They call Muskism "an operating system for the 21st century."Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.

The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have raised fuel costs and caused shortages of key fertilizers around the world, wreaking havoc on the agricultural industry. Adam Hanieh, director of the SOAS Middle East Institute at the University of London, says the effects could be felt for a long time, particularly in the Global South.
“About a third of the world’s basic fertilizers now pass through the Strait of Hormuz,” says Hanieh, who adds that the “coming food crisis” is compounded by the climate and debt crises in much of the developing world. “It’s a perfect storm.”

In this February 2026 interview with The Narrative Network, Zimbabwean author, educator and Pan-Africanist Joshua Maponga sheds light on the reality of “democracy” in Africa, how the colonially imposed charade serves only to hinder development on the continent, and how the parasitic Western nations that imposed this charade on the continent are only too willing to set it aside when it comes to protecting their own interests.
Between the United States’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the European Union’s Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI)-Global Europe, the West spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually in Africa to “support democracy”.
But what is the West really supporting? Why do the so-called “flaws” of democracy in Africa always seem to benefit Western powers? And what do the ongoing developments in Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso have to teach the rest of the continent about what Western-approved “democracy” really is and what purpose it really serves?
Since forming the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) in 2024 and abandoning the brand of “democracy” tailor-made for Africa by the West, Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso have seen rapid social, economic and political progress, while facing relentless attacks by Western-backed terrorists, economic isolation and sovereignty violations by Western-aligned African states, and endless slander from Western and Western-aligned media.
It is left to the people of Africa to draw the obvious conclusion.

In this report, The Spearhead’s McKay Chukwu examines how public anger in South Africa is often directed at African migrants instead of the deeper economic structures driving inequality in the country.
Using recent controversies involving Nigerians in South Africa, the piece shows how frustration is quickly turned toward foreigners while the legacy of apartheid, land dispossession, and the concentration of wealth remain largely untouched.
Xenophobia is a distraction from the real sources of hardship for many Black South Africans, leaving Africans divided against one another while the systems that benefit from that division stay firmly in place.

The U.S. implemented a naval blockade on Iran earlier this week. Laleh Khalili, a professor of Gulf studies who researches the shipping and logistics industry and its impact on the global economy says it could lead the U.S. military to begin “firing on ships that it assumes are Iranian or carrying oil from Iran or other cargo to Iran.” Iran, in response, could “interpret this as a belligerent action,” ending the fragile ceasefire agreed to by both parties. “Iran is going to defend itself against this imperial imposition, and how it's going to do that remains to be seen.”
Meanwhile, explains Khalili, shipping disruptions in the Gulf have affected the supply chains of key resources including oil, aluminum, helium and fertilizer. "Transportation costs are going to be higher, so food prices are going to be higher; people's MRIs are going to be scheduled out by six months … semiconductor manufacturing is going to be affected," Khalili says. "The crisis is only going to get more horrific before it gets any better."
