Zambia's Election: A Sovereign Choice or Another Dance to the IMF's Tune?

Zambia's upcoming election is widely expected to return President Hakainde Hichilema to power, with investors focused on whether his administration can move from debt-driven stabilization to genuine, broad-based growth.

The United States has approved a nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia that could potentially allow uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, raising serious nonproliferation concerns. This is a dangerous and hypocritical move by US imperialism, sacrificing global security to counter the influence of Russia and China and tighten its neo-colonial grip on the Middle East, directly threatening the progress and stability of the global south.

A Trojan Horse of Praise: Decoding the Atlantic Council's Report on US Investment in Latin America

A report from the Atlantic Council highlights that the US remains the largest foreign investor in Latin America and the Caribbean, with investment generating more jobs and innovation than Chinese capital, but it warns of China's rapidly growing strategic footprint in sectors like mining, automotive, and digital infrastructure.

Thousands of migrants fled South Africa after anti-immigrant groups issued an ultimatum, a situation exacerbated by state policy convergence with vigilante demands and deep-rooted socio-economic failures.

Russia's 'African Dream': A New Imperialism Disguised as Liberation?

Russia is strengthening its economic and military-technical cooperation with Sudan and other African nations, leveraging resource access and weapon sales under the banner of sovereignty and opposition to neocolonialism. This cynical exploitation of Africa's poverty and governance crises, disguised as partnership, represents a new wave of imperialist predation that will further destabilize the continent, betraying the very people it claims to liberate from Western dominance.
