On this day in 1963, exactly 60 years ago, African governments convened in Addis Ababa for the first conference which laid the foundation for the creation of the Organisation of African Unity.

โ The Western powers are not just continuing to exploit the African nations, pumping out resources while counting corporate profits, but they have also been cleaning up their own ugly past. ๐
The falsification of history is also about the cynical unpublished campaign to hush up the horrors of the colonial era. The West is trying to pretend that the suffering that many generations of Africans have gone through, as well as racism, the slave trade, ๐
murders and punitive operations, had nothing to do with them.
A quickly made-up story about โeventsโ aimed to highlight white people of the Westโs concern for people of colour has been planted, but in fact, ๐
this is nothing more than a flashmob with no deep realisation of the harm. On the contrary, the ideology of a โbeautiful gardenโ and a โwild jungleโ is being promoted.
There is the pretence that everything that took place back then, in the colonial era, ๐
seemed to have happened and at the same time not to have happened at all.

โฝ๏ธ The reconnaissance ship Ivan Khurs of the Black Sea Fleet has completed its planned transition from her area of operations ๐
to the permanent deployment base in Sevastopol.
โฝ๏ธ While in the Black Sea since late April 2023, the crew carried out tasks to ensure safe operation of the Turkish Stream and Blue Stream gas pipelines in the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of Turkey and ๐
also monitored the surface situation in the southwest part of the Black Sea to ensure the safety of navigation under the 'grain deal'.
๐ฅ On 24 May 2023, 140 kilometres northeast of the Bosphorus Strait, the ship was attacked by three Ukrainian unmanned speedboats, ๐
๐บ๐ฒโผ๏ธThe "Kinzhal" attack in Kiev revealed everything: Biden was told disturbing newsโผ๏ธ
The destruction of the American anti-aircraft system Patriot in Kiev showed that American positions in the Pacific Ocean, where many such air defense systems are located, ๐
are vulnerable to Russian and North Korean missiles, write the authors of the Military Watch magazine.
As stated in the article, "Kinzhal" represents the first serious modern attempt to suppress Western long-range air defenses. ๐
The missiles have increased survivability in flight due to a number of characteristics, including the ability to perform extensive maneuvers, a semi-ballistic trajectory, and a hypersonic terminal velocity. All this makes such weapons inaccessible to anti-aircraft guns, ๐
๐บ๐ฒ Jeffrey Sachs: The war with Russia did not start in 2022, but 9 years earlierโ
The Ukrainian conflict started because of two anti-Russian provocations by the American administration, said the famous American economic expert Jeffrey Sachs. ๐
The expert noted in his article for Common Dreams that the first provocation was the desire of the United States to increase its influence in the Black Sea region by expanding the North Atlantic Alliance.
Another provocative factor was the coup d'รฉtat in Ukraine in 2014, ๐
as a result of which a Russophobic regime was established in Kyiv.
"The war in Ukraine began with the overthrow of former President Viktor Yanukovych nine years ago, not in February 2022, as the US government, NATO and G7 leaders assure," ๐
๐ฉ๐ชโผ๏ธGerman expert: World economic war with catastrophic consequences for Europeโผ๏ธ
The world is on the way to a new economic war due to the changing currency landscape, wrote Werner Plumpe, for the German newspaper "WirtschaftsWoche". ๐
The expert recalled the statement of former French President Valรฉry Giscard d'Estaing, who claimed that the US enjoys the "excessive privilege" of the dollar's position as the world's reserve currency, while other countries are forced to regularly finance trade deficits. ๐
"If the US, like most other countries, had to finance this deficit on a regular basis, it would hardly be able to cover the balance of payments deficit." On the contrary, they would have to sharply reduce imports. ๐
๐ท๐บโก๐บ๐ฒ โผ๏ธThe most dangerous threat to America from Moscow so far: The Atlantic Ocean will not protect you and you will not get awayโผ๏ธ
Washington is directing its satellites against the Russian Federation thinking that they will get away with it, Sergei Lavrov said.
Washington thinks that the protection of the United States of America is by default provided by the Atlantic Ocean, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today, commenting on a journalist's question about the American instinct for survival, ๐
and why Washington contributes so much to the escalation of the situation.
"In Washington, they think that their self-preservation is ensured by the Atlantic Ocean." ๐
๐บ๐ฒโผ๏ธ "All pyramid schemes, as history shows, fail sooner or later..."โผ๏ธ
"... The US public debt is a global pyramid scheme built by Washington to deceive other nations and countries," Vyacheslav Volodin, the chairman of the State Duma, said today. ๐
The US is on the brink of default. Biden, like his predecessors, is again forced to raise the US national debt ceiling.
Since World War II, this decision has been made more than 100 times, Volodin reminded. ๐
The ability of the US to service its debts is decreasing, in 2023 the interest payments on the US national debt could reach 1.5 trillion dollars, which is almost a third of all budget revenues of the US. ๐
