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.

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.

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? ICE IS USING AN APP CALLED ELITE

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.

The US launched airstrikes in northwest Nigeria, claiming to target ISIS militants in a mission to protect Christians. But as the smoke clears, analysts and Pan-Africanists alike are questioning the true motives behind this intervention.

Critics suggest these strikes are less about Nigerian security and more about US domestic politics. By framing the bombing as a "crusade" for the evangelical Christian right, the Trump administration is using Africa as a stage to pander to one of its key voter bases.

Nor has the significance of oil been missed. Following attacks on Iran and Venezuela, Nigeria is now the third oil-rich nation the US has struck this year. History shows that whenever the US "exports democracy" or "protection" to resource-rich lands, the result is rarely stability. From Iraq to Libya, the pattern is clear: military intervention is the precursor to economic extraction.

While some Nigerians have cheered the strikes, Pan-Africanists are more sceptical. This mirrors the early days of the NATO intervention in Libya, which some locals initially viewed as promising until it spiralled into a decade of state collapse and militia rule.

The "protecting Christians" narrative falls apart when held up against US foreign policy elsewhere. While the US claims to be the guardian of the faith in Nigeria, it continues to provide unconditional support to Israel, which has systematically targeted and displaced some of the world's oldest P*lestinian Christian communities.

Ultimately, a Western power conducting unilateral strikes on African soil is a direct assault on Global South sovereignty. Real security cannot be granted by a foreign imperial power. When they enter your house to "clean" it, they rarely leave the keys behind. The US launched airstrikes in northwest Nigeria claiming that it is targeting IS militants who are killing Christians.

When you think about imperialism in Africa, what pops up in your mind? Most people would envision old-style European colonialists or their modern variants, especially the French. Many may think of the United States' sprawling network of AFRICOM military bases. And Western mainstream media is relentlessly conditioning us to lump in China and Russia as new "imperialist" powers as well.

But at first glance few would think of Canada, which has managed to slip under the radar and coast on its inoffensive international reputation. But thanks to its huge mining industry, it punches far above its weight when it comes to the West's systematic looting of Africa's mineral wealth. Canadian companies own $39 billion in mining assets across the continent and have a presence in almost two-thirds of its countries.

And Canada is no less brazen than any other neocolonial power when it comes to defending its resource chokehold. An unbroken throughline of corruption, fraud, and skulduggery runs from apartheid South Africa to today's sprawling mining empire. The sordid history of one company in particular, Barrick Gold, paints a sordid picture of the whole. But it also points us to one of the most inspiring focal points of modern-day resistance: Mali, whose new government is recovering popular sovereignty by aggressively moving to nationalize Barrick's assets and bring its racist executives to justice. For decades, Canada has garnered an unearned reputation as a friendly alternative to its bullying imperialist southern neighbour. But the country shows its true neocolonial face in its vast $39 billion corporate mining empire in Africa.

For several weeks, Japan has been embroiled in a high-stakes diplomatic spat with China over the island of Taiwan. Formally recognized as part of China by all countries on earth (even the handful that recognize Taipei), the island has been led since 2016 by an increasingly hardline separatist party. Historically, they have romanticized Japan's brutal 1895-1945 colonial rule over Taiwan as the basis for their claim to independence from mainland China.

Into this combustible mix, Japan's new far-right prime minister Sanae Takaichi dropped a bombshell by stating that Chinese military action over Taiwan could constitute a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan. Under the terms of the post-WWII constitution that allows military force only in self-defense, this would manufacture a pretext for Japan itself to declare war on China.

Effectively she's doing an end-run around the Japanese right's long-stalled plan to revise the constitution to allow aggressive war. But her statement implicitly asserts a territorial claim to Taiwan itself. This is an even harder red line for China, which suffered around 35 million casualties in its War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression from 1931-45. To this day, Takaichi and her wing of Japan's ruling party systematically deny those wartime atrocities.

This is the crucial context that Western media systematically leave out in their historically illiterate scaremongering about China's supposed "threats" to Japan. Thus far they've amounted to targeted trade restrictions, travel advisories, and mean tweets. But for the Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, over a century of unresolved historical injustice is at stake. On 7 November, Japan’s newly appointed far-right prime minister Sanae Takaichi provoked an ongoing diplomatic crisis by stating that military action by China over Taiwan could constitute a “situation threatening Japan’s survival” and result in Japanese military intervention.

Born in a refugee camp in Gaza in 1961, Mohammad Dahlan joined the ranks of Palestinian activists in his youth, resisting Israeli rule. By 1987, he had become a major political player and soon became the head of security for the Palestinian Authority across the Strip.

During these years, the Bush Administration began to support Dahlan, referring to him as “our boy,” hoping he would eventually oust H*mas in Gaza. However, the plan failed and Dahlan was exiled from occupied Palestine.

He fled to the United Arab Emirates, where he became a key adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. According to former CIA director George Tenet, “the UAE took him in as their pitbull.”

Since 2011, Dahlan, now based in Abu Dhabi, built close ties with the ruling elite. He became involved in advancing the UAE’s interests in Yemen, including by helping facilitate a meeting with Spear Operations, a mercenary group founded by Hungarian Israeli Avraham Golan, which carried out a mass assassination campaign in and outside Yemen.

According to a 2018 BuzzFeed report, “Dahlan and the UAE government signed off on the deal, Golan and Gilmore said, and Spear Operations Group got to work,” a decision that would not have been possible “without consulting Dahlan,” according to Palestinian academic Bishara A. Bahbah.

Acting as a security adviser to the crown prince of Abu Dhabi,Mohamed bin Zayed, Dahlan arrived in Khartoum, Sudan, in 2019 aboard an Emirati jet accompanied by an unnamed Emirati minister. He was accused of coordinating with Israel to seize the Red Sea and support the secession of Darfur, both serving UAE interests.

Due to his alleged involvement in facilitating war crimes in Yemen, the London based law firm Stoke & White submitted evidence to authorities on 12 February 2020 requesting that Britain, the United States, and Turkey exercise jurisdiction to arrest Mohammad Dahlan. From Gaza to Sudan
You will find the involvement of Mohammed Dahlan, a Palestinian man from Gaza who is a close advisor to the UAE, who has been described by political commentators as an Israeli agent.

UNMASKING THE ICE-ISRAEL CONNECTION EXPORTING VIOLENCE ON PALESTINIANS TO THE UNITED STATES’ STREETS

Across the U.S., ICE raids are ramping up again, tearing families apart, terrorising communities, and spreading fear among immigrants and refugees. At the same time, in Gaza, Israel’s ongoing g3n0cid3 continues despite “ceasefire” headlines, sustained by billions in U.S. aid and unwavering political cover.

These two realities are not separate. They are part of the same system of militarised control: one that sees certain lives as disposable, borders as weapons, and surveillance as safety. The collaboration between the U.S. and Israel extends far beyond foreign policy.

It’s an exchange of tactics, technologies, and ideologies that return home to criminalise, deport, and surveil Black and Brown communities in Turtle Island. What’s being tested on Palestinians under occupation and genocide is being imported into U.S. neighbourhoods—from the drones over Gaza to the ones patrolling the Rio Grande; from the checkpoints in Hebron to ICE raids in Chicago.

From Gaza to North America to London, the same logic of control drives state violence: profiling, surveillance, and punishment for being poor, Muslim, Black, Brown, undocumented, or unafraid to resist. ICE’s raids and Israel’s bombs are two expressions of one system: one that criminalises survival and calls it “security”. But solidarity disrupts that system. Every act of care, protection, and defiance sows a counter-architecture: one rooted in freedom, not fear. As we unmask these connections, we reclaim our power to imagine a world without cages or occupation, where liberation in Palestine and justice in Chicago rise together. TECHNOLOGY AND CONTRACTORS
