Watch this video as Firstpost examines the growing U.S. security footprint in Nigeria and asks whether Donald Trump’s campaign over Christian persecution is becoming connected to a much larger strategic interest: oil. American-made Aerosonde drones supplied by Textron Systems are now being deployed by Nigerian security company Tantita to monitor pipelines and offshore energy assets in the Niger Delta. The development comes as Nigeria’s crude production reaches its highest level in six years. For years, U.S. military cooperation with Nigeria focused largely on fighting Boko Haram and Islamic State militants. But Washington’s pressure over religious freedom, counterterrorism operations, military training and new surveillance technology is now intersecting with Nigeria’s critical energy infrastructure. Does this prove that oil was behind America’s religious freedom campaign? No. But the growing overlap raises a bigger geopolitical question about Washington’s interests in Africa’s largest oil producer. Alyson Le Grange tells you more on Firstpost Africa.

They are one of the most religious and most secretive community in the world: Hasidic Jews. An insular religious community with hundreds of thousands of members. In the heart of New York, surrounded by skyscrapers and modern life, there exists another world, one that lives by its own traditions.

We’re in the middle of New York City, yet we rarely hear English. In this part of Brooklyn, many people speak Yiddish, while Hebrew also plays an important role in religious life.

In this documentary, we step inside this closed-off community to see what everyday life really looks like. We visit their neighborhoods, homes, workplaces, and synagogues, speak with members of the community, and also hear from someone who chose to leave it behind.

A xenophobic movement that targets fellow Africans, claiming to fight for Black South Africans now finds common ground with 'AfriForum' - an organisation rooted in the defence of the unjust white-settler colonial power and apartheid-era privilege.

The Spearhead’s Sannario examines how this alliance exposes the complete lack of any fundamental ideological basis beneath March and March!
