for many south africans, looking at the history of south africa where we as south africans have experienced the partit and had freedom from apart it and we live in a democracy at the moment, many south africans can draw parallels between occupied palestine and south africa during a partit, and for that reason there's been an outpore of support from south africans for the palestinian cause and the freedom of palestinians. very similarly, our government, currently our ruling party at the moment, the anc as well as other parties of south africa, have taken a stance which has been towards and the freedom of palestine and in support of palestinians, because they two have experienced about it and see the parallels between occupied palestine and south africa during a parti8. now south africa's presidenta recently revealed that his country has submitted a referal to the international criminal court icc to investigate israel's war crimes in gaza. let's take a listen. as south africa, we have accordingly together with many other countries. in the world, so fit to refer this whole israeli government a

government for israel to the african solidarity by the african people for palestine. we are 54 countries on the african continent, and that distinction needs to be made. we've had, we had great acts of solidarity from kenya, from south africa, from nigeria, from senegal, from tanzania, from malawi. and so and so forth, so they have been, there been acts of solidarity, there have been demonstrations, there have been public statements. at arally in wagadugu in 1983, thomas sankara, the revolutionary leader of burkina faso, who was later assassinated, talked about how zionism was crushing arab people. en afrique du sud, en train detaller en train d'égorger les africains, simplement parce que ces africains pensent à la liberté comme vous. aujourd'hui, l'impérialisme, il est là-bas en train d'écraser les peuples arabes, c'est le cionisme, l'impérialisme est partout, et à travers sa culture qu'il répend, à travers ses fausses informations, il nous amène à penser comme lui, il nous amène à nous soumettre à lui, à le suivre dans toutes ses maneuvres de grâce, il faut que nous

the african union embodies the aspirations of all africans, and reflects their confidence that it can lead the continent through the practical expression of the goals of the charter, especially on issues related to self-determination and decolonization. i don't know which african union state would ever accept its territory being occupied by another country. the support, the chairperson has expressed for israell as an observer status in our union. suggests, if we accept this as au, that we accept infringement of our country's territorial integrity, this can never be accepted by us. now, our last question, goes to mr. johnson, now, how can these strong pro- palestinian stands, by south africa be replicated in other african countries, for israel to. gain observer status at the african union, which was strongly resisted to their credit by the south african government and neutralized, but nevertheless a big number of countries on the african continent have established more friendly relations with israel, very similar to what's happening in the middle east with saudi arabia and other countr

from the african union, but we demand as african people that all african countries should cut diplomaticperside israel. without any conditions whatsoever. well, there you have it, the people of africa are demanding that the governments should cut of ties with the israeli apart regime. i like to thank our guest today, miss jamia gallant and zahidrajan for their incisive analysis. that's all we had. for this week's edition of africa today, as always, it's great having you watch the show, you can watch this episode and all our previous shows on our website pressv.ir, thanks lot for watching and goodbye for now. انا كل احلامي راحت وكل طموحاتي ونفسسيتي كلها متدمره يعني احنا السلام عليكم وعليكم السلام ورحمه الله والله الحمد لله الحمدلله. tops here on press tv, israel continues its genocidal war on gaza now entering a 42nd day intends of finding strikes on territories, hospitals and people that are taking shelter there. un warrens civilians in gaza face starvation because... food and water have become practically non-existent due to israel's siege on the enclave. and the american civil libertie

. particularly south africans standing with palestine? israeli government has cut off supplies, water, food, electricity and fuel and blocated gaza, causing collective punishment to the people of gaza, this is violation of international law, and so this initiative by the minister foreign affairs is really comidable. and it serves as litmus test to our solidarity as africans and the imperative that we translate our solidarity into meaningful actions and support for an oppressed community like uh palestine so palestinians have demonstrated that they have capacity to continue resisting and we can only strongly believe in this by promptly submitting our available resources. to them and which for now can be in terms of humanitarian support and call upon the global community to also put pressure so for us this is very very important and we even ask the african union beyond that to suspend all relationships with the israeli apathide regime and also ask african union to spear head and coordinate executing of air lifting of humanitarian aid to par

now will african governments listen to the voices of the masses? hello, i'm mubarak kenya and this is africa today. this week we continue focusing on the issue of the african people standing with palestine amid the ongoing genocide by the israeli apart regime against palestinians in gaza, so stay with us and drop us a line through our social media handle. africa standing with palestine. spontaneous protests are taking place across africa to condemn israeli apartide regime's atrocities against palestinian. unians in the besieged ghaza strip. israel started its brutal genocidal war in gaza on october 7 after the palestinian resistance movement, hamas launched the surprise operation al-aqsa flot against the colonial entity. the people of africa have come out to express unfinching solidarity with oppressed palestinians while demanding a complete boycot of the israeli apartite regime. recently peaceful protest was organized in the kenyan coastal city of mombassa to express solidarity with palestinians to all of you who gathered here today amids the scot

and confront uh western imperialism gave birth to the concept of uh pan africanism of... and an africans, that is somebody uh who really uh wants the emancipation, total emancipation of the african continent, economically, politically, socially and culturally, from the from the from the apron string of the west, so m is right, moroccans also take part in regular rallies across the country and particularly in the capital rabat to protest atrocities. ماشي شي حاجه ولكن كيسمع المسؤولين وحتى الصهيون وذاكشي والناس اللي كيحاربوحاولوا انهم داك البطش ديالو يقلل على الاقل لو دخل غير الادويه على الاقل يحبسوا الحرب يعني واحد بحال نقول واحد 5% المسائل ربما كتابه في تويتر ربما وقفه ربما يكون العنف وما يكون شي مسائل اللي خارج القانون to listen to the masses and abandon ties with the tel aviv regime. i think i think what we should be able to take out most importantly is that what we have witnessed happening in rabat in morocco. where we are having people organizing themselves under the political circumstances that they might find themselves in because the monarchy system is very unique system that gener

kenya to establish the pan-african institute in the country. he told the audience that no one could claim to be a true pan-africanist without supporting the oppressed in palestine. let's take a listen. this nelson mandela you celebrate for 27 years he was in prison because he was a terrorist. what crime did he commit which the palestinians are not committing? his crime was to fight for the liberation of the people of south africa and the oppressed world all over, including the people of palestine, at the age of 9 years, the boors walked into my house and turned everything ups and down. stripped my mother naked. when i see what those children of palestine are going through, i can immediately relate that this is what apart looks like. we cannot be pan africanist if we can't associate with the oppressed nation. our pan africanism is based on the basis that we are an oppressed nation ourselves and everywhere else w we see an oppressed person, that person is our sister, that person is our mother, that person is our father, because we are not free un

africans will receive money from russia to denounce france. difficult for me and my family. i am considering leaving france because today i live under the threat of death, my family is threatened, i take precautions when i am in france, i am restricted in my movements, i am a victim of political-police persecution. because i maintain ties with russia, because we support russian policies and president putin, we are accused of being agents of russian influence. in a sense , we have become enemies of france, not only because we are fighting for the freedom of the african continent, but also because we defend and support russia in its. politics and cooperation with the african continent. madame samake is very far from politics, but she has been waiting for a real opportunity to cooperate with russia for many years, ever since she graduated from the agricultural institute in odessa back in the soviet years. after studying, i went home, created an artificial insemination center, it was the first such center in mali, in the old days madame samaké rec

many african governments have always. supported an independent palestine. in the current crisis, african governments universally opposed the israeli regimes's genocidal war against palestinians in gaza. julius malema, the leader of south africa's economic freedom fighters party recently went to kenya to establish the pan-african institute in the country. he told the audience that no one could claim to be a true pan-africanist without supporting the oppressed in palestine. let's take a listen. this nelson mandela. celebrate for 27 years he was in prison because he was a terrorist, what crime did he commit? which the palestinians are not committing, his crime was to fight for the... liberation of the people of south africa and the oppressed world all over, including the people of palestine, at the age of 9 years, the boors walked into my house and turned everything ups and down, stripped my mother naked. when i see what those children of palestine are going through, i can immediately relate that this is what apartate looks like. we cannot be. panafricanist if

and it never occurred to me that perhaps one day the african population, the african youth , would mobilizecomplete expulsion of france from the african continent. you know, africa can live without france, but the question is to quickly answer, of course not, today france is driven by the fear of not being able to live without the african continent, since it needs the natural resources, minerals of the african continent to remain a great power, because prosperity, greatness france today draws its inspiration directly from the african continent. it continues to finance terrorist and separatist groups to unleash ethnic wars and further destabilize the situation, because destabilizing the african continent in some ways benefits french politics. now we see that france is in despair and in order to digest this defeat, it comes to the point where it takes a pose of refusal, denial. for example, the narrative of the french government. regarding my situation in france, it is really difficult for me and my family, i am considering leaving france because today i live under the threat of death, my fam

its significance for african americans. asok i said he titled his book e black man into the wounded world. he wasre wrestling with incrediy profound questions. what does it mean to live in a wounded world? what does it meann to live in a world scarred by war, by racism and white supremacy, by violence, by economic exploitation, by empire? those are incredibly profound and weighted questions that he himself even struggled with and i think the questions that we are still struggling with today. so hopefully my book offers a glimpse into some of these questions as well as a new way of thinking about the great new w. e. b. du boise. [applause] whenus you sell the manuscript u tried to wipe out his name. >> don't get me in trouble. there might be lawyers listening. listening. >> anyone who knows anything at all about the great war thinks he wrote for the crisis magazine which he was an editor selling it in july 1918 entitled close ranks. first, what was he arguing and second, why was he arguing it? third, why was it controversial

now the genocide in gaza brings to mind the atrocities perpetrated by european colonial powers over african countries. the israeli occupation of palestine continues to rely on strategies similar to those used by colonial powers during the evil slave trade, colonialism and apartite in africa. the former south african president and anti-apartide hero supported resistance and fought for the liberation of all oppressed people around the world. mandela was particularly categorical in his opposition to the israeli apathide regime's occupation of palestine. the current genocidal war perpetrated by israel against palestinians in gaza has once again reminded the world and especially africans about the pronouncement by nelson mandela that we know. too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of palestinians, so when will africa fulfill the wish of nelson mandela? hello, i'm mubarak kenya and this is africa today. in this week's episode, we are focusing on commonalities between the struggle for independence in africa and the palestinian struggle for independence, amid the israele regime

the african american sailor was grabbed and charged with murder. he went through the court- martial proceedings and the court found him not guilty. as we think about cases like that, you wonder how this man would have fared in the civilian justice system. for example, if this had happened in new york city, for example were baltimore for that matter or washington or anywhere. there were ways in which african american sailors in the civil war navy could have achieved a level of justice they might not have been able to have equal in civilian life. but by a large, it was a case of being integrated into a service but, at the same time being discriminated against in all kinds of ways. let me stop there for now and, i will let eddie take over and cover the postwar period and then we would like to get some conversation going. at the time permits have you make comments and ask questions as well. >> thank you for being here. most of my research has focused on the army, both of my parents were in the army i was in the army. the navy just happened to -- but in

i am so grateful that at some moment -- we are talking to an array of africans and african-americans, black americans and other terminology. you are an inspiration and an educator and certainly one of the places and ways we can be in africa is to do it through education. i'm delighted to have you here. let me quickly indicate that many of you know i have chaired the energy brain trust for 28 years. my predecessor, the former chair of the congressional black caucus organized the energy brain trust to begin a dialogue that did not leave people of color outside the circle of discussion. i think jerome remo may have known nikki and knew of his commitment, even today, but his footprint is in the wheel hunger center. we have the nikki leland texas toxic air center. i kept an active footprint on the question of energy. border security, all of these are woven in to how we move energy. the energy brain trust is convened to serve as a platform for all relevant stakeholders. the industry and a variety of mixture of industry. we want everyone's mind to be open minded. the title of this is the afr

andd african-americans and other peoples of african descent had to do their part. he encouraged african-americans to set aside their special grievances; lynching, jim crow, economic exploitation, right? put those aside for the time being and support their country. closes ranks with the fellow white americans and allied nations fighting for democracy. and he said we make no ordinary if sacrifice,, but we make it gladly and willingly with our eyes lifted to the hills. this elicited a firestorm of controversy.y. duboise's harshest critics label him a traitor to the race. if we think about who duboise was, someone who committed his life to the service, to the uplift of black people. to be called a traitor to the race was probably the worst charge that you could level at duboise, i would think. but i think close ranks really gets at the central dilemma that duboise is referencing in the soulti of his writings, this tension between being black and being american. what it means to be a patriot, what it means to be loyal to a country that is not low ideal to you. loyal to

the organization of african unity, the precursor to the african union, in its 12th ordinary session held in campalla in 1975, became the first international organization to recognize a law scale the inherent racism in israel's zionist ideology by adopting resolution 77. this same resolution was cited in the un general assembly resolution 3379 adopted in november of that same year which determined that zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination. recently amid the israeli genocidal war on gaza martin kimani kenyas permanent representative of the united nations like in ken struggle for independence with that of palestine and acknowledged palestinians rights, for freedom and their land. mr. president, this many decades later, we are still recovering from the wounds of colonial rule and the deep scars of the slave trade. we will never forget the decades we willingly endured immense suffering, including massacres and even concentration camps in our unyielding pursuit of independence and sovereignty. we can therefore relate to the raw feelings of anger and pain. being felt by the peo

many south africans are calling for the total boycot and isolation. afrikan government will outvote you if you don't expel the israeli ambassador who deliberately and openly and brazenly peddles apart it, we are campaigning for bds, boycot ivestment and sanctions in israel, we must isolated like we've isolated south africa during the aparted years, we must isolate israel now let's bring in mr. shakiru yakin in nigeria, now the message is quite clear there, the israeli regime's ambassador is unwanted in south africa, what's your take on this stand by the people? i must say i'm very glad uh to have my opinion taken regarding the uh. going on in the uh palestine caught see of uh uh israeli atrocities uh subsidized in full by the western countries led by united states of america uh with regard to uh the feelings in south africa uh which clearly shows that uh the country doesn't want to have anything to do with the apart regime in the... israel, i think uh, it uh, it it is very appropriate with what south africans have experienced in their own country as a

how would africans react to this?ers leave our territories and it doesn’t matter who will support us, be it italy, be it russia, if any country wants partnership relations with niger, we are completely open to this partnership, but we want it to be a partnership on a mutually beneficial basis , on a fair basis, thank you very much, this is exactly what we wish for you partnership... all the best for relationships, we touched on the topic a little bit italy, and its interests in africa, are they able to offer something to africa, now italy is not colonial policy, but in general something to offer because of development, and socially, you talked about this, let's listen to a fragment of this conversation, we'll discuss it later. this is one of my strategic plans, a plan for investing in energy in africa, of course there will be no immediate effect. in early november, we will present here at this conference our climate plan for africa, which is a kind of participation in energy investments for africa. yes, i understand.

and that started my interest and african and world. i guess as a kid i want to say blacks in the military and my mom though her father was in the army she knew the policies regarding blacks in the military period. so that really opened up my. also through graduate school first talking about in world war two and undergraduate thesis and then my master's thesis, the integration of the navy's world war two through my reserve program and then dissertation on the female reserve program. so as scholastically that's where that came from. and then while i was still in school between degrees, i started working at the naval history historical center then, but and i was an archivist and originally and i was one of those folks like some of you in this room probably, who worked for your in school, had the pleasure of doing that for 12 years. but, you know, thank god i got it. i learned a lot from it. and so at work you come in like any other job with a specialty, but then you develop specialties on a job according to the needs of where you work and

african continent is rich in minerals. this is the main problem that i forget has to solve at the moment. what i can do basically is getting, let's talk about the call duration of the elpac plus countries of which russia is the member. for example, decisions to voluntarily reduce production in the interest of developing their economies. do not always receive a positive response from western countries, especially washington. do you think western criticism of disorder and actions of that back plus member countries can turn into pressure. a lovely tongue twister as part of the struggle countries that own room materials such as oil and gas, must maintain that price balance in such a way that it is beneficial to old policies. we do not want one of the policies to be disadvantaged, but nevertheless we strive to maintain that price balance. this is the struggle that countries the natural resources should lead the month to go with your permission mister president. let's move on to other issues. how to comment on the current crisis

well, in general, the south african population, to a large extent. um, especially among black people, more than previously, there's been numerous solidarity activities taking place, many every week, for for the past six weeks or so, and the call has been very loud to the south african government to kick out the ambassador, the israeli ambassador, there was celebration of... of course when south africa decided to recall all our diplomats from tel aviv, of course we had recalled our ambassador in 2018 and not send back new one, but then you now the the call from the streets was that that wasn't sufficient, that it was intolerable that we continued to host the embassy of an apartate state in south africa, and so that call has been very strong from from civil society, when that call began to be echoed in parliament, um, it took on of course a different kind of flavor, but in general, i think there'll be great celebration, if the south african government makes the decision to close down the embassy. naim gina, whose research areas include the geopolitics of the minar region, security studi

that is what the african comes in. and once whether that is anti russian or anti american sentiment, we do not want to get involved in this hedge. a monic brinkman ship country has nothing to do with this. a country that corporates and interacts with us is our best partner, gilbert. what do you think about the accusation that equitorial gimme is accommodating a chinese military base summer? these are statements that we often refuse because in order to claim that equitorial guinea wants to accommodate the chinese military base, it is necessary to prove it. a country maintains excellent relations with all countries. in this sense we have very good relations with china. and the moments if we talk about the international security, our country is working with china in the area of defense. chinese instruct is a training ministry if this interaction is considered to be the establishment of the military base and such statements a ground. bless you. so we can say we're talking about the country solver and t n neutrality. so yes

i think we need to look at the history of african countries. one must remember that colonial powers have always lived off african results is when we got rid of that political control they wants to keep exporting. our results is this is why africa remains, poll white because they continue to exploit the result as ruthlessly did not want to acknowledge that true value. as a result, there's still a lot of poverty on a continent that leads to the emergence of new movements which push for and the constitutional changes. because they see that the heads of best states defend the interests of western powers, which exploits on natural resources. i've been able to serve as the president of equitorial guinea for a long time, because austin doesn't say that we're being rational about the use of all natural resources. however, even though we've been consistent in our policies, there's still room for improvement. that's why some companies are leaving our country because in their opinions the phone stands adopted by the government of equitorial guinea is not

in addition, moscow has always treated and still treats africans are respectful.tion of german businesses , sabile dal oma, said in berlin that investment by german companies in africa is disappointingly low. and most likely, one of the reasons for this is the same shabbyism of europeans in relation to the latter. in the world by population by continent. remember these very words of barel about the garden of eden and the jungle, so scholz’s call at this conference to german business that the potential of africa should not be underestimated was, to put it mildly, belated. sergey kholoshevsky, alexander dekin and boris filchikov, ntv european bureau. several russian regions are immediately eliminating the consequences of bad weather. in tatarstan, as well as samara, penza. in the ulyanovsk region , sections of federal highways were blocked. also, due to heavy snowfall, poor visibility on the roads temporarily limited the movement of buses and heavy trucks. bad weather caused a congestion of trucks at the verkhniy lars checkpoint, but it is located on the georgian mi

but many african leaders are not. pull seem to suggest that the majority of people in african countries see with moral clarity who is responsible. but they are reluctant for their government to take sides. why is that? what are the consequences? >> unfortunately, in africa, we have to separate leaders from people. the leaders in most african countries are only interested in themselves. they know what is wrong. they have two keep the importation lines open. for grain and wheat. as it is right now, russia is only exporting to friendly countries. they think if an african country is not friendly, they are not going to do that. african leaders are yet to carry the burden for their people. >> maybe we will come back to that. let's go to you. the world wildlife fund, many people have asked me this question, why is the world wildlife fund have a security and defense conference? what is your role. >> i think the previous speakers did a complete job. conservation and natural resource management is absolutely consequential to fo
