AES: Niger Grants Uranium Mining Permits to State-Owned Firms, Revoking France &Western Firms |A
AES: Niger Grants Uranium Mining Permits to State-Owned Firms, Revoking France &Western Firms |A Kwabena Ofori Osei 23 Views • 3 months ago

Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Niger snubbed France by granting uranium mining permits to state-owned firms. Niger’s military government is accelerating its push for resource nationalism by revoking mining rights of Western corporations and transferring them to state-controlled entities. In a major setback for France, Niamey awarded the In Azaoua uranium permit to TSUMCO SA—a new state enterprise formed after Niger seized control of the SOMAÏR mine from French nuclear giant Orano. Meanwhile, the Madaouela I permit was reassigned to the Madaouela Mining Company following the license revocation of Canadian firm GoviEx Uranium. These bold economic shifts coincide with escalating geopolitical tensions across the Sahel. Niger, alongside Mali and Burkina Faso under the Alliance of Sahel States, has cut ties with former colonial power France and forged closer security partnerships with Russia. Tensions reached a boiling point after a deadly assault at Niamey’s international airport, leading military leader General Abdourahmane Tchiani to accuse Western powers of backing regional instability. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.

Mandinka-Franco Wars: West Africa Guerrilla War Tactics Against the French
Mandinka-Franco Wars: West Africa Guerrilla War Tactics Against the French Kwabena Ofori Osei 23 Views • 3 months ago

Most of you may be familiar with the story of Mansa Musa and his famous pilgrimage to Mecca, but have you heard of the last "Malian" king, whose army manufactured its own rifles while fighting a guerrilla war against the French?

The Franco-Mandinka Wars are considered by many scholars to be the first modern wars in Africa, requiring the mobilization of entire populations to assist in the war effort and involving the utilization of modern weaponry on both sides.

Take a look at the deadly and timeless tactics of West African insurgents.

What Happened to Mansa Musa’s Royal Family After the Mali Empire Fell?
What Happened to Mansa Musa’s Royal Family After the Mali Empire Fell? Kwabena Ofori Osei 23 Views • 3 months ago

Mansa Musa is widely considered the richest person who ever lived. His wealth was so vast that economists have given up trying to calculate it. During his famous pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324, he gave away so much gold in Cairo that he crashed the Egyptian economy for over a decade. But Mansa Musa didn't build this empire alone. He inherited a dynasty — the Keita family — that had been accumulating power and wealth for generations before him. His great-uncle Sundiata Keita, a crippled prince driven into exile, rose from nothing to defeat a tyrant and found the Mali Empire from scratch. At its peak, Mali controlled half the world's gold supply, built one of the greatest universities in history, and commanded a territory larger than Western Europe.

But after Mansa Musa died, everything fell apart. Weak successors, civil wars, power-hungry viziers, and rising enemies tore the empire to pieces. Within two generations, the golden age was over. Within two centuries, the empire was gone entirely. So what really happened to the family that built the richest empire in human history? And where are the Keitas today?

This is the full story of how one dynasty rose from exile and poverty to build the wealthiest empire the world has ever seen — and how they lost it all.

When China Was Weak, the West Sold Opium.Now It Lectures China On Democracy- Kishore Mahbubabni SLAM
When China Was Weak, the West Sold Opium.Now It Lectures China On Democracy- Kishore Mahbubabni SLAM Kwabena Ofori Osei 23 Views • 2 months ago

"When China was weak, the West sold opium. Now that China is strong, the West sells 'democracy.'"In this powerful follow-up to our first reaction, we dive back into Kishore Mahbubani’s explosive speech at the Institute of Art and Ideas. Mahbubani pulls no punches as he explains why the Western obsession with "containing" China is not just failing, but is fundamentally rooted in a historical misunderstanding of Chinese civilization.From the brutal reality of the Opium Wars and the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 to the modern-day "Yellow Peril" rhetoric, we deconstruct the double standards used to demonize China’s return to the world stage. We also look at the shifting math of the Global South—where trade and autonomy are replacing old hierarchies—and why the world is no longer interested in a single-power veto.In this video, we discuss:* Why the West fears a civilization it can no longer control.* The "Drug Racket" history: Britain, Opium, and the Treaty of Nanking.* The Yellow Peril 2.0: How old racist tropes are being repackaged as "security threats."* Why the Global South (BRICS) is choosing development over containment.* The reality of "Pragmatism": Why supply chains matter more than tweets.CHAPTERS00:00 - China Learned the Hard Way01:17 - Clip: “The West Constantly Demonizes China”03:10 - They Need a Villain: CCP vs Civilization04:50 - Clip: “You Stuffed Their Mouths With Opium”07:55 - Democracy by Gunboat: Britain’s Opium War09:31 - The EU’s economy Will Be Half China’s11:19 - Clip: “Fear of the Yellow Peril”12:58 - Same Fear, New Suit: Exclusion to “China Threat”15:04 - Clip: “Don’t Underestimate Ancient Civilisations”17:09 - Iran Is Not China: A Different Scale of Power18:27 - Clip: “The Rest of the World Won’t Help The West Contain China”20:27 - Global South Has Options: BRICS and Trade21:53 - Clip: “Trump’s Pragmatism”23:06 - China Had the Cards: Rare Earth Reality24:05 - Clip: “Will the West Become Enlightened?”24:45 - The Test of Equality: Can the West Accept China?25:46 - China Will Not Be Weak AgainOriginal Speech: https://youtu.be/Vp5vfnPc5b0?s....i=xz2TnIWw7wMZFIAvCh became strong because it remembers what happens when you are weak.What do you think?
