Exclusive: US aims to bring in 4,500 white South Africans per month as refugees, document says

The new target, contained in a previously unreported document from the U.S. State Department dated January 27, signals a push to ramp up admissions from South Africa, while refugee applications from other areas have been severely curtailed.

Trump has said the U.S. would only admit 7,500 total refugees from around the world in fiscal year 2026, while a much higher cap of 40,000 to 60,000 was discussed internally last year. Only 2,000 white South Africans had entered the U.S. as refugees as of January 31 under a program launched in May 2025, although the pace has picked up in recent months.

Because of Trump's sweeping refugee ban issued in January 2025, South Africans must be admitted as exceptions on a case-by-case basis by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Prior to the pause on admissions, South African entries had been ramping up, with about 1,500 admitted in December and January, compared with about 500 in the previous six-and-a-half months, according to U.S. State Department figures.

Stupid, naive question, doesn’t this just water down and wither Boer economic hegemony in South Africa anyway? If the US was serious it would send its citizens own Dutch and English diaspora over to SA.

U.S. Considers Withholding H.I.V. Aid Unless Zambia Expands Minerals Access

The State Department is considering withholding lifesaving assistance to people with H.I.V. in Zambia as a negotiating tactic to force the government of the southern African country to sign a deal giving the United States more access to its critical minerals.

OCS Peter Mugambi Summoned to Court as Police Fabrication Unravels in the Booker Omole Case
From the Central Organizing Committee of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya

The Central Organizing Committee of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya addresses all Party members, all progressive forces in Kenya, and the international working class movement on the unfolding political persecution of our General Secretary, Booker Ngesa Omole.

The initial facts of the case in the pre trial proceedings of Booker Omole vs Republic are now emerging with clarity. What was presented to the public as a criminal case is increasingly being exposed as a politically motivated fabrication directed against the leadership of the revolutionary movement in Kenya.

The Registrar of the Firearms Bureau has now submitted an updated report confirming that General Secretary Booker Omole is a lawful firearm holder. This official report directly disproves the allegations previously advanced by OCS Peter Mugambi, who had claimed that the General Secretary was in illegal possession of a firearm. Faced with this evidence, the prosecution has already moved to amend the charge sheet and replace the original accusation with a new allegation of misuse of a firearm.

This retreat by the prosecution demonstrates that the foundation of the case that was used to arrest, detain and imprison the General Secretary was false.

During the same pre trial proceedings, the lead police witness, Mr Andrew Amoth, filed an affidavit and took an oath before the court. In his sworn statement he narrated how he was coerced and threatened by the police to frame the General Secretary. In his testimony he specifically named OCS Peter Mugambi and the investigating officer Mr Munene as the officers who directed the fabrication of the allegations.

According to the sworn testimony of Mr Amoth, the OCS demanded that he cooperate with the police without any search warrant or lawful order. He was accused of renting a house to what the police falsely described as an extremist organisation allegedly linked to foreign governments and criminal networks. He was told that he must either assist the police in the framing of the General Secretary or face arrest and the destruction of his business.

He was further threatened that if he did not cooperate he would suffer severe legal and economic consequences. Under these threats he was pressured to assist in the construction of the case against the General Secretary.

The sitting magistrate, Hon. M. Nanzushi (S.P.M.) at the Mavoko Law Courts, has now summoned OCS Peter Mugambi to appear before the court. Both Mugambi and the investigating officer Mr Munene have been ordered to attend the next pre trial session on 7 April. They will be required to explain why the personal effects of the General Secretary continue to be held by the police in defiance of court orders, and the investigating officer will be cross examined regarding the circumstances under which the charges were brought.

This development represents an important moment in the struggle to expose the political persecution that has been directed against the leadership of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya.

The case against Booker Ngesa Omole, the General Secretary of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya, began with his abduction without warrant, his torture in police custody, and his imprisonment on fabricated allegations. What is now being revealed in open court confirms what the Party and the progressive movement have maintained from the beginning: this case was constructed as part of a broader campaign of intimidation against the revolutionary movement.

The Central Organizing Committee therefore announces the launch of the #JusticeForBookerOmole campaign.
Beginning 16 March 2026 at 8am, this campaign will run for the entire week. Its purpose is to raise national and international awareness of the case and to mobilise financial support for the legal defence of the General Secretary

Let the truth be known.

Let the fabrication be exposed.

Let justice prevail.

We urge all comrades and supporters to share the information, participate in the campaign, and support the legal defence effort.
Justice for Booker Omole is justice for the working class.

>The fundamental difference between us in Peru who originally accepted the APRA (as a project for a united front, never as a party or even as an effective organizer of struggle), and those outside Peru who later defined it as a Latin American Kuomintang, is that the former remain faithful to the revolutionary, socioeconomic conception of anti-imperialism; the latter, meanwhile, explain their position by saying: "We are leftists (or socialists) because we are anti-imperialists." Anti-imperialism thereby is raised to the level of a program, a political attitude, a movement that is valid in and of itself and that leads spontaneously to socialism, to the social revolution (how, we have no idea). This idea inordinately overestimates the anti-imperialist movement, exaggerates the myth of the struggle for a "second independence," and romanticizes that we are already living in the era of a new emancipation. This leads to the idea of replacing the anti-imperialist leagues with political parties. From an APRA initially conceived as a united front, a popular alliance, a bloc of oppressed classes, we pass to an APRA defined as the Latin American Kuomintang.

>For us, anti-imperialism does not and cannot constitute, by itself a political program for a mass movement capable of conquering state power. Anti-imperialism, even if it could mobilize the nationalist bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie on the side of the worker and peasant masses (and we have already definitively denied this possibility), does not annul class antagonisms nor suppress different class interests.


>Neither the bourgeoisie nor the petty bourgeoisie in power can carry out anti-imperialist politics. To demonstrate this we have the experience of Mexico, where the petty bourgeoisie has just allied with Yankee imperialism. In its relations with the United States, a "nationalist" government might use different language than the Leguia government of Peru. This government is clearly, unabashedly Pan-Americanist and Monroeist. But any other bourgeois government would carry out the same practical policies on loans and concessions. Foreign capital investment in Peru grows in direct and close relation to the country's economic development, the exploitation of its natural riches, its population, and the improvement of its routes of communication. How can the most demagogic petty bourgeois oppose this capitalist penetration? With nothing but words; with nothing but a quick, nationalist fix. The taking of power by anti-imperialism, if it were possible, would not represent the taking of power by the proletarian masses, by socialism. The socialist revolution will find its most bloody and dangerous enemy (dangerous because of their confusionism and demagogy) in those petty bourgeois placed in power by the voices of order.


>Without ruling out the use of any type of anti-imperialist agitation or any action to mobilize those social sectors that might eventually join the struggle, our mission is to explain to and show the masses that only the socialist revolution can stand as a definitive and real barrier to the advance of imperialism.

Benin’s Wadagni wins presidential election with landslide 94% of votes

Benin’s Minister of Finance Romuald Wadagni has secured a landslide victory in the country’s presidential election with more than 94 percent of the votes, according to provisional results.

Wadagni is the chosen successor of Benin’s President Patrice Talon and was backed by the country’s governing coalition.

Benin’s governing coalition holds every parliamentary seat after the Democrats failed to win 20 percent of the vote in the January 2026 elections, the threshold needed to enter the National Assembly. The Democrats won about 16 percent.

Zimbabwe's iconic stone birds were taken by colonialists. Finally, they're all back home

The grey, soapstone carving was repatriated from neighbouring South Africa - it wound up there having been ripped from its column, then sold to British imperialist Cecil Rhodes.

On Tuesday, South Africa repatriated the bird, along with eight sets of human remains, previously exhumed in Zimbabwe by colonial researchers and donated to a South African museum.

There's a jihadi Tet Offensive going down in Mali. JNIM and their Tuareg allies are overrunning towns and cities (Sevare, Kidal, Gao) in different parts of the country. Also Kati which is outside Bamako and apparently inside Bamako. There's also talk that that defense minister's house was attacked.

>Wagner are extremly incompetent and failing to beat the Jihadis, the Jihadis were helped by Ukraine for a bit, but most of their support is local, they're winning because Mali and Wagner is corrupt.
wagner (actually its called africa corps now) is mostly light infantry, the problem isnt that they're incompetent or corrupt (although they likely are, given they're mercenaries fucks), the problem is they dont have much heavy equipment or air support and arent many (and the most skilled guys prolly were kept in russia for the war). They're a small support force mostly there to help with shit like training or radio jamming
And I suspect france is helping the jihadist too. Just after france was kicked out mali had managed to retake kidal, a feat french military never helped with, and now they're becoming stronger and striking back and there were report of ukrainians helping them out, so its safe to assume the west empire is backing them as retaliation for the sahel states giving them the boot and nationalizing shit.

>the end of this war is probably a de facto independant islamic state in Northern Mali

This really has the potential to snowball into something much larger, there are already insurrections in other Sahel countries, no one is going to do anything to save them is Russia can't. Libya, next door, is still divided, and there is a large muslim population across the Sahel that are disfavored and discriminated against and that might be convinced to join Al Qaeda/Isis, there is also no international appetite to do anything about it.

Ghana parliament passes anti-LGBTQ+ bill

The parliament in Ghana has approved a new bill criminalising homosexuality and the promotion of LGBTQ+ activities.
Identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender or queer can be punished by up to three years' imprisonment. The bill also introduces a "duty to report" prohibited acts to police.
Religious leaders have pressured President John Dramani Mahama, who still needs to ratify the legislation, to strengthen anti-gay laws since he came to power last year.

Senegal approves tougher anti-gay law as rights groups raise concerns

Senegal's parliament has approved a new law doubling to 10 years the maximum prison term for sexual acts by same-sex couples and criminalising the "promotion" of homosexuality.
The measure was supported by 135 MPs, none voted against it while three abstained. The next step will be for the president to sign it into law.
The legislation, which was a campaign promise of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, was sent to parliament after a wave of arrests over alleged same-sex relationships, already banned under Senegalese law.

https://youtu.be/Racjd5A8IDg

many years ago in the early era of youtube i found this documentary called haschisch about a community of rural hash farmers in morocco and it was pretty fascinating, it shows them doing the work of growing and harvesting weed and processing it into hash and selling it to smugglers to scrape out a meager living, hanging out and smoking in their off hours, very candid and authentic interviews with the various people involved in the operation where they just say whatever is on their minds. it's an interesting look into a community of people who live and operate in this unique sort of clandestine interzone between the industrial capitalist western world and the agrarian world of their ancestors. it's a true documentary done in a style you don't see so much anymore, it has no artificial narrative arc or narration of any kind, no corny emotional musical score to manipulate you into feeling a certain way, it's just life captured onto film.

despite the title it goes a bit deeper than just being a documentary about hash farming, particularly in the interview segments where you hear from all these people of different generations and their respective views and outlooks on life. the younger people seem to be a lot more restless and ambitious and disillusioned with this way of life and they have this very idealized view of modern western society and they talk about how they want to leave morocco and go to europe and go to university and have professional careers and stuff like that, one of them talks about his many failed attempts to illegally immigrate through the underground human trafficking network from the middle east into europe and how difficult and dangerous it is.

the middle aged guy who seems to be the boss of the whole operation comes across as somewhat disillusioned with it as well but ultimately resigned to it because a lot of people depend on him and he's been doing this for a long time and it's all he knows and he's not in a position to try to change and do something else with his life, he talks about the burdens and risks and the stress of running the business and how much work is involved and the hassles of motivating his workers because the younger ones just want to get out and try to run off to europe and the older ones like to partake in the product and just hang out and get high rather than work and he himself doesn't even smoke anymore because he's too busy and it interferes with his ability to work and keep the business together.

the most interesting person i think is this old guy who kind of comes across as the wise village elder and has a sort of sage-like personality and he just sits and smokes his hash pipe and talks about philosophy and the state of the world and freedom and the human condition. during his monologue at the end of the film he talks to the filmmaker directly and cites the story of the prophet solomon who could talk to birds and the birds would carry his message across the world, making the point that the filmmaker and others like him in western society are sort of like solomon, that they are free in a way that people in africa are not, that they have the ability to make contact with people all over the world and they have the opportunity to build something new, some new idea that could benefit everyone, and that this is the only way for things in the world to truly change, that when people are cut off from one another their paths are also cut off and they cannot move, but when people join hands across the world they can move.

it's very interesting to hear these kinds of ideas coming directly from the minds of ordinary everyday people who aren't prestigious academics or writers or political figures or anything like that, they don't really have much formal education, probably don't have a lot of book knowledge beyond the sacred texts of their religious traditions that everyone in their society is familiar with, yet they have a very deep understanding of the fundamental nature of the world and human affairs that is very organically formed through many years of life experience and many hours of earnest conversation and contemplative meditation in a world that has very few distractions, where there is nothing to do but work very hard all day and then spend time with your family and friends or meditate by yourself when the work is over.

>>2811993
>there is also no international appetite to do anything about it
what do you mean, the french are hard at work to help the islamists win (although they only want to be seen with the tuaregs azawad guys allied with them, easier for the narrative). they sent a bunch of foreign legion ukrainians with their drones to help fuck mali, everything going as planned for them.

>>2827690
>yet they have a very deep understanding of the fundamental nature of the world and human affairs
doubt, I bet they mostly have some platitudes and usual spiritualist bs to offer in the end. Just cause they arent idiots and can articulate some ideas doesnt mean theres "deep understanding".
still look interesting, might watch it later
