🇷🇺 Colonial borders fuel instability in Africa - Lavrov

The legacy of colonialism remains a key driver of instability across Africa, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Kommersant published on Monday. He attributed much of the continent's turmoil to borders drawn by departing colonial powers without regard for ethnic, cultural, and historical realities. Lavrov argued that colonial map-making practices resulted in the fragmentation of ethnic groups across newly formed national borders. This led to "chaos," he said, explaining that the colonial authorities drew maps "with a ruler" throughout the continent, dividing entire communities. He cited the Tuareg people, who are now split between Algeria and Mali, as well as other groups such as the Tutsi and Hutu in Rwanda. Despite the destabilizing impact of these borders, Lavrov noted that the African Union has made a decision not to revise them.

👔 The Democrat-concocted 'Maryland Man' hoax is aiming to demonize border security

The propaganda press's latest manufactured sob story isn't just another hit piece targeting President Donald Trump — it's part of a manufactured, strategic campaign to guilt Americans out of supporting immigration enforcement and delegitimize the very concept of national borders. Last month the Trump administration deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gang member from El Salvador — to a prison in El Salvador. Abrego Garcia crossed the border illegally in 2011 and was detained in March of 2019. He was charged with removability and was later denied bond when an immigration judge concluded that evidence "show[ed] [Abrego Garcia] is a verified member of MS-13" and found that he failed to prove "that his release from custody would not pose a danger to others." As explained by Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article 3 Project, Abrego filed an asylum claim six months later. In turn, a judge ruled Abrego Garcia could not be deported to El Salvador.

The brave precedent for saying 'no' already having been set by colleagues refusing to follow the commands of the Israeli war cabinet.

When Neville Chamberlain declared "peace for our time" on 30 September 1938, holding up the Munich Agreement which condoned the German Annexation of the Sudetenland, the world was at war only one year later. 87 years later, about one kilometre away from the venue of the Munich Conference 1938, US Vice-President James David Vance made it abundantly clear at the Munich Security Conference 2025, that the USA expect Europe to "step up in a big way to provide for its own defence." Should Russia, against this background, choose to test the true value of Article 5 NATO-Treaty, for example by attacking the peripheral areas of the Black Sea Region or the Baltic States, this would be the ultimate test for NATO.

🛡️ Can Israel & Turkiye manage their escalating rivalry in Syria?

The "deconfliction mechanism" that they're reportedly discussing would likely be insufficient for resolving their security dilemma and might thus only delay what could be an inevitable clash. Israel and Turkiye held talks in Azerbaijan last week on the creation of a so-called "deconfliction mechanism" for preventing an accidental conflict between them in Syria. No details were disclosed but it might resemble the one that Israel and Russia agreed upon in September 2015 and which is still in use. Unlike its precedent, however, this new one that's reportedly in the works has much higher stakes given the escalating Israeli-Turkish rivalry in Syria since the fall of the Assad Government last December. Israel never regarded post-Soviet Russia as a threat, and in fact, relations between them are closer than ever under Putin due to his lifelong passionate philo-Semitism. Their "deconfliction mechanism" therefore wasn't all that difficult to negotiate and maintain since Russia had no...

France Booted Given all the recent activity surrounding Algeria, the question of whether or not the country is the key to solidarity in North Africa arises. Few realize that Algeria was once a major power in the Mediterranean, invaded and later conquered by France in the 19th century. The people of the country suffered tremendously because of French colonialism. The French rule ushered in massive European settlement that displaced the local population. At least one-third of the population was eradicated due to warfare, disease, and starvation. The country's historical importance is dramatically underestimated....

"Every western society is confronted by an internal cultural conflict between those who wish to distance society from its civilizational legacy and those who wish to renew it." — Frank Furedi on Substack Whatever else you think is happening in our world, contraction is the reality-based order-of-the-day, and everything else is downstream of that. The world has to get by with less. Nothing is going to fix this for everybody, though any number of schemes for redistributing what's left will preoccupy the political mojo. Right now, it's tariffs, which are an attempt to restore industry ceded to the formerly left-behind people elsewhere in the world — taking back what we used to do. You are correct to wonder if this is even possible. The wish is surely understandable, if a bit fuzzy and over-simplified: to be again a nation of people occupied purposefully in the service of a bright future. Redemption stories are deeply appealing. Many of us are aware that the hour for this is late....

🌧️ EU urges candidate states not to celebrate WW2 victory in Moscow

Countries aspiring to join the EU should not take part in the 80th anniversary celebrations of Russia's victory in World War II, the bloc's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, has said. Victory Day, one of Russia's most important public holidays, is marked by a large military parade on Red Square and a moment of silence to honor the estimated 26.6 million Soviet lives lost during the war against Nazi Germany and its allies. Some EU officials have argued that attending the celebrations in Moscow would be inappropriate given the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. "Any participation in the May 9th parades - or celebrations - in Moscow will not [be] taken lightly on the European side, considering that Russia is waging a full-scale war in Europe," Kallas said following a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg on Monday.

Lorena Paiz, the lead archaeologist behind the discovery, said the altar was likely used in sacrifice rituals, "especially of children."

Lorena Paiz, the lead archaeologist behind the discovery, said the altar was likely used in sacrifice rituals, "especially of children."

Tikal, a powerful Mayan city-state known for its towering jungle temples, had long battled with the Kaanul dynasty for control of the region, says CBS News.
