Thomas Sankara
In his 1984 speech before the UN General Assembly, Thomas Sankara spoke out on behalf of all those suffer.
We swear that in future in Burkina Faso nothing will be done without the participation of the people of Burkina Faso themselves, nothing that has not been decided by us, that has not been prepared by us. There shall be no more attacks on our honour and dignity.
Strengthened by this conviction, we want our words to cover all those who suffer, all those whose dignity has been crushed by a minority or a system.
Let me say to those who are listening to me now that I speak not only on behalf of Burkina Faso, my country which I love so much, but also on behalf of all those who suffer, wherever they may be.
I speak on behalf of those millions of human beings who are in ghettos because their skin is black, or because they have a different kind of culture, those whose status is hardly higher than that of an animal.
I suffer, too, on behalf of those Indians who have been massacred, trampled on and humiliated and who, for centuries, have been confined to reservations, so that they do not have any aspirations to any rights whatsoever, so that their culture cannot become enriched through contact with other cultures, including that of the invader.
I speak out on behalf of those who are unemployed because of a structurally unjust system which has now been completely disrupted, the unemployed who have been reduced to seeing their lives as only the reflection of the lives of those who have more than themselves.
I speak on behalf of women throughout the entire world who suffer from a system of exploitation imposed on them by men. As far as we are concerned, we are willing to welcome all suggestions from anywhere in the world that will help us to promote the full development and prosperity of the women of Burkina Faso. In return, we will share with all countries the positive experience we are now undertaking with our women, who are now involved at all levels of the State apparatus and social life in Burkina Faso, women who struggle and who say with us that the slave who will not shoulder responsibility to rebel does not deserve pity. That slave will alone be responsible for his own wretchedness if he has any illusions whatsoever about the suspect indulgence shown by a master who pretends to give him freedom. Only struggle helps us to become free, and we call on all our sisters of all races to rise up to regain their rights.
I speak on behalf of the mothers of our poor countries who see their children dying of malaria and diarrhoea, unaware that to save them there are simple methods available but which the science of the multinationals does not offer to them, preferring to invest in cosmetics laboratories and engage in cosmetic surgery to satisfy the whims and caprices of a few men and women who feel they have become too fat because of too many calories in the rich food they consume with regularity. That must make even members of this Assembly dizzy – not to mention the peoples of the Sahel. We have decided to adopt and popularize the methods that have been advocated by WHO and UNICEF.
I speak on behalf of the child, the child of the poor man, who is hungry and who furtively eyes the wealth piled up in the rich man’s shop, a shop that is protected by a thick window, a window which is defended by an impassable grille, the grille guarded by a policeman in a helmet with gloves and a bludgeon, the policeman placed there by the father of another child, who comes there to serve himself or rather to be served because these are the guarantees of capitalistic representativeness and norms of the system.
I speak on behalf of the artists – poets, painters, sculptors, musicians, actors and so on – people of good will who see their art being prostituted by the show-business magicians.
I cry out on behalf of the journalists who have been reduced to silence or else to lies simply to avoid the hardships of unemployment.
I protest on behalf of the athletes of the entire world whose muscles are being exploited by political systems or by those who deal in the modern slavery of the stadium.
My country is the essence of all the miseries of peoples, a tragic synthesis of all the suffering of mankind but also, and above all, the synthesis of the hopes of our struggles. That is why I speak out on behalf of the sick who are anxiously looking to see what science can do for them – but that science has been taken over by the gun merchants. My thoughts go to all those who have been affected by the destruction of nature, those 30 million who are dying every year, crushed by that most fearsome weapon, hunger.
As a soldier, I cannot forget that obedient soldier who does what he is told, whose finger is on the trigger and who knows that the bullet which is going to leave his gun will bring only a message of death.
Lastly, I speak out in indignation as I think of the Palestinians, whom this most inhuman humanity has replaced with another people, a people who only yesterday were themselves being martyred at leisure. I think of the valiant Palestinian people, the families which have been splintered and split up and are wandering throughout the world seeking asylum. Courageous, determined, stoic and tireless, the Palestinians remind us all of the need and moral obligation to respect the rights of a people. Along with their Jewish brothers, they are anti-Zionists.
Standing alongside my soldier brothers of Iran and Iraq, who are dying in a fratricidal and suicidal war, I wish also to feel close to my comrades of Nicaragua, whose ports are being mined, whose towns are being bombed and who, despite all, face up with courage and lucidity to their fate. I suffer with all those in Latin America who are suffering from imperialist domination.
I wish to stand side by side with the peoples of Afghanistan and Ireland, the peoples of Grenada and East Timor, each of those peoples seeking happiness in keeping with their dignity and the laws of their own culture.
I rise up on behalf of all who seek in vain any forum in the world to make their voices heard and to have themselves taken seriously.
Many have already spoken from this rostrum. Many will speak after me. But only a few will take the real decisions, although we are all officially considered equals. I speak on behalf of all those who seek in vain for a forum in the world where they can be heard. Yes, I wish to speak for all those – the forgotten – because I am a man and nothing that is human is alien to me.

Burkina Faso's military junta has announced a ban on homosexual acts, making it the latest African state to crack down on same-sex relations despite strong opposition from Western powers.
Homosexuality was frowned upon in the socially conservative West African state, but it was never outlawed.
Justice Minister Edasso Rodrigue Bayala said the junta's cabinet had now approved legislation to make it a punishable offence, but he did not give further details.
The military seized power in Burkina Faso in 2022, and has pivoted towards Russia after drastically reducing ties with former colonial power, France.
Homosexual acts were decriminalised in Russia in 1993, but President Vladimir Putin's government has been cracking down on the LGBTQ community, including banning what it calls "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations".
The doctor forced to fight jihadists in Burkina Faso
Nigeria-EU deal sparks false claims over LGBT rights
The Nigerian queer parties that offer liberation
Burkina Faso's decision to outlaw homosexual relations is part of an overhaul of its marriage laws.
The new legislation, which still needs to be passed by the military-controlled parliament and signed off by junta leader Ibrahim Traoré, only recognises religious and customary marriages.
"Henceforth homosexuality and associated practices will be punished by the law," the justice minister was quoted by AFP news agency as saying.
Capt Traoré took power in September 2022 after overthrowing another military ruler, Lt Col Paul-Henri Damiba, accusing him of failing to quell an Islamist insurgency that has gripped Burkina Faso since 2015.
Burkina Faso was among 22 out of 54 African states where same-sex relations were not criminalised.
Unlike in many former British colonies, it did not inherit anti-homosexuality laws after independence from France in 1960.
Muslims make up around 64% of Burkina Faso's population and Christians 26%. The remaining 10% of people follow traditional religions or have no faith.
Many African states have been taking a tougher stand against the LGBTQ community in recent years.
Uganda is among those that have adopted legislation recently to further crack down on the community, despite strong condemnation from local rights groups and Western powers.
In May, its Constitutional Court upheld a tough new anti-gay law that allows for the death penalty to be imposed for “aggravated homosexuality”, which includes having gay sex with someone below the age of 18 or where someone is infected with a life-long illness such as HIV.
Activists said they would appeal against the ruling.
The World Bank has halted new loans to President Yoweri Museveni's government while the US has stopped giving Ugandan goods preferential access to its markets, following the adoption of the legislation last year.
Mr Museveni defended the legislation as preserving traditional family values, and said Uganda would not allow the West to dictate to it.
The daughter of Cameroon's president drew mixed reaction after she came out as a lesbian last week.
Brenda Biya, who lives abroad, said she hoped that her coming out would help change the law banning same-sex relations in the country.
Cameroon has been ruled with an iron-hand by her 91-year-old father, Paul Biya, since 1982.
In Ghana, parliament passed a tough new bill in February that imposes a prison sentence of up to three years for anyone convicted of identifying as LGBTQ+.
However, President Nana Akufo-Addo has not signed it into law, saying he will wait for the courts to rule on its constitutionality.
The finance ministry has warned him that if the bill became law, Ghana could lose $3.8bn (£3bn) in World Bank funding over the next five to six years.
Ghana is suffering a major economic crisis and received a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) last year.

12095Khz 0358 19 MAY - BBC (UNITED KINGDOM) in ENGLISH from TALATA VOLONONDRY. SINPO = 55445. English, dead carrier s/on @0358z then ID@0359z pips and Newsday preview. @0401z World News anchored by Neil Nunes. The G7 leaders are holding their annual meeting in Hiroshima, Japan. Ukraine is top of the agenda as the US flags increasing sanctions on Russia and the UK bans Russian diamonds. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky will attend the summit in person, say media reports. Tensions with China also loom large - the G7 leaders want to ensure a "free and open Indo-Pacific". There will also be discussions on climate change, food security, health, and nuclear disarmament. The G7 comprises the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan - but eight other nations have been invited this year. The Walt Disney Company has scrapped a plan to invest nearly $1bn (£806m) to build a new corporate campus in Florida, it announced. The reversal comes amid an escalating feud between the entertainment giant and the state's Republican-led government headed by Ron DeSantis. Brazil's supreme court voted on Thursday to convict former President Fernando Collor de Mello on corruption and money laundering charges. The Brazilian prosecutor's office accused Collor of having received around 30 million reais ($6 million) in bribes from a subsidiary of state-run oil company Petrobras. An elderly Perth doctor who had been held captive in West Africa after being kidnapped in Burkina Faso has been released more than seven years later. Kenneth Elliott, now aged 88, was abducted with his wife Jocelyn in January 2016 close to the Niger border by a group believed to have links to Al Qaeda. Tsunami warnings were issued to countries in the South Pacific on Friday after a 7.7 magnitude struck southeast of the Loyalty Islands in the French territory of New Caledonia. Potential tsunami threats were issued for Vanuatu, Fiji and New Caledonia, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said, while Australia's meteorology bureau said there was a threat for Lord Howe Island off its east coast. Ukraine's capital Kyiv has been attacked from the air by Russia for the tenth time this month. Kyiv's authorities said it seemed all incoming missiles had been destroyed, but debris falling from the air caused some damage in two districts. Critics have branded the UK government's delayed £1bn package of support for the semiconductor industry as "insignificant". Semiconductors, or chips, are inside everything from phones to cars and the government has just unveiled a new 10-year strategy. But it is facing allegations it is not enough - the US and EU have announced support closer to $50bn (£40bn). A study, released on Thursday by the New York University Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, underscored how deeply rooted misogyny, racism and other extreme ideologies have become in some video game chat rooms, and offered insight into why people playing video games or socializing online seem to be particularly susceptible to such viewpoints. @0406z "Newsday" begins. 250ft unterminated BoG antenna pointed E/W w/MFJ-1020C active antenna (used as a preamplifier/preselector), Etón e1XM. 250kW, beamAz 315°, bearing 63°.

2.22.22 Headlines
WORLD NEWS
Russia: Lawmakers give Putin permission to use force outside Russia (AP)
“Lawmakers gave Russian President Vladimir Putin permission to use military force outside the country on Tuesday — a move that could presage a broader attack on Ukraine after the U.S. said an invasion was already underway there. Several European leaders said earlier in the day that Russian troops have moved into rebel-held areas in eastern Ukraine after Putin recognized their independence. But it was unclear how large the movements were, and Ukraine and its Western allies have long said Russian troops are fighting in the region. Moscow denies those allegations.”
Burkina Faso: Gold mine blast kills 60 (BBC)
“About 60 people have died after an explosion at a makeshift gold mine in a village in south-west Burkina Faso, local officials say. The blast happened in a market at the gold-mining site when dynamite stored there caught fire, witnesses said. Dozens of injured people have been evacuated to the nearest hospital.”
Hong Kong: Compulsory Covid tests for all citizens (BBC)
“Hong Kong's government has ordered the compulsory testing of all of its 7.5 million citizens as the city battles surging coronavirus infections. Chief Executive Carrie Lam said residents would have to undergo three rounds of tests starting in mid-March. Schools will break early for summer and strict social distancing measures and travel curbs remain in place there. The highly contagious Omicron variant has overwhelmed hospitals and testing and quarantine facilities this year.”
US NEWS
Ahmaud Arbery: All 3 defendants convicted of hate crimes in Arbery killing (AP)
“The three men convicted of murder in Ahmaud Arbery’s fatal shooting were found guilty of federal hate crimes and other lesser charges Tuesday for violating Arbery’s civil rights and targeting him because he was Black. In addition to the federal hate crimes, the jury also found father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan guilty of attempted kidnapping, while the McMichaels were also found guilty of the use of a firearm in the commission of a crime.”
George Floyd: Federal charges against 3 cops in Floyd killing (AP)
“Three former officers who were with Derek Chauvin as he pressed his knee into George Floyd’s neck are on trial on federal charges alleging they violated the Black man’s civil rights. Prosecutors have said J. Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao stood by as Chauvin slowly killed Floyd in front of them. Defense attorneys have said Chauvin, the senior officer, called the shots.”
Breonna Taylor: Jury to be finalized in Taylor-related shooting case (AP)
“Lawyers in the trial of a former Kentucky police officer involved in the deadly narcotics raid that left Breonna Taylor dead will return to court Tuesday to finish an extended jury selection process. The attorneys will attempt to winnow down a pool of 48 people to 12 jurors and three alternates for the trial of former officer Brett Hankison, who is charged with wanton endangerment for shooting into the apartment of one of Taylor’s neighbors on the night of the March 2020 raid.”

"I would like to leave behind me the conviction that if we maintain a certain amount of caution and organization we deserve victory. You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. ... We must dare to invent the future." - Thomas Sankara, From 1985 interview with Swiss Journalist Jean-Philippe Rapp, translated from Sankara: Un nouveau pouvoir africain by Jean Ziegler. Lausanne, Switzerland: Editions Pierre-Marcel Favre, 1986. In Thomas Sankara Speaks: The Burkina Faso Revolution 1983-87. trans. Samantha Anderson. New York: Pathfinder, 1988. pp. 141-144.

6/13/22
The S&P slid over 500 points, entering bear territory. (For those who don't know, a "bear market" is when stocks drop by over 20%.) This is due in huge part to the Consumer Price Index report that came out on Friday, which is a good glimpse into inflation rates, and it was at 8.6%. One tool the Fed has to end inflation is to increase interest rates. I'm going to be very simplistic here, but bear with me. Increasing rates encourages people to save instead of spend because leaving money in the bank means you're generating more. (Rates have been rock bottom since 2008 since the Fed wanted people to spend money.) However a downside is this often generates a recession since people can't easily borrow money to start a  business, buy a car/house, etc. since the interest is so high. So the Fed wants to tread lightly here. To give an example, for most of the 2010s the rate was less than 1%. During the height of the inflation in the 70s/80s, it was about 20%. (WSJ, Brookings Institute)
(Stocks are also sliding because of the Ukrainian War, and honestly Wall Street was inflated. There's no reason why it should've done so well during such a damaging pandemic.)
Crypto is also sliding significantly. Bitcoin has slid over 50% in the past few months, more than 15% today alone, but it's still over $22K. Many crypto banks are freezing withdrawals right now. (NYT, Washington Post) 
The war in the Ukraine is now focusing on the city of Severodonetsk. All bridges leading into the city have been destroyed, which is causing a supply issue for citizens inside. (BBC)
The January 6th riot inquiry continues. From what witnesses are saying, it seems after the election those who accepted the loss pushed back against being asked to do things they deemed illegal or impossible. Interestingly both Ivanka Trump and former Attorney General Barr stated they believed Trump lost the election. (BBC, The Hill)
Former Bolivian Interim President Añez was sentenced to ten years in prison for participating in the ousting of President Morales. For those of you who don't remember, there were protests over Morales' fourth electoral win due to voter fraud. He eventually fled the country and Añez stepped in after his successors resigned. After another election was held, Añez was arrested and was now convicted. There are various issues going on--Morales is Native American and Añez is of Spanish descent--so there were racial and economic overtones to this entire affair. Morales was very popular for his socialist policies, although power very arguably got to his head as the years went on. (Buenos Aires Times)
The US will no longer require a negative COVID test for people entering the country internationally. (AP)
I cannot believe I'm talking about this again, but let's go back to Brexit. Part of the reason why it was such a kerfuffle is the Northern Ireland-Republic of Ireland border and how goods cross it. British Prime Minister Johnson wants to change the current methods, which the EU is stating will violate international law. I will admit I didn't read too deeply into what he wants because I'm so tired of the issue, but if it actually passes parliament I'll do research into it. (Irish Times)
There was an attack on a village in Burkina Faso, killing 50 to 165 (getting wildly different numbers). Since the country experienced a coup in January, there have been these types of attacks, but this has been the deadliest. (Al Jazeera)
31 people were arrested in Idaho from a white nationalist group called Patriot Front after they were found dressed in riot gear in a U-Haul headed to a pride event. From what I can tell no guns were involved, but they had things like shields and body armor. (CNN)

My First Trip to Africa: Sierra Leone, Freetown - Kono
AFRICA
I constantly needed to go to Africa. Like most Afro-Americans, I experienced childhood in a situation adoring everything, Africa. When I arrived, I understand I Knew nothing about Africa. My maternal grandma clarified that everything Africa is ideal. Granny didn't, nonetheless, invest energy trashing the achievements of different societies.
Experiencing childhood in Nicaragua's Latino and dark societies. What's more, for me, there is no separating between these two ethnicities. Latinos are blacks, and dark are Latinos. Be that as it may, this can't for everybody who discovers favor with one gathering.
In Africa, these differentiations will amplify. Making a dreamlike reality where a tip top minority will treat other with aloof. Once in a while generalization can clarify things If it was simple as highly contrasting. In any case, things are only from time to time dark or white.
Generalizations
The typical generalization can't clarify Africa's ethnic contrasts; most society's look dim to me, however they're contrasts; contrasts that return for quite a long time. The Sierra Leoneans asked me frequently, "are you Nigerian," "American" or "Hausa," those typically came up. Boss Morsay characterized Biko and me as "white." He disclosed to us that we are outsiders simply like individuals with white skin. His forefinger was scouring the highest point of his hand for accentuation. At the point when Afro-Americans do this in a discussion, we realize that it's a hindrance similar to "Whites Only." "No doubt about it," he said. In Africa, it is important where you originate from, or from what side of the stream; on account of the Congo's Bushong and the Lele ethnic gathering; what side of the waterway has any kind of effect socially strategically and monetarily.
Tumblr media
Yet, none of that was at the forefront of my thoughts. I was eager to go to Africa. Identifying with my grandma's Afrocentric convictions; I needed to see with my own eyes the magnificence of the landmass that propelled human advancement and everything that makes us lovely: The melanin, the bends, mood, the nourishment Loose Diamonds. A rundown of protection instrument, my confidence used to battle the consistent flood of American bigot publicity, where everything is about shading, and dark is the shade that blacks out all hues.
Prejudice
Thusly, prejudice is the focal point through which most Afro-Americans see the world. It is anything but a contorting focal point; generally, the focal point is precise; albeit constraining. Concentrating just on the one view. In our current reality where individuals discover heap of approaches to isolate each other, bigotry makes this division conceivable.
Obviously the Belgians of King Leopold II acted in the most supremacist, cruel path towards the individuals of the Congo. In any case Mobutu Sese Seko of the Ngbandi ethnic gathering captured Patrice Lumumba of the Tetela ethnic gathering. I don't imagine that ethnicity was the reason for Mobutu Sese Seko offense towards Lumumba. Thomas Sankara and Blaise Compaoré, both are from the Mossi ethnic gathering of Burkina Faso. Be that as it may, much the same as King Leopold II, ravenousness was the explanation behind Mobutu's bad form towards Patrice Lumumba and the obliteration of innumerable Congolese lives. Compaoré did likewise in Burkina Faso making sure about benefits for a decision minority; keeping power to the detriment of Thomas Sankara and the individuals of Burkina Faso. Utilizing debasement, seizure even remote help to look after force. With no state to reply to, these men were the same than King Leopold II in the uncaring treatment of their compatriots.
In Sierra Leone, the (RUF) will actualize the equivalent, cutting off appendages and promotion orderly assault and murder; scattering thousands and oppressing the populace to separate precious stones for their own riches.
Destitution
Be that as it may, neediness is a relative thing. Having experienced childhood in the Caribbean and Latin America. I was familiar with third world reality. Yet, none of this readied me for Africa.
THE TRIP
The volume on discussions goes up the closer you get to the African takeoff relax. Things are immediate. Chuckling reinforced; the sucking of the teeth is noisy, the grins huge.
The plane arrived in Lungi International air terminal to an incredible melody of cheers and commendations. Like a Hollywood liberation scene, Africans are cheerful and thankful to be home. You can feel their fervor. I excessively was energized, to welcome the African air. Venturing out of the plane, I found the stickiness natural. What was extraordinary, was to investigate a group and seeing one shade of dark individuals. I made an effort not to look astounded; I imagine I've been here previously. The Africans saw me like on the off chance that I've been here before as well.
The landing area and runway are gigantic, similar to all air terminals. In any case, at Lungi you don't see the transports, trucks or the strolling burrow shielding you from severe climate. Everything is open and wide as the sky. I didn't see business planes or business airplane; simply void landing area with a far away blue-green woods skyline without any structures in sight.
Strolling into the slight migration building was an amazement, no groups! I thought this unusual for a worldwide air terminal. By one way or another, I figured they may be corresponding flights to the next piece of Africa. Just the individuals who will load up on a similar plane in course to Liberia. Immediately as you enter the structure, you see some old design desk areas with present day unique mark acknowledgment machines. Movement officials were simple and fast. They request visa and yellow immunization card. Welcome to Sierra Leone!
The individuals of Sierra Leone are cordial; they are liberal with their usual range of familiarity. They welcome you, contact you delicately with a typical custom.
Hanging tight for our baggage, I was pulled in to two enormous, great, standing wooden figures. Two activity figures cut from a solitary tree trunk. Nobody paid these any brain. They stroll by them like disturbance African gift. I constantly valued the tender loving care of African craftsmanship; there is a thought for the watcher, the wearer, and treatment of antiquities. This relationship of inviting aesthetically with move, surface, nourishment and hues was for me African expressions usefulness.
Albeit exceptionally amazing, I didn't know at that point; those two wooden models will speak to the zenith of my African aesthetic impression.
Leaving the air terminal, we see a sign with our names. Our host Chernor, we call him Cherry, orchestrate to have Lamin welcome us and mastermind the transport tickets that will take us to the sea shore and the ship to Freetown. Lamin works for an organization that helps explorers to Sierra Leonne. Having somebody on the ground that speaks, Krio was quieting. Krio is a superior haggling language; trading cash is forceful, a few notes have inclinations. So there's space for sparing in the event that you can deal in Krio.
Outside, they're youngsters selling transport tickets alongside Sim Cards. They're serious, however not pushy. There's heaps of money in sight persistently trading hands. We hang tight for the cool smaller than normal transports to load up with travelers. The ship can't away, about a mile. Be that as it may, it takes around ten minutes drive to arrive. The street isn't right; I believed this being the route to the air terminal it may be in better consideration, yet no. It was only the asking of the numerous instances of disregard and defilement that the individuals of Sierra Leone live with everyday.
The sea shore is enormous and clean; I notice this on the grounds that wherever else is by all accounts litter with garbage. I see some humble hurriedly built shanties. I was searching for beautiful angling vessels yet didn't perceive any. They're little kids, playing with torn and messy western garments. They paid us no psyche. As of now the little wharf was brimming with the traveler from the plane, sitting tight for the ship; baggage and individuals under a wooden cottage, with an equipped watchman. We hung tight for a few hours. It will be nightfall before they called our numbered tickets, the little ship made a few outings moving us securely to Freetown.
The vessel ride takes not exactly an hour to cross the ocean estuary showing up in Freetown around evening time. The view was dull with no recognizing highlights to see. Inside, our host Cherry and his driver Mohamed are there pausing. They selected us from the group preceding anybody offers to help. Lamin had sent photographs. Cherry ensured that Mohamed gets our gear. Cherry welcomed us with a major grin, shimmering eyes, on a splendid round well disposed face.
