hypocrisy in favor of apartheid Israel & its Western patrons, we call on ICC state parties to push for firing him.
@IntlCrimCourt @KarimKhanQC From his Brimingham jail, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Justice too long delayed is justice denied.” The ICC has since 2014 failed to act on the many war crimes complaints meticulously researched and presented to it by Palestinian human rights orgs and other parties.
@IntlCrimCourt @KarimKhanQC By failing to issue arrest warrants for Israeli war criminals for #GazaGenocide and even to deter them with warnings, @KarimKhanQC has been complicit in enabling Israel’s unfolding genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip.
REVEALED: “Everything is intentional” – Israel’s “factory” of mass murder in Gaza.
Since Oct 7, Israel’s relentless bombing in Gaza has murdered over 7,100 Palestinian children and a total of at least 20,000 Palestinians, including those missing under the rubble.
#GazaGenocide
Disturbing revelations from Israeli intelligence and military officers given to Israeli media outlet +972 expose the deadly decision-making system behind the ongoing #GazaGenocide.
Every strike on Gaza is planned, with Israeli intelligence estimating civilian casualties with chilling precision. The intentional targeting of civilian homes and infrastructure aims to maximize harm, destroying the very fabric of life in Gaza.
