This is why South Africa is being targeted by USA. The ICJ case South Africa brought against Israel could also be a reason because this decision came about soon after Israeli prime minister got to the USA. Elon musk is also puppeteering Trump for the land laws. Being from SA he’s fellow whites are loosing land, but yes, BRICS is a major issue.

🇧🇫Burkina Faso's Agricultural revolution :

For decades, Burkinabes were told they can't grow Pineapples, and that they had to import it from overseas.

Now domestically trained Burkinabe scientists, have conducted research on the soil and what organic fertilisers would derive better yields, and the result is phenomenal. They have cracked the nuts.

So far, over 100 tonnes of Pineapples have been harvested, better quality and taste.

The government invested CFA 9 million, and they have made a profit of over 25 million.

With great leadership there is no impossibities for Africans. Sky is our limit.

In the movie The Black Panther, Erik Killmonger wore a very distinctive mask that he had taken from the British Museum. Additionally, Killmonger uttered the most famous words of the movie when he said, "just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from the ships because they knew that death was better than bondage". There is a deep connection between those words and the mask that Killmonger wore.

The mask of Killmonger is from the Igbo people who are from Southern Nigeria. The mask of the Igbo people are known as Mgbedike mask and they are used for ceremonial purposes.

In May of 1803, a significant event took place known as the Igbo Landing. After crossing the Middle Passage, a slave ship arrived in Georgia with a cargo of slaves. 75 of those people were Igbo people and they were sold for roughly $100 each. They were then transferred to another ship to be moved to their destination. Once upon the new ship, the Igbo people rebelled. During the rebellion, the Igbo people killed their captors and took control of the ship. With no way of returning home and facing the likelihood of being recaptured into slavery, the Igbo people agreed to commit suicide...together. They all walked into the ocean singing a song and drowned.

This is what Killmonger was referring to when he said, "just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from the ships because they knew that death was better than bondage".

In Africa, a diastema—the gap between the upper front teeth—carries unique names and cultural significance across different regions. For example it is known in some places to be a sign of great wisdom, wealth, and even sexual prowess.

In Zulu, it's called "itsaka," while in Northern Sotho, South Africa, it's either “Mokhino” or "lesoro la mare." The Sesotho term is "boroko," and in Uganda, Runyoro speakers refer to it as "ensanani," In Malawi, among the Chewa, it’s known as "mpata" or "kampata," and the Kalanga term is "hatji." Shona speakers call it "saka," while in Sepedi, it’s "mohlaga." In Swahili, the word is "mwanya," in Otjiherero, Namibia, it’s "ohivara," in isiXhosa, "umhlantla," and in Zambia, it’s "umuchene” in Lozi/Barotse.

It is an inherited trait, so chances are people with diastema all share a common ancestor.
No matter the region, it is often seen as a mark of beauty or distinction, celebrated and embraced as a unique feature.
What do you call it?

100 years ago today, anti-colonial socialist revolutionary, Amilcar Cabral, was born

The anti-colonial freedom fighter Amílcar Cabral was born on this day in 1924. He led the fight to overthrow Portuguese colonialism in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, contributing to the end of Portugal’s fascist dictatorship. Cabral went on to become one of Africa’s most influential communist pan-African revolutionaries.

The colonies of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde were governed by a fascist dictatorship in Lisbon long after other colonial powers like Britain and France had been formally thrown out of Africa by anti-colonial movements. Cabral led the fight for independence against the Estado Novo (New State) dictatorship led by António Salazar and his successor, Marcelo Caetano. Through helping the anti-Portguese resistance in Angola, he aimed to achieve freedom for all of Portugal’s African colonies.

As a committed pan-Africanist and socialist, he focused on creating a socialist bloc by unifying Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. As they liberated areas of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, Cabral and his forces tried to build a socialist economy with central planning and cooperatives.

Cabral, a trained agronomist, pioneered social and agricultural programs to ensure food supply to the liberation army and the local population.

Just eight months before Guinea-Bissau achieved independence in September 1973, Cabral was assassinated by members of his movement, who it is believed were linked to the Portuguese intelligence services.

In 1990, Italian geologist Angelo Pitoni purchased strange blue stones from a Fula Chief in Sierra Leone in West Africa. The people claimed the rocks were brought by visitors from the sky.

Pitoni returned home to Europe and brought the mysterious rocks to a university for testing. The results showed the stones didn’t match any known mineral. The researchers couldn’t explain why the rocks retained a blue color. When a small piece was pulverized and viewed under a microscope, there was no blue color visible. Heating the stone to high temperatures would not alter the mineral. Acids would not break it down.

Further analysis showed that 77.17% of the stone was Oxygen. The remaining composition was Carbon, Calcium, and an unknown organic compound. The age of the Sky Stones may be as much as 55,000 years old.
