So called "Cargo Cults" are a phenomena on the Melanesian islands that began in the early 1900's after the natives of the islands were exposed to foreign soldiers that flooded the pacific during World Wars 1 and 2. Are they really a cult? Or are we watching the a future main stream religion in it's infancy? Let me know what you think below!

How people are fooled so easily when involved with religion. Gullibility spills over into other areas of ones life.

⁣Four Africans who grew up in the US/Canada recently travelled together around Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger to meet with grassroots organisations and ministries in the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) - to figure out what is going on and what the mood is in the Sahel region. The Thomas Sankara Centre organised the delegation in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, together with the Coalition for the Elimination of Imperialism in Africa based in the diaspora.

Join me as I dive into the complex situation in the Sahel and see if I can figure out whether Akufo-Addo is right about what he calls worsening security after the French exit! Welcome back to Izizi Africa, where we break down the biggest geopolitical developments across Africa. Today, we’re diving into a statement that’s making waves across the continent. Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo recently said that since the withdrawal of French troops from the Sahel, the security situation there has gotten worse. Guess where he said that and when? Here it comes. In an interview with French TV, FRANCE 24, Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo said he hoped Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger would rejoin the Economic Community of West African States regional bloc. He said that the decision of the military juntas in the three countries to withdraw from ECOWAS was a setback. Then he dropped a bombshell. He said in answer to a question, that the security situation has worsened since the departure of French troops from the Sahel region last year. Now hear it yourself. And I’ve got some thoughts—and questions—about what he’s saying and what it all means.

Global auto markets were rocked by a recent agreement between Uber, the global ride-sharing app, and BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle brand that is now the world's largest EV manufacturer and exporter.

While BYD will surely benefit through its partnership with Uber, the extra 100,000 vehicles in the first phase of the agreement with Uber represents only a modest percentage increase in BYD"s global sales.

Far more important is how this agreement will transform Uber. BYD is the most vertically integrated motor vehicle company today, and earns very high marks for vehicle quality and reliability, which will keep its cars on the road instead of in costly repair shops. The cars are fast-charging, with long-lasting battery life. And BYD can produce at far lower costs than non-Chinese carmakers.

This all adds up to Uber now able to create new markets as fast as BYD delivers cars to put on the road.

In this revealing video, we delve into the harsh realities surrounding the African Union (AU) and expose its shortcomings that have left millions of Africans questioning its true purpose. From the failure to protect the continent's wealth to the lack of unity among its member states, the AU seems to be more of a facade than a force for change. We discuss the failure of the AU to address critical issues such as the exploitation of the Democratic Republic of Congo's resources, the tragic assassination of Colonel Gaddafi, and the ongoing crises in regions like the Sahel, Somalia, and Sudan. Despite being a union, African citizens need multiple visas to travel across the continent while Europeans enjoy free entry. The hypocrisy and inefficiency are staggering.The video also covers the political failures, such as the constitutional coups in Uganda, the negligence during the Rwandan genocide, and the indifference toward the ongoing conflict in Ethiopia and Sudan. We question the role of the AU in maintaining peace and security when it fails to act on the continent's most pressing issues.Join us as we question whether the African Union is a beacon of hope or just a gang of greedy leaders who care more about their personal gains than the well-being of the people. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of Africa.

US Wins Deals in Tanzania & Ghana: Should Russia & China be Worried?

The line will help connect Angola's Lobito port in the Atlantic ocean to Tanzania's Dar es Salaam port in the Indian ocean.
