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.

Watch our exclusive interview with Beatrice, who left the Hasidic community: https://youtu.be/HH9ykGOHTBI

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.

"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?

Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Niger has launched a new verbal attack on former colonial ruler France and the European Union. Thousands of demonstrators flooded the Place de la Concertation in Niamey to rally behind General Abdourahamane Tiani following a failed military mutiny that triggered violent clashes across the capital. The uprising targeted strategic infrastructure, including Air Base 101 and areas around the presidential palace, before loyalist forces put down the assault with critical support from Russia's Africa Corps. Organised by pro-junta civil society groups, the rally saw crowds waving Nigerien and Russian flags while chanting anti-imperialist slogans. Speakers and demonstrators directed widespread anger outwards, publicly accusing France, the European Union, and regional allies within ECOWAS of orchestrating the unrest to overthrow the government. Since taking power in July 2023, Tiani’s government has systematically severed ties with traditional Western partners, aligning with Russia alongside neighbouring Sahel states. The latest unrest underscores Niger's deepening reliance on Moscow amid lingering internal instability and shifting regional alliances. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.

For over a million years, every human on Earth was dark-skinned — and the reason will completely rewire how you think about the human body.

If you shaved a chimpanzee, the skin underneath would be pale pink. So why is human skin bare, exposed, and — for 99% of our species' history — uniformly dark?

The answer isn't really about color at all. It's about fur, sweat, endurance running, and a single evolutionary "design package" that built the body you're using right now.

In this video, we trace how losing our fur forced our ancestors to evolve a biological sunscreen on the African equator — and why dark skin, not pale skin, is the true human default.

Dans cette vidéo :
• Why every great ape has pale skin under its fur — but humans don't
• How losing body hair turned us into the planet's best endurance machine
• The brutal biology of UVB, folate, and why pale skin near the equator was a death sentence
• How melanin became the keystone holding the entire human body together
• Why light skin is a recent "edit" that only appeared after we left Africa
