• In this clip, 34-year-old Pyra Diantouadi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) expressed his disbelief at Ukrainians asking him to take up guns to fight for Kiev. He laughed at the idea of facing Russian troops, saying he'd stick out like a sore thumb and probably be killed, thanks to his skin colour.

    He was lucky to get a train ride westward into Poland, where ABC News recorded this interview. However, reports say Ukrainian soldiers turned away many African men at train stations. In 2020, the government reported it had more than 80,000 international students from 158 countries.

    This brother's response is not surprising, as Africans have historically been used to fight in European wars, whether it was in the US war on Vietnam, the two World Wars some historians refer to as imperialist wars, the US Civil War or US settler-colonisers' war of 'independence' against the British. Our people unfortunately have a history of fighting for people who would never fight for us. But, at least this brother followed in the steps of boxer and activist Muhammad Ali, who refused to be deployed to Vietnam in 1967, essentially saying, 'Hell no!'

  • Juche-Mind-Control: What is the concept of Juche?
    In contemporary political discourse on North Korea, Juche has a connotation of "self-reliance", "autonomy", and "independence". It is often defined in opposition to the Korean concept of Sadae, or reliance on the great powers. South Koreans use the word without reference to the North Korean ideology.

  • FINALLY! I was just talking about this! Now whites can’t control the flow of info! For a minute anyway in the U.S.

    As the BRICS nations challenge Big Tech's dominance, the internetcould fracture. What would replace Google, Facebook and Amazon ina parallel digital world?

    Russia plans a new internet upholding "traditional values." China wants one serving all equally. Is this to control data or for digital independence?

    The BRICS are hustling on innovation, with major moves in AI, 5G (even 6G!), quantum computing and more. If they craft a sovereign online sphere catering to local needs, what could we gain or lose?

    Around 50 countries now aim to control domestic data. But in a fragmented web, what happens to rights, business and new ideas? As boundaries grow, how do we balance openness and security?

  • Are the Bahamas part of the USA? No, the Bahamas are not, and never have been, part of the United States. It is an independent country that is part of the Commonwealth, having gained its independence from Britain in 1973.
