This Kenyan man thought he was traveling to Russia to join a basketball team. Instead, he was forced to join the Russian military and fight Russia’s war in Ukraine.

For years, I've been exposing Russia's atrocities in Africa—from Wagner's blood-soaked mines in CAR to their wars in Mali. The truth hurts, and now Russian trolls are targeting me with insults & death threats. They want me silenced. I won't be. Africa's stories deserve to be told.
Proud to spend time with some of the brightest students in Esslingen, Germany, and with the city’s Lord Mayor Matthias Klopfer. Spoke about how Russian disinformation targets democracy in Germany and parts of Europe by amplifying societal divisions on issues like migration and energy
I’m not afraid to inform Europe that Russia’s hybrid warfare in Africa is intentionally engineered not only to exploit resources and destabilize nations, but also to generate instability that drives large-scale migration toward Europe and weakens EU democracy and cohesion.
Across West Africa, Russian-backed entities are spreading disinformation through media outlets & social platforms, encouraging people to embark on perilous journeys to Europe with false promises of opportunity and prosperity. These campaigns are designed to destabilize.
Russia has recruited thousands of young foreigners into its army to fight in Ukraine amid severe manpower shortages caused by over a million Russian troops killed or wounded. Many signed up to support their families but were misled into believing they would not see active combat
Today, I turn 40. Despite the scars from my arrest & torture by CAR soldiers, ordered by Russian mercenaries, I’m more determined than ever to expose their crimes in Africa. Join me in this fight. Please donate to my GoFundMe to support my investigations: www.gofundme.com/f/philip-oba...
Glad to speak on Russian disinformation and human rights atrocities committed by Russian paramilitaries at an event hosted in Geneva, Switzerland, by the Missions of Latvia, Estonia and Poland to the United Nations.
Russia and Belarus have manipulated illegal migration, using it as a hybrid weapon against Poland and Western nations.
Russia has a plan to cause trouble in Europe using trolls from Africa. They are setting up troll farms in countries like Ghana & Nigeria. These trolls spread lies in the media, aimed at creating division, fear, and chaos so they can weaken Europe’s power. The EU must wake up.
The warmth, love, and incredible hospitality of the Ukrainian people touched my heart deeply. Even in the toughest of times, they welcomed me, an African journalist, like family. Thank you for your kindness and resilience. Героям слава! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🙏

The Israeli occupation army targeted farmers in Mansouri, in the Tyre district, with phosphorus bombs while they were harvesting watermelons. Three incendiary munitions landed near the farmers, forcing them to flee as fires broke out across the fields.
Near as I can tell, American press are still claiming that it’s unclear what’s causing these explosions. Meanwhile BBC is calling it out. You have to know by now, our press is shit. I put stock in the BBC before CNN or WA PO or <insert major US news outlet here> www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Sword Peak" (Jianfeng) located in the Shennongjia National Nature Reserve in Hubei Province, China. Millions of years ago, this area was an ocean floor made of thick layers of limestone. Earth's movements pushed these layers upward, creating vertical fractures. #nature #geography #science

How is China viewing the U.S. depletion of weapons stocks that could theoretically defend Taiwan? "China is definitely looking at that," said Vivian Salama. "A number of ... just diverted interests that China sees as a door opening, and its intense interest in securing its position in Taiwan."

Sec. Buttigieg: Most Americans agree with us that the government should be doing more and not less to make sure you can get health care, and that you can afford it. That means expanding Medicaid and expanding the Affordable Care Act — not tearing it down.

What the hell. PURA got this dead wrong. This decision delivers $68 million more in profits and hundreds of thousands of dollars in bonus pay for corporate executives. CT families and businesses cannot afford the bills they get now, and they cannot afford this increase. We're going to keep fighting.
It was an honour to join @jasathwal.bsky.social commemorating the contributions of Commonwealth troops in the First World War. I also paid tribute to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and our dedicated volunteers in Basingstoke honouring the legacy of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
