HOW FRANCE IS HOLDING 15 AFRICAN ECONOMIES HOSTAGE

14 countries in Africa use a currency called the CFA franc.

‘CFA’ once stood for colonies francaise d’Afrique or ‘French colonies of Africa’

Today it stands for "African Financial Community."

The 15th country is Comoros. While it has its own currency called the ‘Comorien franc,’ the currency operates just like the CFA franc in practice.

With each passing day, Donald Trump is growing ever more visibly desperate to re-launch his war of aggression against Iran. Goaded by his impatient Israeli partners (or masters, perhaps), and mocked even by German chancellor Friedrich Merz for his 'humiliation' by Iran, Trump seems to have convinced himself that victory is just around the corner. After all, what further threat could Iran's already-'destroyed' air force, navy, and missile arsenal pose to the forces he has amassed -- menacingly squirreled away in hotels or aircraft carrier groups hiding just outside firing range?

One of the only constraints holding him back is the parlous state of his own arsenal. According to a report by the Washington, D.C. think tank CSIS, the US military used up over half its entire pre-war stock of THAAD, Patriot, and SM-3 interceptors, a third of its global supply of Tomahawk missiles, and possibly its 'entire inventory' of experimental PrSM missiles in just 40 days of war on Iran. Each one cost anywhere from $2 million to $30 million to produce. The vast majority were used either to bomb civilian targets like the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' school in Minab, or to shoot down Iranian Shahed drones that cost around $7000 apiece.

What's more, even with Trump's proposed $500 billion hike to the Pentagon budget, the US military-industrial apparatus will take four years or more to replace what's already been depleted. And this optimistically assumes that they can secure the requisite supplies of rare earth elements, with China controlling 90% of global refining capacity and banning exports for US military end-users. Another round of fighting could very well exhaust the arsenal once and for all, never to return.

A new report by the Centre for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS), a think tank strongly aligned with the US military-industrial complex, reveals the shocking scale at which US forces depleted their stocks of key munitions over the course of their 40-day war on Iran.

CSIS estimates that the US military used up 50-80% of its entire pre-war inventory of 360 Terminal High-Altitude Air Defence (THAAD) interceptors during the aggression against Iran. These will take over four years to replace at a cost of over $15 million each.

On the surface, the US' designation of the "Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood" as a Foreign T*rrorist Organization (FTO) sounds like counter-terrorism. In reality, it is a geopolitical bribe that signs a death warrant for millions of Sudanese people.

The US' move legitimises the actual t*rrorists - the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia. Despite their g*nocidal campaigns and use of rape, starvation, and mass execution as weapons of war, the US refuses to designate the RSF as an FTO.

This further confirms how the US enables the destruction of Sudan perpetrated by the UAE, which funds the RSF's g*nocidal t*rror under the guise of fighting Islamism. It is no surprise that the UAE was the only state to welcome the FTO designation, although observers suggest it reflects an attempt to get the UAE to join the US-Israel war on Iran.

Nonetheless, contradictions behind the decision are alarming. If the US were truly against Islamism in Sudan, why have they not designated an RSF whose leadership is packed with them?

In addition, there is no such thing as a "Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood". There is, however, a coalition of Islamist groups known as the Sudanese Islamic Movement. But the US' designation does not include the most powerful one: the National Congress Party that ruled Sudan during the dictatorship led by Omar Al-Bashir.

This vague designation may worsen the humanitarian crisis as it may cause banks to stop dealing with Sudan, thereby blocking NGOs from transferring life-saving funds to civilians. Thus, it is not the "t*rrorists" who will suffer. It is the starving families that the RSF is already punishing.

For the Empire, Sudanese lives are mere collateral damage in an attempt to dominate and subdue the Global South. To end the whitewashing of genocide, the REAL terrorists must be designated: the RSF and their Emirati sponsors.

Introduction
The US State Department has designated the ‘Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood’ as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO).

The move is widely opposed as it may worsen Sudan’s humanitarian crisis, and legitimises the real terrorists: the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.

Legitimising a genocidal militia
Despite its genocidal campaigns and large-scale atrocities, including rape and starvation as weapons of war, the US has not designated the RSF as an FTO.

This is why, for Sudanese people, the US enables the UAE’s destruction of Sudan by legitimising the actual terrorists: the RSF.

A Thread 🧵

Did you know that ICE is using an app called ELITE created by Palantir that populates a map with alleged deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address? The confidence score calculates the probability of the subject physically being at the address, which requires data from other sources such as DHHS and USCIS, as confirmed in digital rights reports. .

Such technology empowers ICE agents who filter the map by what the guide calls Special Operations. These are “groups of pre-defined aliens specifically targeted by Leadership for action”

This form and level of surveillance should not take Americans by surprise. From slave patrols and Jim Crow policing that targeted Black people, to the COINTELPRO operations that spied on civil rights and anti-war organisers, the United States has a rich history of spying on marginalised communities.

From the US to Palestine to England, Palantir continues to cement its status internationally.

In November 2023, NHS England awarded Palantir a £330m contract to create a new data management system. In response, more than 100 health workers, patients, and allies picketed the offices of NHS England on 3rd April 2024 to demand the cancellation of this contract.

In addition to this, Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp says he is “exceedingly proud” of Palantir’s involvement in what he calls “operationally crucial operations in Israel. Palantir is responsible for creating systems like ‘Lavender’ and ‘Where’s Daddy?’, which reportedly speed up the process of killing Palestinians.

Will we see more private companies creating technology used by Western governments to help hunt and deport people from marginalised communities?

A Thread 🧵

On December 24, 2025, Algeria’s parliament unanimously passed a landmark law criminalising France’s 132-year colonial occupation. For the first time, the North African country once described as the “Mecca of Revolutionaries” by African liberation icon Amilcar Cabral, legally codified the tragedies of 1830–1962, demanding an official apology and full reparations for over a century of systematic destruction.
With French rule a dark era marked by brutality and theft, we looked at ten of the worst crimes.

On 24 December 2025, Algeria’s parliament passed a law declaring France’s colonisation of the country a crime.
Lasting from 1830 to 1962, French rule over Algeria was marked by mass killings, brutality and theft. Here are 10 of the worst crimes.

1. Looting

As part of the 1830 invasion of Algeria, France looted the Algiers treasury, with 43 million Francs shipped back to France.
As the colonial plunder continued, historians estimate that France remains in possession of
110 tons of Algerian gold and silver, alongside $80 to $180 billion in today’s money.
