Senegal Does Away With French Names
https://africanstream.media/senegal-does-away-with-french-names/

Catch a cab in Dakar, Senegal, and you might think you’ve taken a wrong turn and ended up in Paris, thanks to the street names like Avenue Georges-Pompidou, Rue Félix-Faure and Rue Jules-Ferry, among others.

Things are changing, however, under President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, who rode an anti-colonial wave into power in March 2024. The duo appear to be on a mission to bolster Senegalese identity and cut ties with France despite worries that they had backed away from their anti-colonial campaign promises.

Seven months into his presidency, Faye called for French troops to pack their bags and leave Senegal, marking a significant pivot in the West African state’s foreign policy. This move is another blow at Françafrique, or the lingering sphere of French influence in West Africa. Senegal is now in league with other states in Africa’s Sahel region, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Chad, all of whom are busy dialling down their French connections, both cultural and military.

Faye tapped Sonko to head the National Council for Memory and Management of Historical Heritage, a new government agency tasked with renaming streets. The Dakar-based Front for Anti-imperialist, Popular and Pan-African Revolution (FRAPP) is leading the charge for a more Senegalese flavour in the capital’s nomenclature. FRAPP members argue that so many French colonial street names keep painful colonial memories alive.

One particularly bitter memory is the massacre of ‘tirailleurs senegalais’ (Senegalese troops serving the French colonial army) on 1 December 1944. When they protested for better pay, French colonial soldiers opened fire, k*lling as many as 400, according to scholars. Then, in 2012, then-French President François Hollande admitted France’s role in the massacre. He promised to hand over French archives on the incident on its 70th anniversary, but that never happened.

However, on the 80th anniversary, Faye rewrote Senegal’s story with physical markers to ensure the Senegalese never forget their heroes.

Morocco has signed a defense contract with Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems, strengthening its military partnership with the Israeli occupation.

According to French newspaper La Tribune, the deal entails the purchase of 36 Atmos 2000 self-propelled artillery systems.

This would make “Israel” Morocco’s third-largest weapons supplier, making up to 11% of its total arms imports, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute found.

It is worth noting that Elbit Systems is known for supplying the Israeli occupation forces with drones, munitions, combat vehicles, missiles, and various other types of weaponry. According to the British newspaper Morning Star, “The majority of their arms are marketed as ‘battle-tested,’ meaning they have been deployed in bombardments against the Palestinian people.”

Stream in Argentina Turns Blood-red:
https://www.geologyin.com/2025/02/stream-in-argentina-turns-blood-red.html

The Sarandí Stream in Avellaneda, a suburb of Buenos Aires, recently turned a vivid red, shocking residents and prompting swift action from environmental authorities. Witnesses described the water as resembling “a river of blood,” with a strong, unpleasant odor lingering in the air.

Preliminary investigations by Buenos Aires’ Ministry of the Environment suggest the discoloration may be linked to an organic dye spill. The Sarandí Stream flows through an industrial zone housing tanneries, textile factories, and chemical plants—facilities previously implicated in environmental contamination. Residents have long complained about pollution in the stream, noting past discolorations in shades of yellow, blue, green, pink, and purple, often accompanied by oily films and acidic odors.

I thought the same thing too when I saw those six dudes. They really are like farcical version of the Gang of Four.

Elon Musk acting more and more like Lin Biao

Reddit traffic probably hit a slump as well.

There’s nothing stopping them from creating fake Patreon accounts and funding Breadtubers that way. I suspect this is how they platform smaller channels who organically espouse anarcho-natoism but just need a push in money and views to get the ball rolling. But Contra also met Clinton before, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s getting checks from them.

The US recently passed that anti-China propaganda bill that would’ve allocated $1.63 billion to the state department and USAID. I don’t think getting rid of USAID would do much since the money is still being allocated for the state department to spend anyways. I wonder whether other funding uses this language. x billions of dollars is allocated to the US state department and USAID just becomes x billions of dollars is allocated to the US state department only. I don’t see why those NGOs can only cash checks send by USAID and not by the US state department since USAID, even right down to the name, is obviously part of the US government.

USAID wasted millions of dollars on and I know we like to joke about him, but there’s no way Rubio, one of the more competent imperialists, wouldn’t know how much of a fuckup Guaido is. Perhaps it was the straw that broke the camel’s back along with some politicking on Rubio’s part since USAID technically isn’t being dismantled but folded into the US state department. It’s mostly through Musk’s incompetence that they’re losing personnel instead of transferring USAID employees to the state department instead.

His proposal to send US troops to Gaza read a lot more differently once you realize US troops were already at Gaza. Remember how the US build that “humanitarian” pier only for the IOF to use that pier as a staging ground to murder more Palestinians and how Palestinians who survived that cowardly attack said that some of the shooters were wearing uniforms that looked different from IOF uniforms? US troops, sheepdipped as independent mercenaries, also butchered Palestinians.

Once again, Trump just said the quiet part out loud.

I don’t want to get all “muh constitution” but if the president can just unilaterally decide to eliminate federal departments there really isn’t a constitution at that point is there? Like that’s so far out of bounds of what’s legal in any way. Looks like it’s just going to happen?

The president always had this power. Outside of edge cases like the post office or the army, every federal department exists at the discretion of the president. Nothing’s stopping a president from shutting down almost every single federal agency outside of norms^TM, threats of impeachment, or being shown footage of the JFK assassination from the grassy knoll.

Not going to seriously happen unless the US suffers a massive L like Ansarallah sinking an aircraft carrier and broadcasting a live feed of the aircraft carrier slowly sinking into the ocean. If that happens, annexation of Canada for the sake of restoring national pride is far more likely.

Eh, it’s in the PRC’s geopolitical interest for the first island chain to be breached. If not Taiwan, then it’s invading the Philippines or Japan, which are UN states with US troops stationed there. Unlike those two, Taiwan isn’t a UN state. Having said that, I mostly think an invasion is unlikely because the PRC wants to pursue reunification through economic means and the status quo is soft reunification anyways.

I guess my point is that a Soviet Union can only do so much if that country is within the US’s sphere of influence. At a certain point, the only way for that country to even exercise sovereignty is for the Soviet Union to have troops stationed in that country. The only way for Mexico to not have CIA assets as presidents is if Mexico had enough KGB agents and Soviet troops there to make sure that CIA assets will never worm their way to levers of power. Of course, the US will almost certainly see KGB agents and Soviet troops stationed in Mexico as a de facto invasion of the US, which means nukes will be at play, so the question then becomes is the Soviet Union willing to get nuked for the sake of Mexico (or any other country). Since the answer is almost certainly a “no,” the Soviet Union has no choice but to cede Mexico to the US’s sphere of influence.

Mexico isn’t like Afghanistan or Nigeria or Indonesia. Mexico is right on the US’s borders. It’s like Taiwan in a way. The only real way for the US to save Taiwan from a PLAN blockade or amphibious invasion is if the Seventh Fleet is permanently stationed right at the Taiwan Strait and if US troops are stationed throughout Taiwan as human shields so that if the PLA militarily liberates Taiwan, they would have to go through US troops which will trigger MAD.

Almost all of Mexico’s presidents were CIA assets when the Soviet Union was still around. You have it backwards. It’s not that the Soviet Union needs to exist in order for Mexico to exercise its sovereignty but it’s the very existence of the Soviet Union which pushed the US to install US puppets to make sure that Mexico will never exercise its sovereignty.

At the end of the day, Mexico shares borders with a belligerent country that invaded and annexed half of its own territory. In more recent history, Mexico had to deal with machinations by the CIA ranging from CIA assets getting installed as presidents to cartels armed by US weapons.

“Poor Mexico, so far from God and so close to the United States.”

The Democrat-NGO-media complex has been an abject failure in the advocacy of people’s human rights.

I think pinkwashing has outlived its usefulness, partly due to how pinkwashing is so closely tied to the Zionist entity which has no international credibility at this point. Whatever progress people think has been made for queer rights will be unceremoniously rolled back, including gay marriage. We have reached the point where people can point to a color revolution by counting the number of visibly queer people and rainbow flags found within a protest and queerphobia gets rolled into an incredibly vulgar form of anti-imperialism.
