Kemi Badenoch Slams UK Decision To Recognize Palestinian State

Kemi Badenoch Slams UK Move To Recognize Palestinian State

Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative Party leader have sharply criticized Britain’s decision to recognize Palestine as an independent state, as she calls the move “absolutely disastrous” and warned it would have lasting repercussions.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced on Sunday that the United Kingdom had formally joined more than 150 countries in recognizing Palestinian statehood. In a statement shared on X, Starmer said the decision reflected Britain’s commitment to supporting a two-state solution to the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“I know the strength of feeling that this conflict provokes,” the prime minister said, framing the move as a step toward peace and …

UK To Pay £2.9M In Landmark Ruling Over Kenya Wildfire

For the first time, Britain’s government has agreed to compensate Kenyans for damage caused by its military, agreeing to pay £2.9 million ($3.9 million) in settlement after a devastating wildfire linked to its troops in 2021.

The payout follows a landmark ruling in Nairobi that stripped the British Army of long-standing legal immunity in Kenya, a decision that could reshape accountability for foreign militaries operating abroad.

The case centered on a blaze that swept across the Lolldaiga Hills Conservancy in central Kenya, destroying more than 12,000 acres of land used for conservation and cattle grazing. The fire, which raged for …

Western Influence The Unseen Control Over Africa

Western Influence: The Unseen Control Over Africa

The historical script of Africa has been punctuated with interference from Western powers, hinged on personal interests. A deep-dive into the annals of the late 1800s uncovers the onset of this hegemonic relationship. Armed with superior technology and a pang of relentless hunger for expansion, the Western world penetrated the rich expanse of Africa. They were met with an abundance of resources, warm-hearted people, and fertile land. The primary obstacle, ironically, was the very inhabitants of the land.

The narrative of Western imperialism was one of violent dispossession. Colonisation saw the murder and enslavement of indigenous populations, driven by …

Britain, And Her Joy In Profiting From Stolen Artifacts

Britain, And Her Joy In Profiting From Stolen Artifacts

A century after serving as the principal slaving country of the modern world, it appears Britain has yet to find any remorse.

Till date, why is it that there is no substantial public monument of national contrition equivalent to Berlin’s Holocaust

Africans, It Is Time To Shed Your Colonial Garments

Africans, It Is Time To Shed Your Colonial Garments

Take them off, watch them hit the floor, and step all over them, just as the colonial masters trampled over your rights, cultures, and even your very identity, leaving you confused about your ‘reinvented nature.’

Africa has been reinvented so many times and clothed in heavy colonial garments that it trudges through its existence not knowing what it truly is, and taking every definition and identity ascribed to it by its oppressors.

The colonial masters did a thorough job of projecting an identity onto Africa, telling Africans what they should and shouldn’t be. False narratives were written, stereotypes were …

It Is Time Britain Started Returning Their Loot From Africa

It Is Time Britain Started Returning Their Loot From Africa

Till date, all the victims of Hitler in the 2nd World War are still being compensated, and looted artifacts are still being returned. Many victims of the Holocaust are still being apologised to, why then are Africans the only ones who are constantly being reminded that they should forgive and forget?

The days of colonialism were quite crazy. Colonialism which is the practice of one country assuming partial or full political control of another country and occupying it with settlers for purposes of profiting from its resources and economy is quite difficult to distinguish from imperialism. Since both practices revolve …

But industry groups continue to warn of potential chaos for road hauliers and the possibility of drugs shortages, as vital preparations remain …
